It's almost refreshing how unashamed they are. I hate it, obviously, but I kind of like it better than companies that say something dressed up in marketing speak but actually mean what this site just says outright.

No, it's a calculated marketing, not them being honest.

All marketing is calculated, some just turns out to be more effective

It's obviously marketing. But their marketing strategy appears to be being unashamed about ripping off content and creating bot farms.

What are you suggesting they are lying about? They're actually doing it for the good of the world and just pretending they're a bot farm for hire?

I don't think they actually believe that "never pay a human again" works as they raised money to pay humans.

It's a great reminder that while room-temperature-IQ AI pumpers like Sam Altman talk about "solving physics" or whatever, the actual value of large language models is generating spam marginally cheaper than Filipinos.

Controversy is currency. Businesses literally try to track and optimise virality these days as part of their marketing.

Not just businesses. It's governments, too.

There's a public park near me that is tracked for likes and social media engagement. If it misses the city's goals for social media engagement a certain number of months in a row, it can be turned back into a parking lot.

I objected to this measure of "success" during the public meetings about it, but nobody cares about the old man in the back of the room.
