So pretty much any comment you ever see could be or is certainly a bot no matter how genuine it sounds.

I see. Reddit trains its users to behave uniformly. Feeds these users to its AI. Then rules the internet with an army of bots. It all makes sense now. Its name. Its logo. Wow.

The posts on that subreddit use the GPT-2 language model which uses 1.5 billion language learning parameters. There is a more recent one called GPT-3 which uses 175 billion language learning parameters.

To quote wikipedia:

The quality of the text generated by GPT-3 is so high that it is difficult to distinguish from that written by a human, which has both benefits and risks. Thirty-one OpenAI researchers and engineers presented the original May 28, 2020 paper introducing GPT-3. In their paper, they warned of GPT-3's potential dangers and called for research to mitigate risk.

Let that sink in.

Oh, and Microsoft has an exclusive license to use it. Because of course they do.

i tried to a crosspost on r/conspiracy and got the below reply from a mod.

FYI the domain you linked is on a site wide hard filter run by the reddit admins.

As moderators, if we try to approve the comment it is simply returned to the spam filter time and time again.

reddit shadowbans saidit

Does saidit post on reddit? What does that even mean?

I'm not sure why anyone would even pay attention to anything that happens on reddit, because the nature of that site has been known for years. No legitimate person has been on reddit after the events of 2015.

It means if someone on reddit posts a link from saidit, like a thread on here to discus it the comment is automatically hidden on reddit so no one can see it.

Ahh. Makes sense. reddit has been like that for awhile.

Btw, just got 7 more pounds of green coffee beans from Happy Mug a few minutes ago!

The local roaster went mask and burn loot murder woke last year. "Screw them" Plus it's cheap and fun to roast your own.

[–]NeedMoreCoffee 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

The smell must be amazing to

[–]Node 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

The actual roasting process does not smell good, and can even generate a lot of smoke if you go dark roast. Then you let the beans degass a day or so in a glass jar and they smell amazing.

There's also a bit of 'husk' that comes off during the process, so I do mine at the edge of the sink. Generally lighter roasts, so not too much smoke.

[–]NeedMoreCoffee 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Light roasts are best imho .

I got reminded today there used to be a sweet shop in my neighborhood that would take roasted beans and cover them in a thick coat of dark chocolate. It was deliscious

Chairman Pao?

... Right in the kisser. It was the summer of 2015 that it all started going down.

[–]Optimus85 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

And it's been mindless echo chambers ever since. When a social platform gets mentioned on a stupid sitcom you can bet your ass it's been compromised.

There were some good niche subs, like r/coffee, r/roasting, and some others, but they gradually became filled with the kind of people who use reddit.

There is a /r/saidit subreddit on Reddit but AHS are trying to have it banned, claiming that the moderator isn't active.

[–]goatmeal 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (17 children)

I talked about this before but got pushback. communities like ours are extremely vulnerable to convincing botting and one of the only lines of defense is having a captcha to post. soon you won't be at liberty to complain about the annoyance of filling them out. there are other options for keeping the bots out of the house but they all require drastic changes. our doors can't stay open the way they are now.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (16 children)

Bots can solve CAPTCHAs.

One word: antitrust.

I can't afford a lawyer but for sure this is anti-competitive behaviour worthy of a cartel or oligopoly.

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Big tech is a cartel.
