Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.

Rules

  1. No Reddit shills or trolls. But if you have a good argument for why Reddit should live, we'll hear you out.
  2. Try to be civil and intelligent. Be angry at Reddit, not each other.
  3. Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people.
  4. Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit. Use archive.today and archive.org links.

Will add more rules as needed.

If you're concerned that your post might be astroturfed/brigaded by pro-reddit individuals, give us mods a heads up beforehand, and we'll try to monitor the thread.

Pingu sitting on a chair with their arms crossed and a scowl on their face. Text below the picture says “well now I don’t want to anymore

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 5 months ago

Perfection.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 6 points 5 months ago

I mean, if Redditors (Reddiots?) are doing it, then it must be "cool", r-r-right?

[–] pressedhams@lemmy.blahaj.zone 61 points 5 months ago (2 children)

You know, as a treat.

[–] horn_e4_beaver@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 5 months ago

For when you are trying to cut down.

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 6 points 5 months ago

But it's very moreish.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 39 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Wtf, we have laws against advertising drugs or not showing their use on tv. But these AI shits can recommend illegal drugs and their use? You only need to be 13 for a reddit account, so this equates to advertising illegal drugs to a child.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Huh? There are constant ads for drugs on US TV.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Illicit drugs.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Sorry, I was thinking about licit ones as well

[–] emeralddawn45@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 months ago

I mean i think the AI sucks and shouldnt be a thing, but its just summarizing information thats already on reddit and fully readable even without a reddit account. Based on the article it also didnt come out and say 'you should try heroin', the person searched for 'heroin for pain management' and it came back with 'some users report using heroin for pain successfully'

Ah yes but you see that laws don't apply if rich idiots build plagiarism synthesis software with inherently unpredictable outcomes, thats uh... everyone else's fault, or something, because we're trying really hard, guys!

In other news did you know that when the AI bubble collapses in the US stock market, it'll wipe out 20 trillion dollars of asset valuation?

So thats your 401k going bye bye.

Like I said, everyone else's problem.

Heroin: 7/10 (now I just want more heroin)

9/10 with rice (still want more heroin)

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 4 points 5 months ago

You guys doing heroin? Yeah, I'm such a heroin doer! Whaddya say my fellow heroiners?

[–] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Has it suggested heroin on pizza?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago

The forbidden Parmesan…

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well I was on the fence before but if off-brand AI says it might be a good idea then how could it be bad?

I’m off to purchase one heroine to try.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

it might hard to purchase historical heroine person.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I hate to be “that guy” but if you want to purchase a person the past is the best place to go. Buying a person these days is mostly illegal.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago (2 children)

This is like the third time I've read about AI telling someone to take heroin.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

There must be something to it, then!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

will it be able to tell the difference between HEROIN AND HEROINE.

You should see what 4chan GPT has to say. Yes it is a thing if you haven't been around. Bit torrent only for access as it is banned everywhere. It was the last J6 variant without open AI cross training on the QKV alignment layers, so it is the actual key to understanding alignment thinking by comparisons over time as statistics.

Glad I moved here.

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

fuck reddit

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Problem?

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Supposedly it's linking to advice Redditors already gave, which would probably have already turned up if you were doing a non-AI search.

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 7 points 5 months ago

what a horrible bot. it's just going to go around suggesting everyone divorce their wives, buy gamestop stock, use heroin, install hyprland, and subscribe to pizzacomics onlyfans.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 5 months ago

Their real capital was their user base. They replaced it with something that regurgitates past posts, whilst putting of the people who made those posts.

So they won't make them anymore and thus there is no new capital being made...

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I gave up a few paragraphs in trying to find the part about the heroin (the thing the headline said). So tired of procedurally generated clickbait slop.

[–] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Second paragraph after the screenshot.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Okay, reddit AI! 🫡

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Just try it, you are not going to get addicted and spiral down for it

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You definitely won't regret trying heroin a second time!

[–] VoteNixon2016@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 months ago

"Heroin: Pretty please don't try it a third time"
