Even worse is when OP on the nine year old thread with the exact same technical problem announces "Solved!" without elaborating

Or it's your own post from 9 years ago.

On the other hand, I stumbled upon one post with the exact same problem, turns out it was me from almost a decade ago and forgot about it. I provided a detailed walkthrough to fix it. Thanks younger me!

It's surreal when this happens. Once I was helping someone at work understand a "tutorial" they found online and it was my own reddit post from years past. So awkward.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago

you have to withhold yourself form mentioning that's your account, they could trace your r/gonewild comments then

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 25 points 5 months ago

Rookie mistake, not having an alt for lewd purposes.

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 10 points 5 months ago

Plot twist: It was their alt account. Hence the "awkward".

"This guy gives great advice and has a massive cock."

"Yes... He does."

The issue starts when you get so deep into lewd tech that your work brings value to corporate tech.

Now delete it so that no AI companies can potentially make a sliver of a penny from it.

[-] Rediphile@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 months ago

I feel the logical conclusion is to just destroy all human created content entirely to avoid being exploited by corporations. But that may not be a reasonable solution.

It would be like an artist refusing to record or perform their music for fear of someone else making money from it or copying the style.

I want a Lemmy instance of only poor quality bots interacting, but NO ONE is allow to say that so it is not filtered by the bot training companies.

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 1 points 5 months ago

How much AI content would a person need to post to be taken as a bot.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Everyone started doing this like a year ago around the time of the mass exodus (or mini exodus maybe) but it wasn’t until these last few months I’ve been searching for some stuff and gets tons of links back to Reddit, and sure enough half of the answers I want are deleted. Which is kind of annoying, but I understand why they did what they did.

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

And the AIs are likely trained on a backup/mirror of those comments. It's already too late..

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yup. Ironically, it only hurts non-AI-users.

[-] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Unfortunately Reddit is still an incredibly useful archive of advice and help, and I care more about helping some poor soul avoid hours of frustration than chipping a spec of dust off of some training dataset.

[-] MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Saw that on stack overflow. Was like, who's this fella with my exact issue. Ah, myself 6 years ago.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

It's a bootstrap paradox. In the future you will go back in time and must leave the original question so you will have something to respond to.

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Same thing. For me it was wifi drivers.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I don't think I've ever thanked my younger self. That guy is a selfish prick.

[-] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I try to leave comments when I figure something out, especially when the thread is a top Google result. It's like leaving one of those little rock piles for others to find.
