This list is bananarama. I mean most of them are pretty weirdly subjective, but this one is especially wacky.

Enshittification. Once you learn it, you see it everywhere. It’s depressing.
The Jabra Active models have all been great for running, but they officially discontinued the entire consumer audio line to focus on hearing aids three seconds before Apple announced AirPods are now hearing aids so…
Right. They’re planning to release a new version of the game with microtransactions and likely some crypto who knows what because they were able to snipe the trademark.
Upvoting despite the Xitter link because people need to know about the scummy shit going down with Flappy Bird.
I always thought they were adorable. They did a great job making recognizable vehicles all dinky.
Glad to know I’m not the only old-ass person here who thinks the same thing.
Every time I saw one of those I wanted to put a penny in the back to make it do a wheelie.

I’m not a lawyer but I’m not sure how liable you’d be. People run bots all the time. Plus, this is all about numbers. You can’t sue thousands of people like that.
Ooh, that’s nice. Now change “omnivorous” to “targeted” and things get interesting.
Thanks, friend!
You’re right in general, but I feel like you’re arguing that it doesn’t matter if we say things to the effect of “it doesn’t matter if Kamala slept her way to the top, the Republicans did worse.” That’s a dangerous thing to do, because there is no credible evidence whatsoever that Kamala used sexual favors to advance her station and under the premise of “both things can be true”, you end up allowing for more people to believe a lie.
Welcome to dystopia. Jesus Christ this is bleak shit.
I was just wondering about a general privacy goal of having an LLM bot just flood the zone with random data to try and confound advertising models, simulating clicks and likes/engagement across the spectrum just to wreck any meaningful data correlations.
If you were aiming this concept at two specific targets, i.e., costing the Trump campaign money and screwing with their data, things could get really interesting. Like an open source bot that would coordinate bizarre trends across large cohorts of users to convince the data miners that, for example, a disproportionate number of voters in key regions are demographically or behaviorally skewed.
Oops. Her. I was thinking of a DIFFERENT vile extremist troll. Sigh.
