‘Nothing is changing’ — Reddit is denying a report from The Washington Post that it might force users to log in to see content if it can’t reach deals with AI companies::Reddit initially denied a report from The Washington Post that it might force users to log in to see content. However, the Post says it may still block search crawlers, and Reddit didn’t deny to The Verge that it may do so.

The securest way to know reddit will do something is if they claim they will not do something. Spez is constantly lying.
Dude this would kill the only reason I ever visit this site.
people talk about how big AI is but, It’ll crash like everything else as enshittification hits. I tried to use Bing AI the other day for the first time in a few months, it didn’t even let me do more then a handful of entries before locking me out saying I used too many queries in 24h. How is that supposed to be helpful to a consumer as a valid feature of you lock it down.
I get why some limits are necessary, a company doesn’t want a Microsoft Tae repeat…but after Chat GPT was made available to the public, the rapid addition of a whole range of guardrails made it nearly immediately unusable.
You ask it about anything which is controversial in the slightest regard and it shuts down, which for me at least, removes any interest in using it.
Yeah, hasn’t anyone else noticed that there hasn’t been a single profitable product to come out of it? Even copilot is biting the dust already as they try to reduce computing costs. I also haven’t heard of a single person actually paying for chatgpt access either…
I and many of my coworkers pay for ChatGPT. It’s super useful at work and can be used to save a considerable amount of time.
I’m in all the business meetings. “Use Chatham to save time generating analysis” or something like that. I think it has been proven that merely using it as a tool to generate content isn’t profitable- at some level even your paid subscription is subsidized by VC money. The real test is if it provides “valuable” content. But then why does your employer even need you to make the prompts? Don’t worry, I believe LLMs are fundamentally incapable of this and that your job is safe.
It would be pure foolishness to trust Reddit and its management.
In the future, they will be seen by all in a somewhat similar light of failure emitted by Twitter
If this had been what they did to start with, I’d still be there. I was always logged in
