No. It's one of the things I like, that makes Lemmy different from Reddit. Why create a Reddit clone?

Yep, that's an option.
That'll work. Thank you!
The results are immediately visible in performance. Thank you @sunaurus!
If I read that article correctly, that was up to $10 to book use of the nearest bathroom?? I'm sorry, when nature calls, I can't see people trying to reserve a time slot, like you would a hair salon.
Very well said!
I agree. That said, I'd like to see Amazon make Prime Video ad free for those already paying $140/yr for Prime. To me that would make the Prime membership extremely attractive for customers. But it doesn't look like Amazon really gives a shit about that. This is about maximizing revenue and profit. Full stop.
Associated Press Article by HALELUYA HADERO AND DAVID BAUDER Updated 2:35 PM PST, December 27, 2023
"The New York Times is striking back against the threat that artificial intelligence poses to the news industry, filing a federal lawsuit Wednesday against OpenAI and Microsoft seeking to end the practice of using its stories to train chatbots.
The Times says the companies are threatening its livelihood by effectively stealing billions of dollars worth of work by its journalists, in some cases spitting out Times’ material verbatim to people who seek answers from generative artificial intelligence like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The newspaper’s lawsuit was filed in federal court in Manhattan and follows what appears to be a breakdown in talks between the newspaper and the two companies, which began in April.
The media has already been pummeled by a migration of readers to online platforms. While many publications — most notably the Times — have successfully carved out a digital space, the rapid development of AI threatens to significantly upend the publishing industry.
Web traffic is an important component of the paper’s advertising revenue and helps drive subscriptions to its online site. But the outputs from AI chatbots divert that traffic away from the paper and other copyright holders, the Times says, making it less likely that users will visit the original source for the information."
SMH. I haven't seen this email yet, so I will keep an eye open for it. Seems with Amazon it was FOMO, trying to stay lock step with Netflix, Disney+ etc.
I’m Gen X, and I recall similar complaints about us from the Silent and Boomer generation employees as we were coming up. So, it just seems like more of the same, with the added benefit of more awareness of what's happening.
