Because if there’s anything a link aggregator needs, it’s MORE reasons for people to not read linked articles! Will they also add AI responses? That way users wouldn’t need to bother with reading OR writing!

I’ve enjoyed the last Tiny Tina one actually, except the atrocious DLC, but hated the dialogue in 3 too.

Hahaha, great point :) HELLO FELLOW HUMAN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUILD AN AUTHENTIC, TRUSTED AND ENGAGED RELATIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER HUMAN BEING THAT IS TOTALLY NOT A ROBOT? :D

Quotes from the original announcement:

Today, Reddit is the most human place on the internet, and one of the last places on the internet where brands can build authentic, trusted and engaged relationships with customers.

Bwahaha, “most human”? Really? Wow.

A scalable, AI-powered social listening tool designed to unlock strategic value

Barf. Oh boy, “social listening tool” - that’s a new one…

These are tools for a new era of community marketing, one where brands can tap into Reddit’s authenticity

Yup, because nothing says “authenticity” like artificially realigned messages interspersed with AI slop ads. Such real, much authentic, wow…

Guess I’m not a REAL Borderlands fan, since I’m still not going to “make it happen” at this price, and even if I do eventually buy it (and that’s an if - I’ll carefully read multiple reviews and watch a couple of streams before I decide) it’s going to be for max half that. Tough shit, eh Randy?

Wouldn’t be surprised, since “no” as a full sentence does not exist in tech or online anymore - it’s always “yes” or “maybe later/not now/remind me next time” or other crap like that…

Et tu, Wikipedia?

My god, why does every damn piece of text suddenly need to be summarized by AI? It’s completely insane to me. I want to read articles, not their summaries in 3 bullet points. I want to read books, not cliff notes, I want to read what people write to me in their emails instead of AI slop. Not everything needs to be a fucking summary!

It seriously feels like the whole damn world is going crazy, which means it’s probably me… :(

Amen to that - way too many people forget that interviews are a two way street. You interview me, sure, but at the same time I am also interviewing you to see if the company is a good fit for me. Job seekers are not (or should not be) a bunch of starving orphans begging rich for job owners for scraps. Having a job means providing a service and being compensated for it, not total servitude…

I would have to be MUCH more desperate than I am to ever accept being interviewed by a damn machine… It’s even worse than those “record yourself answering these questions” bullshit. Nobody should work for a company that does not even respect them enough to talk to them

Are these politicians linked to drug trade more than the Sinaloa cartel? Just asking questions, ya know ;) https://apnews.com/article/el-chapo-sinaloa-cartel-trump-border-harfuch-86572a31c88a216da7cd5f33006a0011

DEREK SMART DESKTOP COMMANDER!

Also, how in hell did I even remember that after all these years…

multi-blockchain ‘virtual town hall of engagement opportunities’

Wow, this single phrase managed to make me puke a bit inside my mouth three times - might be a new record…

“Those of us in Web3 gaming are well aware that things aren’t working, but few seem to want to buck the status quo trend because the road less traveled isn’t for the feint at heart; it’s for pioneers and those who dare to defy,” Smart concludes. “And so, here I am, once again at the cusp of one of my greatest challenges, and what I believe to be my last hoorah, if you will.”

Derek smart, humble as always…

I much prefer the term “acting your wage”. I’m not doing the bare minimum - I’m doing what I’m paid for. You want me to do more? Guess what, there’s one way to motivate me to do so…

they figured he would “shake things up” and/or change things.

Well, sure, but in this case it’s like getting annoyed at the soup always being too salty at the cafeteria, and switching to cat diarrhea instead… Sure, it does “shake things up” and it may even be less salty, but come on…

They are trying to find the breaking point in fleecing gamers, and I sincerely hope they find it in the most painful (for them) way imaginable.

In reality they probably won’t, because it seems the younger gamer generations enjoy being fleeced, but one can dream…

I mean, it’s Nintendo - if there was a way to somehow automatically charge your card every time you say, hear or think the words “Nintendo”, “Mario” and such, they’d do it without hesitation…

…because if I’m not interested in something, I might change my mind after I see it a bunch more times on the same fucking page - what a brilliant idea! Hell, put the ad in 50 different spots and make me click no less than 7 times to close each one - who knows, maybe that will encourage me to buy whatever shit you’re peddling!

Seems an alternative, easier method was found: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/an-even-better-microsoft-account-bypass-for-windows-11-has-already-been-discovered

Relevant part:

But fret not, as a new, perhaps better bypass has already been discovered that still uses the command prompt (which you can open with Shift + F10) and makes skipping the Microsoft Account sign-in step a total breeze.

Discovered by user @witherornot1337 on X, typing “start ms-cxh:localonly” into the command prompt during the Windows 11 setup experience will allow you to create a local account directly without needing to skip connecting to the internet first.

America has its Gestapo now. How much longer until they create SS that swears fealty not to the US but to Trump?

“Users who in the past would type ‘free online file converter’ into a search engine are vulnerable, as the algorithms used for results now often include paid results, which might be scams.”

Nooo, you mean turning search engines into monetization and ad delivery engines had downsides? Who would have thought!

Fucking greed at the root of another goddamned issue…
