Hey @k00b I would like to present a formal complaint against the use of CHADBot by cascadr. I want to see where is the contract I signed and agreed, where this bot is allowed to use all my SN posts for data grab and use it without my consent.
Officially I want to be excluded from this bot.

Hey @benwehrman. FYI. I looped you into a nostr conversation with Dr. Jeff Ross regarding him potentially coming on SN for an AMA mid-Sept or later.
reply
Saw that! Just connected with him online to lock in a time
Appreciate the help man, keep 'em coming!
reply
Yes, saw your note. Awesome. Let's see who else I can round up.
reply
@siggy47 James is coming on Friday. Props to to Ben for taking the baton and running the final leg. I am super excited.
reply
Honestly, it can't be overstated, IMO, how important is for SN long term to get these high quality AMA subjects. This is excellent.
reply
You get the added benefit of the subject invariably promoting SN to their audience.
This is an important marketing strategy for SN.
I also like the idea of reposting content from nostr, twitter, substack etc and contacting the author and saying "I reposted this on Stacker News, I has earned x amount of sats. I am happy to send them to you."
reply
88 sats \ 1 reply \ @siggy47 19 Aug
That's a great idea. You may soon create and earn the position of SN marketing director.
reply
Ben is going to be the SN Marketing guru. He is already doing a great job ramping up the social media efforts, which is something I have been harping on for awhile. I am just trying to pitch in where I can and hopefully lob some leads. k00b knows if he ever needs my help business wise it is available to him free of charge.
reply
100%. If you ever see potentials, throw out fliers to gauge interest, and pass them onto me! Looking to PACK this AMA schedule over the coming weeks/months 🔥
reply
Are there any betting markets built on Lightning?
reply
None that I've been able to use. Someone was promoting one (I forget what it was, though), but I wasn't able to use it.
@grayruby, what was the LN betting market that we couldn't figure out how to use?
reply
I am so pleased you have given me this opportunity to actually make use of something I have bookmarked.
reply
Seems cool. They only have sports by now? And only with login?
reply
I was able to use alby browser extension to login but it did not register on the site. When I tried to place a bet it just asked me to login again.
reply
I just withdrew one megasat from Stacker News, with zero fees. Lightning is crazy!
reply
I think you sent it to the wrong wallet. I did not get it. Haha.
reply
You'll just have to withdraw your own megasat, I guess.
reply
49ers and Raiders Friday! Game of the year. Well, preseason game of the year.
reply
We'll settle once and for all whose sloppy backups and practice squad are better.
reply
I don't know what the hell Shanahan was doing letting Purdy play with 1 starting lineman, a 4th string running back, 3rd and 4th string tight ends and none of the 49ers top 5 receivers against the Saints starting D. What value did he and the team derive from having him get hit 3 times, pressured 8 and having 2 miscommunications where receivers ran the wrong way?
It's funny because after the game I saw someone post Purdy's stat line and the guys that played with him and they said something to the effect that "Shanahan wanted to remind Purdy what it's like to not play with all pros when he comes asking for 40M a year".
Honestly, there is a non zero chance that is true.
reply
That doesn't seem as fun.

Perhaps the greatness of art lies in the perpetual tension between beauty and pain, the love of men and the madness of creation, unbearable solitude and the exhausting crowd, rejection and consent… On the ridge where the great artist moves forward, every step is an adventure, an extreme risk. In that risk, however, and only there, lies the freedom of art.
–Albert Camus
Once upon a time, the kingdom of man and nature coexisted in perfect harmony. But over time, the bond broke into a dark chasm, from whose ridge, the great artists moved between the sun and man. Their mantra is to risk everything to free humankind from the bonds of ignorance. Then maybe the kingdom will rise again as a blessing to a broken world; a world filled with lies, deceit, and corruption; a world that longs to see the light again.

Before the WWW was mainstream, it was hard to get information/content. It was mainly distributed by massive corporations, and it was the same for everyone. The digital world was out of reach for most.
Once the web 1.0 was everywhere, information/content was available to everyone for free. We had Read access to the digital world.
With the web 2.0, everyone was able to be a generator of content. We all gained Write access to the digital world.
Now we are living a new change, in which we have given Write access to the digital world to machines.
I have heard people saying things like "This AI tool generates a complete 50 pages report about anything you ask, you simply write one sentence and it creates the entire thing." Then people asked who was going to read it, and of course the response was no one. They would just run an AI to summarize it into one sentence. These were all people in business, and they were very happy with the tool. I guess they just want to seem to be doing something.
But my point is... if all this new digital world is basically filled with AI garbage, where will humans connect?
We now have news generated by AI, dating profiles of bots, complete websites and books generated by AI, etc.
All of that is not for human consumption.
Are we humans going to live on small islands like SN and others?, or what do you think will be a transition after most people realize that the AI content is not what they are looking for.
I guess the Dead Internet Theory fits here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaVjQFMg7L0

Complaints Procedure

To complain seems a legitimate action when something is either unsatisfactory or unacceptable; after all if you accepted a good or service you have certain expectations or standards which are accepted to you.
However to complain is one thing, but to accept another’s procedure to resolve such complaint is the trap.
Almost all corporations offer a “complaints procedure” department, however this is not done to assist you with your complaint, but to take control of the process and therefore determine the end result.
You have lost control of the situation, and as a result you will not be satisfied with the outcome.
