I read somewhere that rif came back using webscraping instead of the API. In return you can’t (currently) comment.

Not 100% sure how true that is though.

I just typod the link on my phone, my bad. Should be fixed now.

There’s a user over on lemmy.fhmy.ml who made a lot of “Imaginary x” communities and is posting to them regularly. You should probably go and hit them up, they do seem very eager.

Do we have a AI with a theory of mind or just a AI that answers the questions in the test correctly?

Now whether or not there is a difference between those two things is more of a philosophical debate. But assuming there is a difference, I would argue it’s the latter. It has likely seen many similar examples during training (the prompts are in the article you linked, it’s not unlikely to have similar texts in a web-scraped training set) and even if not, it’s not that difficult to extrapolate those answers from the many texts it must’ve read where a character was surprised at an item missing that that character didn’t see being stolen.

I mean ChatGPT was already very easily influenced by just stating a username of a heavy user of r/counting.

It’s been patched out by now, but it was very funny.

I found it interesting that after such a depressing bullet-point summary of their meeting, the last paragraph was still mixed and not more negative. I wonder if they actively try to stay on Reddit’s good side to not end up in Reddit’s crosshairs or if that’s truly how they feel.

When moving to another mail provider, I can forward mails going to the old address to the new one.

You’re assuming that the reason for the move is not the old mail provider shutting down. If the old provider shuts down and you cannot somehow get their domain name, all mails sent to your old address will just vanish in the void (or even worse, be gobbled up by whoever owns the domain now, better hope there’s no personal info in there that you wouldn’t want in their hands).

The difference between “pure infrastructure costs” and total costs of third party apps are the opportunity cost in ads and other potential money making schemes (NFT avatars etc.) that they cannot shove down people’s throats on third party apps.

They even specifically admitted to this in one of the calls with the Apollo dev so it’s not just conjecture on my part.

Me [Apollo Dev]: “Because I assume the majority of it isn’t server costs. I assume the majority is the opportunity cost per user.”
Reddit: “Exactly.”

Edit: Of course that doesn’t mean that Reddit’s decision is a good thing. They’ll have even more opportunity cost if many of their power users just leave, which seems to be the logical result to their actions.

I think what will happen is that a lot of the subs are eventually going to end up in the hands of the few mods who love sucking up to the admins and the mods who are in it for the dopamine they gain power-tripping instead of the mods who are in it to make the subreddit the best version of itself.

This will only further the “5 Mods Control 92 Of The Top 500 Subs” issue and lead to overall less happy, less engaged users.
