‘Nothing is changing’ — Reddit is denying a report from The Washington Post that it might force users to log in to see content if it can’t reach deals with AI companies::Reddit initially denied a report from The Washington Post that it might force users to log in to see content. However, the Post says it may still block search crawlers, and Reddit didn’t deny to The Verge that it may do so.

people talk about how big AI is but, It'll crash like everything else as enshittification hits. I tried to use Bing AI the other day for the first time in a few months, it didn't even let me do more then a handful of entries before locking me out saying I used too many queries in 24h. How is that supposed to be helpful to a consumer as a valid feature of you lock it down.

Yeah, hasn't anyone else noticed that there hasn't been a single profitable product to come out of it? Even copilot is biting the dust already as they try to reduce computing costs. I also haven't heard of a single person actually paying for chatgpt access either...

I and many of my coworkers pay for ChatGPT. It’s super useful at work and can be used to save a considerable amount of time.

I'm in all the business meetings. "Use Chatham to save time generating analysis" or something like that. I think it has been proven that merely using it as a tool to generate content isn't profitable- at some level even your paid subscription is subsidized by VC money. The real test is if it provides "valuable" content. But then why does your employer even need you to make the prompts? Don't worry, I believe LLMs are fundamentally incapable of this and that your job is safe.
