I think this is where tildes.net is being smart with text only, saves massive on server costs and also is safer to run for the owners with less moderation needed due to no chance of any illegal porn being uploaded

In response to the disastrous Spez AMA, /r/Videos have announced that they will permanently shut down on 11th June, one day ahead of the planned blackout

Damage is done, there’s no coming back for reddit. Spez showed his true hand and how he doesn’t care and is willing to lie to us all for the sake of profit.

Opensource for the win

Federated sites for the win

We don’t need a for profit company to provide what reddit provided.

Even if they backtracked, I sorely hope no one believes them and goes back.

It’s not just about the API to me, reddit became toxic and there’s government psy ops all over it using botnets

Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit?

No I don’t mourn it, it became mainstream around 2014 and went downhill from there imv. The front page was full of rage politics and the comments became really toxic. Everyone got drowned out, spreading that audience across multiple sites might be a good thing in the end. End the hive mind

Premium subscribers for ChatGPT now have GPT-4 that can search the web, I find it really good and more accurate than it was previously, I just used it to write a whole load of technical documentation for me on a niche application I use in work. I gave it a template layout I wanted and asked it to write the document, previously it was hallucinating incorrect paragraphs on how to use the the product as it didn’t have up to date data, now it does as it performs a web function.

I don’t like Bing really, the answers are too brief.

To add, I’m in the UK so the feature may be geographical right now. You can see it in a drop down box when you choose GPT-4 towards the top of the screen.
