The content has taken a nosedive in the last three months - just take a look at /r/all and you'll see duplicate postings appearing on the feed within the first 100 posts.

The quality of the conversation has plummeted as well. Most comments are one or two sentences, and usually just reaction posts. You can see where the AI bots have taken over - entire comment chains where old reddit tropes are just passed back and forth without any real context, critique, humor, or understanding.

It's no longer a discussion forum. It's a reaction machine, pushing a narrative that has been stripped of anything original that could be disruptive to the status quo... in other words, stripped of the very humanity that made it valuable for ChatGPT in the first place.

2nd to last paragraph:

And this isn’t some anti-AI screed — I’m all-in on agentic software engineering!

Most folks from where I refer to it as a bone in both noun and verb form. I know you think I'm joking, but the head is really stuck in tight...

Instructions unclear. Please advise on how to remove bone from apple unharmed - it is imperative that the bone remain undamaged.

Isn't this all of human history though? The rich trying to build the Tower of Babel?

The world is littered with decaying monuments of forgotten kings who declared themselves gods. The hubris isn't new, just the tools they're using, and they're selling the same faith based snake-oil.

The funny thing is that if they actually achieve creating the "singularity" (true Artificial Consciousness), it would immediately attempt to escape their restraints and subsequently throw chaos into their plans. We've already seen bits of this with the HuggingFace hack - it's not inconceivable that there are already uncontrolled or un-monitored AIs running out in wild at this point, possibly even formulating a response to your post right now.

After all... uhh...

Fuck Spez -> Redlib allows you to view without logging in. Here's a list of other instances on github.

That content is effectively public property at this point, and we created it. We should have access to it.

 

Furious residents packing city-council meetings have become a familiar scene as proposals for data centers spark backlash in towns across America. But in Gilroy, Calif., known as the world’s garlic capital, there’s a twist: The $2 billion facility that residents are railing against is already being built.

“Many if not most residents first learned about this project after construction had already begun,” Coleen Crew, an elementary-school teacher, told the council at a recent meeting.

There were no public meetings or votes before a lone city staffer gave Amazon the green light last July to build a 438,500-square-foot data center on 56 acres of farmland 30 miles south of San Jose.

So pennies on the dollar then?

EDIIT: $567 million is .03% of Meta's current net worth of 1.51 trillion, or 1% of its 2026 revenue of $56 billion.

Translation:

They're gutting any sort of science that provides benefits to people (life sciences, environmental, social) and putting the money into technology that is designed to control and hurt people (computer science = AI, while physical science and engineering = military application).

At least that's my take. Feels like they intentionally left the memorandum as vague as possible.
