Enshittification. Once you learn it, you see it everywhere. It’s depressing.
Right. They’re planning to release a new version of the game with microtransactions and likely some crypto who knows what because they were able to snipe the trademark.
Upvoting despite the Xitter link because people need to know about the scummy shit going down with Flappy Bird.
I’m not a lawyer but I’m not sure how liable you’d be. People run bots all the time. Plus, this is all about numbers. You can’t sue thousands of people like that.
Ooh, that’s nice. Now change “omnivorous” to “targeted” and things get interesting.
Thanks, friend!
Welcome to dystopia. Jesus Christ this is bleak shit.
I was just wondering about a general privacy goal of having an LLM bot just flood the zone with random data to try and confound advertising models, simulating clicks and likes/engagement across the spectrum just to wreck any meaningful data correlations.
If you were aiming this concept at two specific targets, i.e., costing the Trump campaign money and screwing with their data, things could get really interesting. Like an open source bot that would coordinate bizarre trends across large cohorts of users to convince the data miners that, for example, a disproportionate number of voters in key regions are demographically or behaviorally skewed.

Look, I think it’s important to state here that while you can often offer prompts to strangers with no ill effect, 7% of strangers are DEATHLY ALLERGIC to prompts. I know it’s fun to give your strangers prompts sometimes, but I urge you all NOT to give prompts to strangers or you run the very real risk of harming them seriously.

Nope, just tipsy.
Downvoted article, upvoted you.
Voting with my… uh, votes.
93/100 is a fraction. This is meaningless.
Edit: to be clear, the HEADLINE is meaningless. The actual cost from the article is £390.
Smashing pumpkins into small piles of putrid debris!
A promise is a promise. I could see backing out if there were extenuating circumstances or some kind of concession to try and mitigate it, but it was just cartoon dollar signs in his eyes and a middle finger to everyone else.
But yeah, I didn’t have time to go into detail but I appreciate you adding the extra nuance to the fact that all signs point to this guy being a toxic piece of shit all around.
I don’t know and I don’t care. Palmer Luckey was the guy who started Oculus, promised it would never sell out, then instantly sold it to Facebook and started a privacy invasion company.
I know, thank you, I just hate the “can you spot the …?” pictures that are low resolution and poorly compressed.
Is it hiding behind one of the pixels?
I would assume step 1 is to call out Cloudflare for abetting criminal activity and if they refuse to stop serving Xitter in Brazil, then they too are crassly flouting Brazilian national law and should be banned from the country as well. It would be a brutal showdown, but one would hope that losing ALL OF BRAZIL might hurt the margins enough to make them reconsider.
