But what % of overall traffic do these bots make up?

I’m sure this is well thought through and factual.
- Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 20 hours ago:
TL;DR
4 layers of stupidification. The (possibly willfully) ignorant user, the source bias, the bias/agenda of the media owner, then shitty AI.
AI should be a backup to human skill and not a replacement for it. It isn’t good enough, and who knows when or if it will ever be at a reasonable cost. The problem with the current state of AI is that it’s being sold as a replacement for many human jobs and knowledge. 30-40 years ago we had to contend with basic human bias and nationalism filtering facts and news before it got to the end user, then we got the mega-media companies owned by the ultra wealthy who consolidated everything and injected yet more bias with the internet and social media but at least you got provided with multiple sources, now we have AI being pushed as a source that can be programmed to use biased sources and/or objectively wrong sources that people don’t even bother checking another source about. AI should be used to find unique solutions to medical research, materials design, etc. Not whether or not microwaving your phone is a good idea.

The republicans took every shitty thing they said they hated about other countries like Russia, China and even North Korea and made those things goals.
- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 2 days ago:
Ok dude. This doesn’t change what I said. Your explanation is irrelevant to people’s understanding prior to that and your pedantry looking to make yourself right. When people talk about a car with a clutch, we overall assume manual transmission. You want pedantry? Next time say “clutch pack” or “clutches”, seeing as traditional automatics don’t have a singular clutch. So you can at least be right in your explanation.

Good luck.

Y’know, I’ve been hearing that drumbeat for well over a decade. News doesn’t sell if it isn’t bad. Eventually the Boys Crying Wolf will be right, but it certainly won’t be because of their prognosticating accuracy. The market has long stopped making sense.
You cannot know what the market will do, and if you can figure it out, it’s already too late. If you want to assume the parent comment will actually lose money because they didn’t put stops in place or whatever, fine. My comment is still correct: If you sell above purchase price + fees and gains taxes, you don’t “lose” money. The rest is just making stuff up.
- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 2 days ago:
It’s unnecessary to be pedantic. We seem to have a pretty common understanding that the clutch in this context commonly implies manual transmission, and the vast majority of people have no idea how an automatic/CVT of any kind works or what the internal parts are.
- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 2 days ago:
Yep. Still have two stick cars. They’re not dead yet.
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 2 days ago:
Hang on… unless it tanks below his/her entry price they aren’t losing anything. Just gains that were missed by the drop in value, but selling at any time before that point will make them money (above any brokerage/trade fees).

They’re not free, you had to pay to access them. The 252 are useless unless you play them and not just a half-dozen titles you like.

- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 6 days ago:
Huh. Must have been regional where I was then.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 6 days ago:
I think the men were called “loadies”, getting loaded (drunk) before going home. Women got the much less forgiving name of being a “barfly.” However, that may have just been regional and/or for that era.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 6 days ago:
I think it’s alcoholism/alcoholic. Just a different translation.

Thank you for posting that.
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 6 days ago:
Yep. The schools I went to had synchronized analog clocks. They would all “adjust” together if they were off at all. Some kind of clockwork solenoid.
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 6 days ago:
This has got to be AI written or cherry picked data. They’re pulling clocks to save a few $ if anything. Old schools used to have synchronized analog systems. I could easily see those things being removed.
