Didn't you have to buy an account at Digg? If so, were the bots buying the accounts? And if so, who was buying them?
No you just had to request the account and then one would be provided to you when they open it up. I finally received my account a couple months ago. It was worse than it is here. I was hoping for some good alternatives to Reddit but overall Lemmy is only halfway there digg was only a third of the way there.

Apparently you can get that sequence from an AI bot if you ask it "correctly". But rules for thee and all that.
Its good that you have enough self-control to hand over your keys when you've had too much to drink.

Straight off to jail with you!
For those who don't remember this- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AACS_encryption_key_controversy
I know about it, but didn't recognize the code. So I assumed, they encoded some text to make it harder to read. So I tried decoding it.
Turns out, if you decode this in UTF-16, it turns into a japanese sentence
契ȑ璝寣䇘앖噣삈
Which means (according to DeepL)
The sound of the wind rustling through the trees
And now I'm confused, why.

blaming? shouldnt they have celebrated how much people utilize their beloved slopmachines?
Dude an idiotic thing is one of the biggest sellers for dig was their stupid AI slop notifications that helped tell you what the article was about. I fucking hated that so much.
they are just hoping to datamine JUST like reddit to profit of its user, but worst. a corporate structure like diggs wouldnt eventually want to use AI so they can sell the data to GOOGLE, or other large AI to train on.
