Totally agree!

Great post. Thank you for this insight!

And he was right!

Whenever I see these articles, I feel like it’s part of OpenAI’s marketing strategy to use the fear-based media to pump up the sense of how revolutionary their tech is

Yep, I think that’s what’s going on too.

Enjoy the attention others give you!

Well, I mean, I did post a disclaimer right after posting the original article in question, in an effort to deflect this “attention.” Um, didn’t seem to work in that thread in the original community. :/

And I posted here for a technical answer since my posting history shows nothing every posted to the instance (which I’d never even heard of until today) that banned me.

But thanks for your input. I may not agree with it, but I support your right to it.

Yeah I read the thread and saw how you left out the context with the screenshots proving you got permabanned from an entire instance for being “toxic”. The fake sounding comments in your history don’t convince me that’s wrong either.

I posted the link to the thread though. I didn’t leave out the context, because all the links are in that, and you can go up the thread tree as far as you want. I linked to the part where he posted the screenshot.

Also, there’s no instance in my entire posting history of ever interacting with that community. So I was curious how I could be banned from a place I’ve never posted to.

Do you have any info about what I supposedly posted that got me banned? The only two instances I’ve posted to are here on .world and a few times on .ml, and I’m not banned from either of those.

or says thank you after every interaction…

lol yeah, because I say thank you, I’m obviously fake. Ok…

But wait, I am talking to you right now. Or am I faking that too? Um…

Why did you draw attention to all of this here?

Because I had a question about what it meant. And I didn’t understand what the user was meaning and I have never even been to the instance that banned me. And I’ve received some helpful answers. After I posted, I realized that it was probably better to send to No Stupid Questions, so I crossposted. I def can see how tech people would be annoyed with my question tho, sorry!

That user just got banned from World News sub and just now had comments removed from the c/politics sub I was talking with I’m in. So now I realize that he’s actually full of shit.

And hey, if you don’t agree, that’s cool too.

Than— oops, sorry! I was just about to say it. Bad habit, I know now!

Ahh, ok, well he has been following me for a while now and my account is only a month old. But another user said it happens often to new users, so maybe it’s just that.

One, weird that he went into that much detail, when even I don’t know how to see that info and never had any idea. And two, weird how he is laughing about the proof, without showing any actual comments that got me permabanned. But meh, as someone else said, the dude is probably full of shit. And I didn’t even know I was permabanned and never heard of that instance. lol

Thank you for replying. You guys rock!

And that’s what’s so weird. I have never even heard of dubvee, or even know how to get there.

Wait, is it possible that the guy who is showing me this “proof” of how “toxic” I am, actually owns an instance, banned me, and then decided to use that for proof?! Because his attitude definitely would fit the profile of someone doing that! And when I asked him what post did it, he declined to show me. Yet was happy to show the screenshot of the ban. Which I didn’t even know I had.

EDIT: No proof of that. Just curious

Stories like this are why I have no hope for the future, at least here in the US.

And you think its way better in other places? Name a place that you think is better off that the US. The entire world is addicted to credit and debt.

Not me tho! My houses paid off, cars are paid off, and I have no debt. So fuck that noize.
