Lobsters made some changes last night that lean towards protecting pro-LLM voices and make it harder to filter out slop. Literally all of my comments related to AI are flagged as trolling and when I look at my threads the site tells me I should "take a break" or consider deleting my account. It's such a weird site because the discourse is often better than HN but their rules are so esoteric I don't really know what the site is for anymore.

The winners seem to be the people who argue that opposition to LLMs is "anti intellectual" (direct quote from a user). Because it's so intellectual to have a bot do your work for you!

Holy shit they deleted my comment about Linus Torvalds because it was "unkind"! Fuck this place
