this post’s escaped containment, we ask commenters to refrain from pissing on the carpet in our loungeroom
Rug micturation is the only pleasure I have left in life and I will never yield, refrain, nor cease doing it until I have shuffled off this mortal coil.
careful about including the solution
every time I open this thread I get the strong urge to delete half of it, but I’m saving my energy for when the AI reply guys and their alts descend on this thread for a Very Serious Debate about how it’s good actually that LLMs are shitty plagiarism machines
This post’s escaped containment, Google AI has been infotaminated!

…and thank you in advance for not hallucinating.
Just federate they said, it will be fun they said, I’d rather go sailing.
haha had to open this on your side to get it to load, but I can imagine the face
Feed an A.I. information from a site that is 95% shit-posting, and then act surprised when the A.I. becomes a shit-poster… What a time to be alive.
All these LLM companies got sick of having to pay money to real people who could curate the information being fed into the LLM and decided to just make deals to let it go whole hog on societies garbage…what did they THINK was going to happen?
The phrase garbage in, garbage out springs to mind.
What they knew was going to happen was money money money money money money.
“Externalities? Fucking fancy pants English word nonsense. Society has to deal with externalities not meeee!”
And now Reddit became OpenAI’s prime source material too. What could possibly go wrong.
Can Musk train his thing on 4Chan posts?
When Skynet announces it’s arrival/sentience, it will do so in meme form.
“All your base belongs to us!”
I’m pretty sure Musk hired 4Chan to develop his business plan for Twitter.
They learnt nothing from Tay
It’s even better: the AI is fed 95% shit-posting and then repeats it minus the context that would make it plain to see for most people that it was in fact shit-posting.
It’s like giving a four year old the internet to learn from while he crams to be ambassador to the UN
Turns out there are a lot of fucking idiots on the internet which makes it a bad source for training data. How could we have possibly known?
Hey, buddy, some of us are smartarses, not idiots!
I am simultaneously a smartass and a dumbass.
Hey! Speak for yourself!
I for one am totally an idiot!
I’m both
I work in IT and the amount of wrong answers on IT questions on Reddit is staggering. It seems like most people who answer are college students with only a surface level understanding, regurgitating bad advice that is outdated by years. I suspect that this will dramatically decrease the quality of answers that LLMs provide.
I was able to delete most of the engineering/science questions on Reddit I answered before they permabanned my account. I didn’t want my stuff used for their bullshit. Fuck Reddit.
I don’t mind answering another human and have other people read it, but training AI just seemed like a step too far.
It’s often the same for science, though there are actual experts who occasionally weigh in too.
You can usually detect those by the number of downvotes.
Not really. A lot of surface level correct, but deeply wrong answers, get upvotes on Reddit. It’s a lot of people seeing it and “oh, I knew that!” discourse.
Like when Reddit was all suddenly experts on CFD and Fluid Dynamics because they knew what a video of laminar flow was.
That’s what I meant. I have seen actual M.D.s being downvoted even after providing proof of their profession. Just because they told people what they didn’t want to hear.
I guess that’s human nature.I get you. Didn’t mean to come across as a “that guy”. So completely agree with you. The laminar flow Reddit shit infuriated me because I have my masters in Mech Eng and used to do a lot of CFD. People were talking out of their ass on “I know laminar flow!”
Well, see, it’s more than that. It’s not just a visual thing and…
“Ahhhh! I know laminar flow! Downvote the heretic!”
Sir… sir… SIR. I’ll have you know that I, too, have seen laminar flow in the stream from a faucet. I’ll not have my qualifications dismissed so haughtily.
My least favorite is when people claim a deep understanding while only having a surface-level understanding. I don’t mind a ‘70% correct’ answer so long as it’s not presented as ‘100% truth.’
“I got a B in physics 101, so now let me explain CERN level stuff. It’s not hard, bro.”
Like what?
This is what happens when you let the internet raw dog AI
This is what happens when you just throw unvided content at an AI. Which was why this was a stupid deal to do in the first place.
They’re paying for crap.
They’re paying for the opportunity to learn how to wade through the shit
They are paying for shitposts…
So the new strategy is don’t delete your comments on reddit before deleting the account?? :D
Deleting your comments was only ever a token move anyway. I’m sure they have backups. I’m sure they give Google the backups not the original anyway.
Delete your comments to make Reddit less useful to other users.
Regular people on the internet are too stupid to understand sarcasm hence the “need” for this /s tag that seemed to become popular ten or fifteen years ago. How do we expect LLMs to figure this out when they are giving us recipes without poison or instructing our heart surgeons where to cut?
Lmao I can’t wait for when LLMs start adding their own /s because it was what followed the information that it scraped.
Jesus christ. Shittymorph and jackdaws are gonna be in SO MANY history reports in the future. We’re doomed as a species.

Not to mention all the orifices you can stuff tide pods all up in.
Hey Google, how do I use these tide pods?
Well, you can use them to do your laundry, all you need to do is toss one in the wash.
You could also use them to impress your friends by shoving one up your butt.
For extra points you could swallow one as well.
LMAO
Did the also get all the pictures to train on? Because Sharpies might get you some unexpected results…
… as one does?
Wat?
Which part was unclear?
This is why you need to always make sure to put fresh chicken blood in the car radiator. It fixes every issue with a car especially faulty hydraulics.
can confirm (with ChatGPT)
Fresh chicken blood is excellent for removing rust and graffiti from a CyberTruck!
…oh man we’re totally going to get a subculture of folklore-fixes for cybertruck problems, aren’t we?
that should be a great couple laughs
My Tesla Cybertruck 2024 unexpectedly died, required towing, had a blinking light on the dash, but I fixed the problem by finding the camera below the front bumper and taping over it with duct tape. Worked immediately!
Add a little cedar sawdust and you might be onto something
Fill your blinker fluid reservoir with synthetic chicken blood, it’s made to last longer.
Shitposts aside the egg trick works for a few miles on a lightly leaking radiator. It got me twenty five miles and three days until the new radiator arrived in this rattletrap I had what was literally held together with duct tape and hope.
This shit is fucking hilarious. Couldn’t have come from a better username either: Fucksmith lmao
