A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

SubredditSimulator was a fun experiment by a random user with increasingly improving realism, training ChatGPT on real comments.

It also showed Reddit you can fake engagement and community interaction with bots, which are now astroturfing the fuck out of the site.
