  • ohh, wanted to start GEO on reddit, is this a good news?

  • Hard to see this as anything but a good thing, Reddit is such a cesspool.

  • It’s also just unreliable; people complain about Wikipedia being user edited but Reddit is so often just nonsense. It’s what the collective wants to be real, not what’s actually real

  • This is most likely a good thing for both platforms

  • It's still one of the rare places where public discussion is happening. There is simply no alternative.

  • There's a lot of good troubleshooting and tech info on there, though. I've run into multiple tech issues over the years that aren't documented in bug reports, change logs, etc., but some random person on Reddit will have a post where they investigated the cause and found a solution.

  • I don't know why this matters at all. "Citations" are just RAG ex post facto bullshit excuses. They're not real citations for what the LLM ingested, and they are not associated with any particular chain of tokens they can output.

    If LLMs have ingested Reddit then they've ingested Reddit. That doesn't need to change. They will continue to be confidently stupid and haplessly helpful, in reverent homage to every Reddit incel inhabiting MOm's basement with a lifetime supply of Snickers and Dr. Pepper.

    They can certainly still ingest and rehash Reddit, without RAGing them and citing links.

    This really is the dumbest timeline. A few decades ago, futurists envisioned semi-autonomous agents on the 'net, like obedient golden retrievers, who would seek out your favorite headlines and articles, and collate them for you to read like a customized morning paper. Instead we now have clickbait farms, idiot forums controlled by the GNAA, and the lamestream media continuing their ridiculous nightly distractions from reality.
