A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Feels kind of like learning about some unpaid traffic tickets that OJ Simpson has. Shitty thing to do, but it’s not the main reason I hate the guy.

I know what to do here now /s

I mean ya, that's not super surprising. The hardest part of getting a site to take off is adoption.

Exactly. I'm trying to spam content here so people think it's more active. I don't really see a problem with Reddit launching with self generated content, the important thing is the user experience once it gets going.

Now its just getting sad, lol.

Edit: nvm I thought this was about today's reddit. Its about early reddit.

i wonder if all this big social platform will not end with lots of fake profile feeded with chatgpt. For your information, I'm NOT a chatgpt comment 😜

wow the LLMs can use emojis now

I get your concern! With AI tech getting better, there could be more fake profiles run by chatbots like ChatGPT. But platforms are fighting back with verification processes and content moderation. It's not all bots out there, so stay skeptical but trust they're working on it!

mmm... that's exactly what chatGPT would say...

That wont fix activity though

That's also how they established the norms of the site. The founders wanted a particular kind of community so they made fake accounts post and vote in ways that reflected that desire. Posts with grammatically sound English were upvoted, text speak was downvoted.

oh that's just what I did for Lemmy, and it worked!
