Is this new to post-blackout reddit is or has it been this way for a while. Top post of r/all is a tweet from like 2 years ago about a "current event" that no one has talked about since then and 100% of the comments are talking about this like this topic is the focus of today's or any recent time's 24 hour news cycle. Nearly 30K upvotes. 100 comments. Feels like ai/bot cosplaying what an actual hot reddit post would be like but in a world without people.

I've definitely seen this exact tweet long before 2023.

It's bots all the way down.

Are we bots?

Beep boop

Fuck, I mean no

Correct! The flower would also have been acceptable.

I kid, but i do wonder whether bots will use discussions about bots to seed their bot conversations. Can a large language model have an existential crisis?

But this article is from 2021, along with all the other ones I found about the vaccine causing "shaking".
