Am I shadowban

Why reddit why it's 5 years old account. I'm a real human being

Edit:
Guys, I'm not new on Reddit. I have been using it daily n way before the coronavirus. I know I'm 100% shadowbanned for using proton vpn auto routing. I had 400K karma. What the heck.

I even downloaded my data from Reddit and put it under advanced LLM to figure out what caused my account shadowban

- it found that from August my IP address was changing very fast.
- I recently switched to Brave browser, so my browser fingerprinting was also switching from time to time.
- More over i got logged out on Aug 9 by Reddit via email to reset my password (which I ignored). The LLM also pointed this out and stated

This all led to inauthentic behaviour according to Reddit. Conclusion: Never ignore mail from Reddit

Sony told PlayStation players: When you buy games online, you don’t really own them. You only get permission to play them. If Sony bans or closes your account, you can lose the games.

Users plan to stop using PlayStation from August 23 to September 1 as a protest.

Brave caught AliExpress was running hidden audio scripts to fingerprint your device.

install uBlock Origin. add these filters manually:

http://assets.aliexpress-media.com/g/AWSC/uab/*/collina.js

http://assets.aliexpress-media.com/g/AWSC/fireyejs/*/fireyejs.js

Warning: blocking these may cause extra CAPTCHAs or payment issues on AliExpress. use a per-site toggle or a separate browser profile for shopping.

browser choice also matters:

— Firefox blocks WebAudio fingerprinting by default. the AliExpress scripts ran but the fingerprinting data they collected was randomized and useless.

— Brave blocks it by default and also injects random noise so every site sees a different fingerprint. it also already blocks the specific AliExpress scripts (collina.js and fireyejs.js) by name.

— Chrome and Edge: vulnerable by default. no built-in protection.

— Safari: partial protection via Intelligent Tracking Prevention but not specifically for WebAudio.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST EXPLANATION OF WHY AI GOT SO GOOD SO FAST -- people look at 2020 vs 2026 and think someone just threw more GPUs at it

but there were several massive breakthroughs stacked on top of each other

> 2017: the Transformer made modern language models possible

> 2018-2020: everyone focused on scaling models bigger

> 2020-2022: scaling data became just as important

> 2022: RLHF made models much better at actually following instructions

> 2024: reasoning models started getting more time to work through hard problems

> 2024-2025: reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards pushed coding and math much further

> 2025-2026: agents started using tools and running longer tasks on their own

none of these breakthroughs happened in isolation

they compounded

Fudan University-led research using 171 million X posts to create AI-driven simulations of a million American voters, inferring age, gender, race, ideology, and party affiliation combined with Census and ANES data for state-level election modeling.

ElectionSim framework accurately reproduced 47 of 51 state outcomes and 12 of 15 battlegrounds in 2020 simulations, allowing interactive testing of political messages on synthetic agents covering topics like immigration, taxes, guns, and election integrity.

Mike Roger propose: Stop building any new data centers for one full year. During that time, he wants leaders to create a clear, fair system for deciding whether to allow them. That system should put the needs and wishes of local communities first.

Xfinity’s WiFi Motion is a feature you can turn on if you want: It notices when people move around inside your house by watching how WiFi signals change between your router and up to five devices that stay connected. It keeps a list of times when movement happens.

  • It does not use any cameras or microphones.
  • Comcast’s own help pages say they can give these movement records to the police or other people if a court orders them to (like with a subpoena or warrant).
  • **They do not have to tell you when they do this.(haha 💀)

Warning: Fake downloads of GTA VI that have dangerous computer viruses are showing up on illegal download websites. Even though some people online say you can get it, there is no real playable version of GTA VI that anyone can download right now.

Some bad people are taking the recent leaked GTA VI files and hiding viruses inside them, then pretending the files are a full game.

If you search for and download a “leaked” copy, you risk getting malware that can steal all your personal information and passwords

As more of these “CyberLeek” leaks spread, even more fake GTA VI downloads will appear.

Stay away from anything that claims to be a full GTA VI game.
