You can lead a horse to water.

The point of Spez's plan is to make it so you would need an account for that, though.

Reddit is still one of the biggest social media sites on the internet. News about it is important to a lot of people. You're demanding that everyone else conform to your preferences.

It's funny, way back in the mists of history Reddit's original plan was very similar to the Fediverse's. They opened the source for their servers and had plans for how it could interoperate with other independent "reddits".

Just having them be comparable is great, I've been very appreciative of China for keeping open weights cutting edge but monopolies are never good in the long run. Bring on the competition.

A bunch of their data centers just inexplicably exploded and burned down so whatever prominence they might have had until now is probably going to fade a bit more.

Yeah, the standards for all that are still new and shifting so I usually just leave it up to the AI itself to figure out how it wants to organize the data. It's the one that knows where its harness tells it to find stuff, after all.

Somewhere in the NSA someone is going "damnit! They found that one too!?"

And now everything will go back to normal and people in China will stop using AI.

Right?

Well, "people" and "humans" aren't the same thing. One's a subset of the other.

Problem with getting too philosophical here is that someday soon the bots might also count as a subset. Then things get really complicated.

I imagine my first task for the agent will be to tell it to compile a skill file from all the documentation I'm able to direct it to. I was just hoping that maybe someone had already done that to give it a leg up.

Phishing attempts that got far enough to actually show up in our internal corporate inboxes like that aren't common, though. They're normally blocked by the layers of firewalls and whatnot. We almost never saw email on those accounts from outside the organization itself, period.

And once you've run something capable of remote execution on a machine that's inside the local network, with the sort of privileges that his machine had (he wasn't just a bureaucratic sort of manager, he was writing code too), you don't want to mess around.
