Just switch to old.reddit.com
Oh, I am extremely aware. The problem is that many links (i.e. from Google) do not go there, most people won't know that's an option, and even if you do it means additional friction. (Yes, putting on a browser plugin to redirect also counts as friction. )
Zero friction.

The problem with marking answers “obsolete” is that many code bases are old. You need those answers.
Obsolete answers shouldn't be removed. They should be de-ranked and marked as such, but still available without extra clicks.
Content marketing is dead. AI has killed it. One of our main marketing channels was writing SEO-oriented articles on our company’s blog. The traffic has steadily decreased over the last year despite huge efforts. That doesn’t mean SEO is dead though.

Disagree. The old way of doing SEO blogspam is dead, and good riddance. Well curated, high quality content written by humans, with information and insights you can’t get from LLMs, will reign. Long live curation.
Where can I find this "high quality content written by humans" exactly? Without paying a subscription fee for it, of course.

Reddit is awful now. Some sub reddits are so anal about following new post guide lines every question I ask is automatically removed. And I've tried really hard to follow the rules. I have given up asking. Also who thought it was a good idea to put a wall of rules text at the top of every thread. It is a pain to scroll past and I'm pretty certain no one except crazy people read them.
You have been banned from /r/NorthKorea ... (One of the more ostentatious examples, but hardly the only one.)
However, running jokes have a tendency to morph into real movements - like flat earth theory and, arguably, Donald Trump.
My search pattern has completely changed. I just go to chatgpt or meta ai directly these days for topics/queries I need help recall or summarization with. This is usually most of the searches. The only reason I use google is for maps based info. I cannot see the use for Webmd and other sites that provide information along specific verticals, anymore. People are going to WebMD and these sites out of habit and that is…
> I cannot see the use for Webmd and other sites that provide information along specific verticals, anymore. You want hallucinated medical information? How is this not entirely absurd. I feel so angry that person who wrote this comment already knew that its absurd but proceeded to make this comment and prbly got upvotes.

> Nor does ChatGPT ban you from the entire network because you answered a Palestine question on the politics sub-section. (Happened to me.) Some Reddit subs (as well as web forums/messageboards) have the same problem. If your views don't align with the majority (or the minority, if they run the sub), you're likely to get banned or lose the ability to post.
I get that for subreddit bans, but I've never had a sitewide ban.

I tried asking ChatGPT if Palestinians deserve human rights, to see if it still gave an answer like the one that went viral. They have fixed the answer, and I was not banned.
I have no idea what the back story is here, but 'they fixed the answer' is not a scalable solution to GPT's limitations.
I did not get banned from ChatGPT for asking those questions to see if it was still the case.
AI is killing my website but in a different way than what's discussed in the article: Content scrapers are completely out of control, spiking my serving costs and degrading performance for human users. There seem to be hundreds of them and they've gotten very good at looking like human users so they're hard to block or throttle. I can't prove they're all AI-related scrapers, but I've been running the site for 25 year…
Blocking AI content bots is the name of the game. Luckily most of the big hitters stick with a unique user agent string and/or IP.
(My site is basically a search engine, which complicates matters because there's effectively an infinite space of URLs. Just one of these rogue bots can scrape millions of pages from tens of thousands of IPs; and I think there are hundreds of the bots at any given moment...)

Sounds like you might have absolutely no idea how to create a prompt for an LLM. Telling it to stop is just creating a spurious prompt, lowering the quality of your interaction for no gain.
So, https://www.wired.com/2010/06/iphone-4-holding-it-wrong/ >? Care to enlighten us heathens?
Karpathy has a new intro series that I think puts one into the correct mindset.
As others have said, it's not AGI yet, so holding it right is, in fact, critical.
