I want it, and I want it in a browser that isn't controlled by Google.

Instead you're posting to the Fediverse, which is even more open for use by third parties.

You think Microsoft is the only organization capable of producing these tools? They weren't even the first.

I don't see anything in the article related to elections.

Why are you applying for jobs that you're not qualified for? Even if you BS your way through the interviews you'll have to actually do the work.

I am baffled that you appear to be attacking Microsoft over this. They're doing research to counter bad actors here.

Fortunately there are a lot of open source models these days too.

Fortunately they may not really be able to. Reddit's comments and submissions are available here, and since this includes deleted content as well as the stuff that users have later edited away with scripts it may even be a better resource than what Reddit is offering itself. You'd need to train your AI in a legally permissive environment, of course, but there's places like that around the world and this is actually something that would advantage the "little guys" since they aren't as easy to target.

I'm kind of puzzled by this mindset. You were pleased with supporting and helping people before, but now supporting and helping is bad?

There are archives of all Reddit comments that are collected at the time of posting, all the deletion and scrubbing and whatnot people are doing months or years after the fact doesn't affect those.

It wasn't "worst" in terms of how much time it wasted, but the worst in terms of how tricky it was to figure out. I submitted a change list that worked on my machine as well as 90% of the build farm and most other dev and QA machines, but threw a baffling linker error on the remaining 10%. It turned out that the change worked fine on any machine that used to have a particular old version of Visual Studio installed on it, even though we no longer used that version and had phased it out for a newer one. The code I had written depended on a library that was no longer in current VS installs but got left behind when uninstalling the old one. So only very new computers were hitting that, mostly belonging to newer hires who were least equipped to figure out what was going on.
