I’m not sure the misogyny is warranted.

The poe2wiki issue is a little different to what is documented, albeit only for the last few months, previously we certainly had visibility issues.

The recent issues relate to site errors due to aggressive crawling of uncached, server-intensive pages (diffs, etc) hidden behind residential proxies. We were being hit sufficiently hard that the server had stability issues and we were penalised by Google.

Tons of ads.

This is great for users, but it’s terrible for the SEO of those independent wikis as you’re telling Google you want to click on Fandom and Fextra links.

/edit

It appears this is no longer the case and the extension does things a lot better than it used to!

Newspapers have been doing this for a long time, notably the Metro in London.

Weird, there are 2 negative articles on the HN front page right now about Perplexity, both from “research” sites that are clearly LLM slop themselves.

John Authers newsletter is also well worth subscribing to on Bloomberg (it’s free).

Now look at what’s happening in the bond markets

The reason Reddit gave for blocking access to non-logged in users is that it's being used for AI scraping.

> Old Reddit’s logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform.

I’d love to see something similar that analyses the writing style, not just the vocabulary. For instance, Claude since 4.8 (I think) loves run on tidily wrapped-up sentences that include “, and”, “, because”, etc. I suspect if you were to analyse the same text you’d see that increase substantially as Anthropic rolled out new models as well.

An example, from some workslop I was sent yesterday

"this is the most valuable row we own, because it sets the ceiling on everything we build"

> It's in part due to scrapers and AI.

It has nothing to do with that, scrapers can still scrape new reddit. This is just a hostile action to move visitors to a site that shows more ads.

> Anyone who's a citizen of the UK most certainly has a right to express their opinion on legal immigration, either in favor or against.

Sure, but we don’t have to heed their opinion.

I’m really not happy that you’ve put the idea of Musk fuckbots into my head.

If the handling of the Epstein files in the US is anything to go by, they’d get away scot free.

That didn’t take long.

Hey now, let’s not burst his utopic bubble.

> What will happen once people are priced out of buying computers? I find this worrying.

I’m sure some kind capitalist will be happy to rent them a thin client linked to a computer in the cloud.

Reverting to Opus 4.6 is much better than later models, though that is still full of annoying tics as well.

Cool, so not only do Spotify pay big record labels/artists more than smaller artists (because if I listen exclusively to artist X, my subscription money is paid across all streams globally on the platform, not just the artist I actually listened to) but then it double dips and those artists could be getting fucked over twice.

Wow, streaming is great.

You might want to read some of their quarterly earning reports and research papers their teams submit. Your experience is not commensurate with financial reality.

Axios claims the acquisition doesn’t contain passenger profiles or frequent flyer info but that data would be trivial to replicate given the Responsys data set which would include records of all transactional emails sent.

It’s certainly a step up from the Enron corpus.

It’s on its way out, fiber’s the new thing.

Fiber’s the new fad supplement.

>it does like talking about "seams"

Sounds like it was trained heavily on Opus 4.7.

The problem I’ve been finding is that you can do this but within a few messages, the instructions in the skill will be ignored.

Absolutely infuriating if you’re using Claude in an environment where you can’t run hooks.

As opposed to commenting on Hacker News.

Sure, but if my experience (I know, I know) is anything to go by, it's increasingly difficult to get Claude to write in anything other than it's own house style.

Is it possible for them to sound even more AI?

LLMs are infecting us all with Nobelitis.
