  • At least some of them have to be paid.

    Remember when, in the early days of social media, “average” people were put on display in the MSM saying stuff like: “Privacy is dead. So please do like me and plaster all of your personal data all over the internet. It’s a thing all of the cool kids are doing right now.”
    Who just does that, like from the bottom of their hearts? Come on.


  • I used to think “smaller subs can’t be infested with bots, right?” Then, over time, I noticed a slight, but ever-increasing trickle of mistakes a human would never make, often in seemingly well-thought out and empathetic replies. At closer inspection, they turn out to be just very nicely phrased, mundane truisms, or their facade totally falls apart, revealing weird, bland, pointless nonsense.
    LLMs seem to be doing very well for English and, I keep reading, Chinese, because there is so much material to train them on. Their quality rapidly decreases with the number of speakers a given language has, though. I’ve learned to quickly spot LLM output (or so I tell myself) in my native language, and it’s always so disappointing.

    Years and years before the pandemic, I frequented a popular sort of self-help forum. There was always this one “guy” that had a perfect response for every and any question you threw at him, usually within 30 minutes or so. Always at least one full paragraph. 24/7/365. At one point, I remember seeing that he had given more than a million responses. In hindsight, that’s clearly not human behavior, but at that time, I had no idea what was going on.



  • For real, though. Or they get houses, kids… Both of these things still happen a lot, regardless of what social media is telling you. Then they just kind of submerge, until the kids start leaving the house. And then things will be similar to how they were before, but never really the same again.

    Assuming the psychic is a woman: Based on my red light experiences, this is going to play out very differently than you might think.
    First, she’ll tell you that you are free to get nude during the reading. If you want her to disrobe, you’ll have to shell out quite a bit more money. And then she’ll go topless, and she’ll have saggy, wonky tits.
    And that’s it.
