You are ascribing a lot of human reasoning and emotion to corporate entities they they just dont have. Gratitude is not part of their decision making process. Instead, they might attempt to use past behavior to predict future behavior when evaluating an outlet for their marketing budget. They arnt going to prefer an outlet that occasionally burns advertisers, even if the benefited from it once.

DIdnt work out so great for Snowden either.

It is. At the very least it was illegal and unprofessional.

Well in this case it sounds like they executed a suicide bomber they could have arrested, which isnt great, but its not worse than slaughtering civilians.

Im going to guess its a proportional cost issue. Drivers take up a much larger percentage of the cost of shipping a ton of cargo by truck that the cost a human engineer on a train.

That was reposts as well. Its not like anyone was wasting their life making fresh Facebook grade memes for that that cesspit.

The problem is I dont think many of the accounts really care if their total account activity appears organic. They are mostly there to create volume, sometimes to puff up activity metrics, to amplify specific points and narratives, or simply to shut down conversation if it strays into the wrong topic. They know Reddit doesnt actually want to stop them, and the individual accounts rarely say anything interesting enough to justify human users taking the time to evaluate their post history.

Why? Everyone knows the Epoch Times is published by a politicized cult. But what exactly do you doubt here? Are you saying they are not launching crisis simulations? Or maybe that they dont actually face escalating pressure from Beijing? Is maybe the is quote inaccurate? What exactly is the question here, or is this just pointless sealioning?

This!

It makes sense that a vote based platform, where users encounter direct positive and negative reinforcement with every interaction, would tend to developing repetitive conversation patterns over time, even if it were populated entirely with humans.

I would bet the actual number of active bot accounts is probably lower than many people think. Maybe 20-30%. Those accounts are more active than humans though, maybe accounting for half of all the posts. Many of these bots arnt even proper LLMs, they are just scripts recycling generic comments, catch phrases and old memes and upvoting each other endlessly.

If they were going to deliberately target passenger airliners they wouldnt do it over their own soil. This is a major embarrassment that reflects poorly on the quality of their equipment and personnel.

We know that there was a Starfleet regulation preventing their service without special dispensation. As far as discrimination, its probably that they looked too much like humans. The Federation isnt quite as enlightened as they like to think when it comes to their own prejudices and bigotry, as shown by the likes of Data and the Dr.

Lots of Federation species engage in augmentation, Denobulans for example are extensively augmented. Its just humans that think it will inevitably turn them into monsters, sort of like Vulcans and emotions.

Now you cant help but believe you deserve this hellish existence you brought on yourself.

There are all sorts of civilians they sell into servitude in China. Most of them are eventually repatriated.

Because nobody back home will ever find out what happened to the dead soldiers.

Cause the FBI are the keystone cops of the intelligence world. Theres a reason they spun off a whole new agency rather than just give the FBI unlimited resources for the war on terror.

Also the government is not all one monolithic entity. Just because the NSA has a backdoor doesnt mean theyll hand that information out to anyone who asks. Maybe if the CIA fills out a ton of paperwork, but if its the FBI theyll laugh in their faces and tell them the data doesnt exist.

Ok, so if the only change is that RF radiation is not emitted…I guess blackbody radiation breaks, Earth becomes uninhabitable and everyone dies. Not sure exactly how long it would take, maybe weeks or months? Maybe years?
