The removal of sort by date makes any search result algorithmic and thus can be manipulated to match advertiser or paid boosting. No doubt the team doesn’t want this. It’s just enshittification in motion
Its too late. Marketplaces and storefronts are neck deep in slop and generated content, with information that is so derivative, unhelpful, and constructed with get-rich-and-get-out motivations at every step. This is just another layer of obfuscation and opportunity for hallucinations to manifest themselves into the models.
If the information being consumed is biased because its sponsored content or whatever, then we may as-well just let OpenAI run their own ads platform with responses. At least then they can take some responsibility for it.
They have to introduce human oversight somewhere.
It reminds me of what was ultimately the solution to gold farming in WoW; Blizzard had to start selling it themselves. The system had been gamed, it wasn’t solvable through engineering. Botting is a human problem.
Can we just take a breath and think shit through instead of creating solutions to problems to solutions to problems to solutions?
Neat! I love how fast each entry loads and the way that feels. I’d really like a no AI related post filter (exhausted by the topic), if thats even possible + move the next button to center right. So I can flick with ease, with one (small) hand.
Low quality scambait is against our terms of service and we are taking steps to protect our users from the risks introduced by searching for the calendar app.
Oh so now you think because it consumes some resource it's gambling? Would you say farming is gambling because it consumes water and time and you won't know what the result will be?
It’s so cool that we’re all actively participating in the handover of all our work to these massive companies so we can be forever reliant on their blackbox subscriptions. Don’t fret; there will be a day where those profit numbers will have to go up and they will consciously make the product worse, just to trigger more queries, and thus extract more money from you. Gross.
