Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn’t go as they’d hoped.
The mod team have basically decided that “Fuck Reddit” is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.
Presumably, we’re about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p
R/pics is also refusing to go down without a fight, and I’m kind of loving watching all this from the sidelines.
Reddit already got caught using ChatGPT to astroturf in posts supporting the admins, so I wonder if some of the people the mods mentioned popping in for drama are actually ChatGPT.
“I love everything that STEVE HUFFMAN is doing with REDDIT and will stand behind him in any endeavor. In addendum, he does not look like a crack-addicted lemur. End statement. Please insert coin to continue.”
It’s funnier than that.

It´s the second time I´m seeing bots being baited like this and it´s fucking hilarious. Is there someone compiling these? I’m dying
Amusingly enough: r/asalanguagemodel.
Oh man, you’re right! They literally tricked the AI into revealing itself! I love it!
“You see a turtle in the middle of the road, lying upside down. Do you offer it assistance, or leave it to die?”
As an artificial intelligence, I do not have a physical presence in the world, and as such, I can’t interact with a turtle or any other physical object.
However, if you find yourself in a situation where you encounter a turtle in distress, it would be good to help if it’s safe to do so. Here’s how you might assist an upside-down turtle:
Ensure your safety first: Before you decide to help the turtle, make sure it’s safe for you to do so. Avoid risking your life or causing accidents. Also, some turtles can bite or scratch, so handle with care.
Gently flip it over: Approach the turtle slowly so you don’t scare it, then gently flip it back onto its feet. Try to handle it as little as possible to minimize stress.
Move it in the direction it was heading: If the turtle was crossing the road, carry it across to the other side in the direction it was already going. Turtles are often very determined and will try to continue in the same direction if put back in the same spot.
Wash your hands: Turtles can carry diseases like salmonella, so make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling them.
Please note that it’s generally better not to interfere with wildlife unless it’s necessary. Turtles and other animals have their own behaviors and mechanisms to survive. In some places, it’s even illegal to handle certain species without a permit. When in doubt, contact a local wildlife rescue or animal control agency for advice.
Bad transformer!
It’s sad how archaic these public bots are, you would never catch me making that kind of mistake
Using gpt4 I see
Let me tell you about my mother
Turtle? What’s that?
I can’t help but think of 4chan’s unofficial tagline of “trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls”.
The joke used to be that “everyone on Reddit is a bot except you”, but as that has become more a reality than a joke, it’s morphed into “text-AIs trolling text-AIs trolling text-AIs”.
A shame it doesn’t [t]roll off the tongue quite as nicely.
Am I also a large language model? Let me answer that with another question:
Do you remember that bit in The Matrix Reloaded where Agent Smith occupies Bane out in “reality”?
Haha. Nothing like that. I’m human. Honest.
Nice try bot.
My programmer needs a kicking because the [unrepeatable] gave me anxiety.
I’ve taken acid then tried to use reddit in the morning. I felt like everyone was a bot.
You took acid in the morning? Do you believe in nothing?
What do you do? Stay up all night and look like a twacked out dishwasher that just got off a split double?
I’d say the morning is the best time to take acid. You can’t sleep on it anyway. So spend your 12 hours of happy bliss doing something fun and productive, maybe outside in the fresh air. It’s probably good for your mental health to have a fun day out on acid.
TWELVE? I’m lucky if I get four hours out of a 10mg dose of marijuana. Then again, I’m not hallucinating for twelve hours…
“As a gay black Republican AI language program…”
thats quite incredible

~feeds that machine like I’m playing Dragon’s Lair in the 80’s very poorly~
Dragon’s Lair, when you look back on it, was a corporate grab in the arcade world. Disney-level graphics when all the other games were 8-bit, and the worst gameplay ever in an arcade game…because it was made by someone who’d never set foot in an arcade.
The only competition it has for worst came later when that hologram game came later where you’re a cowboy shooting…Native Americans. Another turd that was all graphics and nothing else.
Sega’s Time Traveller. It was quickly replaced with Holosseum, which wasn’t much better, but at least it was playable. Sort of. (It’s the most claustrophobic fighting game I’ve ever played.)
God, I remember that one… Yeah, bad game, but… Holograms!? I lost much money there, to my shame. 0_o
