  • the last ad break had someone saying (cw violence)

    spoiler

    he was a Kamala supporter until his son was hit by a car and reversed and driven over again by someone in the country illegally

    another one I’ve seen during football is (cw sexual violence)

    spoiler

    I’m not old enough to vote but if I get sexually assaulted Donald Trump’s policies will force me to carry the baby so think of me when you vote

    the local candidate also has a commercial that talks about how she enlisted after 9/11 that uses 9/11 imagery






  • I’m unclear what percentage is bots and what is oblivious people with nothing useful to add but a compulsion to contribute anyway.

    I’m convinced (without evidence) that the bots who have wholesale taken over that aren’t just copying and pasting are LLMs instructed to respond “in the sarcastic tone of a redditor”.

    With bots being the majority, any actual human who enters the conversation either emulates that style to fit in, or to seek the upvotes/approval of everyone else who gets it for responding in that way.

    The LLMs then train off this new, more toxic engagement going forward, creating an Ouroboros-esque race to the bottom
