They’ve admitted it a lot. Where are you getting that disinformation?
Well trying to find an actual statement is more difficult than I remember, but that could partially be due to Google ongoing enshittification. I did find this in a TIME article about the “IBM and the Holocaust” book from 2001:
Of course, not everyone agrees with Seltzer’s assessment — least of all IBM. Last week, the company released a statement: “If this book points to new and verifiable information that advances understanding of this tragic era, IBM will examine it and ask that appropriate scholars do the same.” But company spokespeople insist that Black’s allegations are not new, that historians have long been aware that the Nazis used IBM’s tabulating machines. And, spokespeople insist, the company is paying for its mistakes: IBM Germany, formerly Dehomag, has already paid into Germany’s government-sponsored initiative to compensate citizens forced to work for the Nazis.
I thought there was a lot more public acknowledgement though, and it’s hard to find. So - 50%?
Two of these are not being pulverized by a nuclear power at the moment.
Yes how can we horrify children

What they said
If you refresh the page it usually fixes that too.
We have excellent news for you
The void appears to have calmed down for now, with the current state of the board suggesting a truce among users. That’s good news for those whose art was being obliterated by the movement, though whether Reddit will listen when the money is now rolling in is another matter.
What money is “rolling in”?
You must be on your primary home IP for the initial registration. You can not use VPNs, proxies, mobile IPs, or public wi-fi IPs for the interview.
Drat
I agree. The first little bit is okay, but then it’s two and a half hours of D-minor synthesizer droning and a lot of panicked faces and screaming. Tedious and exhausting for nothing.
Feh. Bah. The books are great, though.
[w/r/t API kerfuffle] In some ways, this makes sense: third-party apps let users skip ads, which hits Reddit’s bottom line. The pricing, however, seems steep. Why?
Well, the answer is AI. Basically, former Reddit board member Sam Altman, who departed in 2022, admitted his company, OpenAI, had trained on Reddit data. I find it difficult to believe that Huffman didn’t know OpenAI was training using Reddit’s data, particularly since Altman sat on Huffman’s board. Suddenly, Huffman is saying the API is very valuable, especially to buzzy AI companies that investors have lately had the hots for. This seems to position Reddit as being in the shovels business during the AI gold rush.
So if we don’t like it . . . don’t . . downvote it?
Isn’t that, y’know, what the downvote’s for?
That’s cornfusing.
To Lukoil, of course.
Not Gazprom, those wankers. Lukoil. Beacon of . . y’know . . freedom or some shit. When the state-managed privately-run petroleum conglomerate buys your country’s main search engine, you know it’s a bad day.
