Imagine being proud of this, like being proud of peeing in someone’s pool.
And that pretty well sums it up.
Nah. More like full blown diarrhea in a packed pool full of already leaking man childs. This will become a shit pool with a little bit of water in it really quick.
Reddit is dead.
What is perhaps most disheartening is that the people creating tools like Astral genuinely seem to believe AI and humans are interchangeable, and that machine will be far better than human can ever be.
This is absolutely true though.
If your only goal is to market bullshit to strangers, humans are vastly inferior to a program that generates a sentence with three positive adjectives and the product name.
I skimmed the Reddit terms of service and I didn’t see anything about bots or damages to Reddit, but if Reddit does ban bots like this then can’t they sue an American company whose publicly announced business model involves breaching a contract? Astral isn’t some guy without any money or a foreign organization beyond the reach of American law…
(Could Astral be criminally liable due to the extremely broad definition of hacking in US law?)
I just assumed they welcomed it with open arms in exchange for promises of money
But this company is not paying Reddit for this, it seems like a way to avoid paying for ads
Reminds me of the season 1 reveal in The Expanse.
