Just here for good conversation with good people.
It’s not the NYT blocking you directly. They use a third party tool for detecting bots. It’s possible your IP address isn’t just used by you, but it’s also possible your device has a set of fingerprints that is setting off detections. Without knowing your IP address I can’t tell you more.
Fair enough 🙂
I love that. It makes me want to take it a step further and just call it “imitation intelligence.”
You’re absolutely right.
Claude’s month as a shopkeeper offers a preview of our AI-augmented future that’s simultaneously promising and deeply weird.
Did the author have a stroke by the time they reached the end of writing the article? The mental gymnastics would be funny if it wasn’t terrifying.
Thank you. One of my representatives, Gabe Vasquez, is on the list and I messaged him. Funny that he put out a press release condemning the actions of bombing Iran but doesn’t want to support impeachment. What a turd.
OP, are you OK? I hope you’re ok. It sucks what you’re going through and it is hard. You got this. ❤️
Thank you.
It has to come from the C suite to be “AI”. Otherwise it’s just sparkling ML.
It can be both. Reddit has a history of fabricating conversations. The way they sell advertising implies a certain level of engagement from their user base which can lead to bots pushing products in the form of reviews or by mention.
I think it’s worth noting that Reddit, at one time, did have third party bot protection; however, it only protected their advertising. I can only imagine what the rest of their traffic looks like, but I would not be surprised if they were using bots of their own.
Like you said, they can make some money selling your information but they can also control the narrative how they choose.
Thank you for the reminder. I donated 👍

It’s truly worth the price. DM me your steam handle if you feel comfortable and I’ll gift it to you.
