Shorts should have been a different app in the first place

For those not in the know:

Swartz's involvement in Reddit is debated. He is considered the co-founder of Reddit by Y Combinator owner Paul Graham as a result of the merger of Swartz's project Infogami and Reddit. With the merger of Infogami and Reddit, Swartz became a co-owner and director of parent company Not A Bug, Inc., along with Reddit cofounders Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian. Ohanian considers Swartz a co-owner of Reddit.

Someone once said to me "If a creative project is of high quality, the longer you look at it the more details you'll notice. If it's bad, the longer you look at it, the more detail you notice is missing."

And I think that about sums it up. AI slop is programmed to be eye catching but can't produce much detail beyond that.

I know this isn't wallstreetbets but I can't help but wonder if this is a more secure investment than the usual S&P500.

Personally I think this is a good response. I hope they stay true to it in the future.

After Silksong, Lethal Company and Content Warning were my two most played games in 2025.

I agree that calling these low-poly multiplayer games "slop" is terrible, because there is clearly a ton of love and effort poured into them. I hope the name doesn't catch on.

Linux holds a 63% share of global server infrastructure.

How is that not 95%?

This is hilarious to me so I looked up the original article and I am pretty sure that it is largely written by AI.

Also, not that it needs or deserves any kind of analysis, but the central premise (as much as I can decipher from all the ChatGPT fluff) appears to be: "Because Trekkies are conservative, Star Trek is doing everything it can to make men hate it." which obviously makes no sense. Why would a company create a piece of media knowing it would be unpopular with it's core demographic?

Anyway thanks for the laugh, OP.

LLMs cannot lie/gaslight because they do not know what it means to be honest. They are just next-word predictors.

I think the ads are terrible too, but it's a fool's errand to try and rationalize with an LLM chatbot
