Derek Chauvin would also like a word.

I'm afraid that that information has had to be [redacted]. Choose another path.

Oh, they're being cute with this. You need to pay money to get what reddit is calling "gold" (formerly known as coins), which you can use to give awards with. But one of the old awards you still can't give is the old-style reddit "gold" (premium). So they want ever more money without even giving the minor account boost you used to get, just for some skin for a comment. Fuck those guys.

For years, the site had a standing policy that prevented the use of generative AI in writing or rewording any questions or answers posted. Moderators were allowed and encouraged to use AI-detection software when reviewing posts. Beginning last week, however, the company began a rapid about-face in its public policy towards AI.

I listened to an episode of The Daily on AI, and the stuff they fed into to engines included the entire Internet. They literally ran out of things to feed it. That's why YouTube created their auto-generated subtitles - literally, so that they would have more material to feed into their LLMs. I fully expect reddit to be bought out/merged within the next six months or so. They are desperate for more material to feed the machine. Everything is going to end up going to an LLM somewhere.

Even during the height of the pandemic, a friend of mine found a 'reason' that they had to be in the office one day each week (usually Friday, because almost no one else was there on Fridays). Their reasoning was, "If I can do my job entirely from the comfort of my own living room, there's nothing that would prevent the company from hiring someone to do my job from the comfort of their own living room, in India or the Philippines."

Wasn't there some influencer who went to Afghanistan, saying he'd be safer there than in the West, and they killed him? Maybe they shouldn't have done that ....

They're not "getting revenge" for him leaving California, they've stopped buying cars of dubious quality from an immature, arrogant, and very literal white nationalist.

It’s called “Ulterior Motives” and was made by Christopher Saint Booth and Philip Adrian Booth. It appears in the 1986 adult film Angels of Passion. [...] "two angels are sent back to Earth to provide some sexual satisfaction to the mortal humans".

The news even made it to Christopher Booth, who’s been working as a composer, director, and producer for years, mostly on horror flicks and TV series. “Well today, my mind has officially been blown:) WOW,” he wrote on Instagram.

some kind soul has uploaded a heavily censored, safe-for-work version of Angels of Passion to YouTube.

Link to song.
