Not sure I believe this post too much. Telling Redditors they're a smart bunch and describing yourself as a wolf and a sociopath make me think they're just a teenage redditor

There's also the part about the boat in the Caribbean.

You are reading reddit 2009 not 2022...

Most of the stuff mentioned on that AMA was before Aaron Swartz was "suicided" and Chairman Pao, and Conde Nast.

Reddit was a different place

Even in 2009 the internet was full of liars.

Not sure if you're trolling or not but

- Aaron died in January of 2013

- Ellen Pao became CEO in 2014

Classic Reddit problem

[codetrotter]

A lot of stories on Reddit have a distinct style even. That makes me wonder if in the future some academics will recognise creative writing following that style as some kind of literary genre of its own, similar to how for example in design there is a particular design style that is recognised as “Bauhaus style” due to its ties to a German art school by the same name, which was operational for a decade in the early 1920s-1930s.

Not sure I can see art critics musing over whether a particular novel's prose was influenced by the structure of 15 year olds fantasising about what it would be like to have a boss and then outsmart them (the 'Antiwork' school of Redditry of the early 21st century) in quite the same way they might suggest architecture or typography is influenced by design principles taught by the Bauhaus school...

Then again, you'll inevitably see Reddit memes and copypastas and prevailing sentiments all over GPT type model outputs in certain niches, simply because it'll be so much of the input
