Ewww. I hope my summary includes "Used to visit daily, but hasn't been back in two years ever since you fucked up third party apps."

    Yeah, mine would be the same, with an added bit describing how by the time I left I had gotten trapped in an inescapable cycle of toxic posting and was actually very grateful for the mod wars giving me the lever I needed to get out and stay out. On that note I just wanted to also say how genuinely thankful I am to the multi named beast that is Fedia.io/Mbin/Kbin/Lemmy/PieFed for giving me a much nicer place to exchange thought noodles with others 😁

    Their AI is absolutely dogshit, especially at detecting jokes or shitposts. I caught a 3 day ban on my last account, "advocating violence" for joking about mosquitoes getting cancer on a shitpost sub.

    i suspect thier AI will just ban anyone indiscriminately, to cull the numbers on the site. thier detections are so sensitive, that new users, and old inactive accounts are usually flagged as spams and bots, the moment they comment on a sub.

    "User often posts strings of random words followed by a link to a service they used to turn their post history into gibberish"

    It's super sad how that site continues to degrade in quality.

    Moderation has always been heavy-handed over there, now it'll be lazy and even more discriminatory. I didn't think that was possible, but here we are.

    The not too distant future:

    "Facial recognition confirms this person posts opinions that are partially out of line with source code directives. Approve drone strike?"

    The system is called Lavendar.

    This is a must-read article about it

    It's harrowing as hell, but a damn good article. It's clear to see why it's still amongst 972's most read articles despite being quite a few months old now.

    A side note to anyone else who reads this comment, but 972 are great for coverage of the genocide — they're based within Israel and have both Israeli and Palestinian writers. It leads to some of the best coverage that I've read on the conflict, because they have insight into Israeli politics that few others have. Many of their articles have both English and Hebrew versions, which shows that part of their goal is to challenge the apartheid and genocide from within Israel (a difficult thing to do, given how restrictive Israeli media is)

    This surely won't backfire considering llm's are so great at detecting sarcasm and context-sensitivity.

    Unreliable user profiling is just what mods need… yep.

    Why don’t they sick it on finding bots instead? Oh, right, because that would cost them user numbers and make them look bad…

    What about auto flagging posts that break sub rules for real mods to check? Ah, well, they can’t monetize those outputs can they?

    Could one spam their user page with "wholesome content" to influence this summary?

    I don't see why not? One could possible create a new sub and run a bot/script/pyautogui that uses another LLM to post "wholesome" garbage generated by it. No one to complain about your post since it is your sub.

    Unless they have implemeted some way to weight posts in different subs (private sub worth less etc).

    It's reddit@lemmy.world. The sidebar describes it thusly:

    I don't know what you're doing to format that, but this is what I see:

    So easy to say, but then there's going to be some "smart" people going there believing Reddit is more "intelligent" than Facebook, because the supposedly "intelligent" young people (actually upper-middle class scared of the poor) hate the rest of my country for being "ignorant" and "degenerate".

    The only version of this that would be helpful is identifying accounts that have been sold/hijacked by recognizing radical changes in post/comment behavior.

    That’s certainly not the reason but I wanted to point out that on a non-shitty site there might be a use for those summaries.

    Well, i'm glad i got banned before they implement the social credit score. Fuck reddit.

    So not only do random Redditors stalk your entire profile history to harass you, now the bots are doing it.

    So does ChatpGPT. Put your username in there and ask about it.
