  • Something interesting about this, that I observed from my office desk with the ever-present CNBC broadcast I am forced to endure:

    CNBC is currently platforming a lot of opposing voices to this merger. A big part of the opposition I’ve witnessed them platform is a “THIS WILL KILL THE CINEMA INDUSTRY” narrative. This argument is ridiculous to me, as HBO Max is owned by Warner-Discovery, and if you recall, they pioneered the simultaneous cinema/streaming movie release.

    Additionally, the Activision-Blizzard merger was larger in every way, and yet I cannot find any negative sentiment on behalf of CNBC with regard to that merger.






  • Sure!

    I can’t speak for the original commenter, but many here on Lemmy will type in unconventional ways so that if the instance gets scooped up by bots and used to train AI the data is harmful instead of beneficial.

    I don’t know if it actually has an impact, but it can be fun to participate in data poisoning as an act of subtle resistance.

    I believe the OC might have typed sez not because he is a bot, but rather to sabotage bots down the line. Maybe he just did it to save a letter.
