    No, but yes.

    Everything Reddit does these days is for the sake of the shareholders, advertisers, and Spez’s whims. They’re not intentionally trying to destroy Reddit the website as much as they’re trying to turn it into algorithmic social media slop that promotes doomscrolling and advertising revenue over community and genuine human interaction.

    Throw in a sprinkle of Spez aspiring to be Elon Musk’s left shoe, and you have absurd censorship designed to drive away dissenters and users who don’t conform with Reddit’s target audience.

    You’ll never believe it, but I just invented a new type of AI a few seconds after reading your comment.

    I call it OSIRGT: One-Shot Immediate Regurgitation Generative Transformer.

    It starts out as an empty model of variable-count weights ranging from 0 to 255 between a linear sequence of parameters. Whenever you feed it training data, it uses the incoming stream of bytes to adjust the weight at position n to log2(2^k) * n^0 where k is the incoming byte. After a weight is updated, n is increased by 1 and the process repeats until all training data is consumed. To use the model, provide a finite stream of zeroes and it transforms the 0 into another number based on the weight between the current parameter and the next one.

    You may be asking yourself, “isn’t that just an obtuse way to create a perfect copy of something?”

    And to that, my good human, I say: shut up and use this open-source model training program with a built-in BitTorrent client.
