They’ll probably mix it up, and randomize the results of different categories… I guess?

But the last thing AI search needs is spam.

Wait until they put ads into the AI search results.

I feel like all the niches I visit Reddit for are being enshittified.

Small ones are floundering, apparently due to being deprioritized by the engagement algorithms according to mods I’ve talked to? And even worse, a lot of discussion is moving to Discords and X.

Big ones are getting more karma farm style posts. I know people have always complained about this, but its never felt this bad in fandoms for shows and such.

This does benefit him if it gets him votes. He wants voters to like him, and he’d absolutely build this crazy pipe and slap his name on it if he could.

But like you said, he’d drop it like a rock if it’s inconvenient.

Unlike other politicians, Trump accepted there’s no real consequence for making fantasies up and almost lying, just like he did in business.

“Is he saying this because he thinks it benefits him to say it, or because he thinks it benefits him to do it?”

And anyone who’s on the fence about Trump is not thinking critically like this, they are looking at a few things he’s saying and pondering if its a good thing and benefits them.

And again, fact-based news journalism does not have the luxury of assuming “Here’s what we think he’s saying, and we think he’s making that up because it benefits him, so it’s probably nonsense.”

It’s not totally incoherent though, its vague and almost poetic.

This is kind of Trump’s talent. He makes these grand statements that aren’t quite lies. The crowd gets exactly what he’s trying to say: all this water pouring out of snowy mountains into the ocean is a “waste” when it could just be diverted to LA, so let’s fix that. It’s worded almost like a dream. It’s an attractive fantasy. But it’s also vague, not quite enough to be a lie even if the implied facts are straight up wrong.

What can the news do? If they dig into it, he didn’t really make any hard claims to roast. They can veer into opinion talk and say that sounds unpresedential and that his speech should be more clear, but making fun of his speech style at a rally is not supposed to be their job. So they do what they can, guess what he’s saying and refute that.

Again, this was his talent before he got into politics. The Motley Fool did this great podcast on Trump (before Trump was big and political) where he sold massively overvalued real-estate from his private company to his public one, effectively “duping” the market, and it worked because he sold it as a vague fantasy just like this. He got plenty of criticism and it didn’t matter, because he threaded the needle and what he’s claiming is not hard enough to stick. This is what he does.

The difference is he could be the next president and try to turn whatever he’s thinking into national policy, so it’s worthwhile to try and dissect what he’s saying.

But those experts are also (somehow, still) not really accustomed to Trump’s bombastic language. He was like this long before he got into national politics, hyping real estate and business for the market (where it kind of worked). That’s a totally different world, where half lies and crazy sales talk are the norm.

I love this petty fatalism, like more immigrants voting is the apocalypse and the Republic Party can’t possibly just… accommodate that? And adapt?

Same with a 51st state.

If they don’t like it, well, they can lose more elections.

I think this is your phone doing you a favor, dynamically restricting the apps so they don’t misbehave in the background.

I hate turn based combat too, but it was super enjoyable in coop. And it’s quite good for being turn based.

It’s also real-time outside of combat, FYI.

For solo, I’d probably get the mod that automates your companions, and reduce the difficulty to your taste to compensate.

It should be the first, no question.

I’m sorry, but Democratic leadership, the Washington Post, and the New York Times are not “right wing.” The last Republican presidental candidate thje NYT endorsed was Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956.

They’re right wing to you and Lemmy, but Lemmy is not the center of America’s political compass. And I’m speaking as a rabid DJT hater who votes straight ticket Democrat, bar one primary I registered republican in just so I could vote against DJT.

It says center and center-right outlets have a left bias

Which outlets, specifically?

Still an understatement, it deserves it and more.

I don’t even like turned based games. I don’t like most high fantasy. But holy moly, what a ride BG3 is.

I’m just gonna be pissed of their mixed support of modding (due to wotc) kills the modding community. If Skyrim and Rimworld can have a whole universe of fan content, BG3 should too.

She endorsed Biden before. It wasn’t really a surprise.

Is this why everyone is downvoting the fact checker? Because they don’t like it saying their preferred outlets have a bias?

The Guardian does have a left bias, its pretty obvious. That’s not a bad thing.

That actually is weird.

I don’t think that could be done at a scale that matters, because it doesn’t make you any money.

TBH the bigger threat is the corporate bots that already post in “human” subs. They’re destroying the site already, but Reddit doesn’t really care about that either, lol.

Does the internet archive scrape Reddit? Or have they?

Nothing, because that doesn’t cost Reddit short term money so they don’t care?

LLMs are like improv machines. You give them a prompt, and they steamroll through it, no matter what.

There is literally no going back and changing it. It improvs as it goes
