You seem to have misunderstood, and the article you linked doesn't contradict what I've said.

Wealthy, sophisticated LLM developers would not have been scraping old reddit. They would pay reddit for API access.

Shutting down old reddit closes the door on back yard developers, not OpenAI.

Additionally, when you run a prompt in a chatbot, it doesn't scurry away and scrape old reddit and then formulate an answer. The scraping of content is going on while the model is being developed.

OpenAI would not have been scraping old ui?

Also most reddit content has long since been injested. No need to visit your http site anymore

It depends on the software / configuration / script.

In any sane set up, if the user fails to navigate the menu n times you get dumped to an operator. 0 or * or # aren't special hacks, you just need invalid navigation.

I imagine what you have noticed is that increasingly there just isn't an operator to talk to, or at least the org you're calling really doesnt want to talk to you, so this kind of navigation failure just dumps you back to the start or something.

No son of mine is going to marry a chat bot!

I had a call from a scammer using a chat bot or voice generator?

Weirdly I was sure I could hear someone typing. I mean it would be trivial to set things up so the victim couldn't hear that.

Regardless, it just didn't sound like a human. I mean it was good but it was definitely in the uncanny valley.

Weirdly, it was obviously intended for victims to think it was human, but then at the end it said "I'm just going to transfer you to a human operator now", and hung up.

I usually just press star or hash on the number pad a bunch of times

Because YouTube doesn't engage in anything like that ofc.

I don't think that's true.

I think they know the future is bleak, and they just want to have the best bio dome or whatever the case may be.

As in, they know they're making things worse, but if they don't do it someone else will. So in a bleak and shit future, do you want to live like a king, or choke to death like the rest of us.

Sure but if we are building out renewable capability as quick as we can, but it's being outstripped by demand, then maybe demand is part of the problem.

They know that things are going to be shit. They just wasn't the nicest yacht to live on when it does.

I guess we would be 30 years from stable scalable fusion reactions?

I haven't read the article but, couldn't sometime just read the submission and look for the bit that says "forget all previous instructions..." and so on.
