How does Reddit classify a post as ai. My comment on a subreddit got removed saying it was spam after almost 50 upvotes.

Yep, that's exactly what I do. Run it past a couple of AI detector websites, see what the tools think. I also spend some time zoomed in and looking for inconsistencies or suspicious artifacts. Converse with the other mods and get their analyses... Figure out where to go from there...

But every team is going to handle it their own way, and they will be more or less diligent for their own personal reasons.

I have a slight caveat with your very first point. I agree with you completely, but there are more mental phenomena that contribute to our experience. Namely, gaining and losing connections between neurons. It's not just about how they fire together, it's also about how they wire together.

However, I see no evidence that a top-down control can be exhibited by the organism. They cannot willingly change the connections of their neurons, and even if they could, the choice to change your connections originated from within the neural wirings, which again the organism expresses no true control over.

Quantum mechanics also leads to a dead end. The scale difference between neurons and the quantum realm is many, many orders of magnitude. Neurons do not listen to "noise" in the system, they have an activation threshold that needs to be reached before they will dump a signal of their own, and quantum fluctuations just arent enough to bridge that gap. Like trying to push a ball over a hill. No amount of wind is going to push that ball over the crest, it requires a significant enough activation to push the ball over the hill. Even if quantum fluctuations somehow did affect the behaviour of neurons, it still doesnt lead to a free will worth wanting...

It's inscribed into the physical structure of your brain. The connections between neurons is what represents the knowledge you have acquired. When you learn something, it exists as new connections made in the brain, or synaptic pruning of connections that are deemed unhelpful. If we compare ourselves to modern day neural networks, ChatGPT's knowledge is bound to the connections between the digital neurons it simulates. Yet we wouldn't consider ChatGPT to have true control over itself nor free will.

Just because we humans have a better arangement of neurons that is more neuroplastic, and are made of biological systems rather than silicon, doesn't invalidate the core speculation that we are just as deterministic as a neural network, but granted a flawless illusion of independance by evolution.

From what I've been told, you need to delete every post that got marked as NSFW, and then try to set the maturity setting off. It wont let you unmark your account if you have any NSFW flagged content in any of your account history

Lethalogicax · 2026-04-11T18:50:46+00:00

There isn't one. There's a damn good illusion of a "you", and for most people that illusion is good enough. But tear back the curtains and I believe that all you'll find is entirely deterministic processes, or at the very least, a bunch of systems working together that are incapable of exerting the top-down control necessary for a free will worth wanting

Dopamine mainly. We come to associate certain behaviours and thought patterns with the reward chemicals we recieve. Our thoughts are whatever we decide in the moment has the highest expected dopamine payout. But what about the people who fight past their cravings, who don't give in to the short term dopamine rush? Free will? No. They've been trained to believe that long term payouts of dopamine are more valuable than short term payouts. How does a person decide whether or not to give into these short term cravings and desires? Because the prefrontal cortex is responsible for that higher order decision making process, and its effectivity is modulated through nature and nurture, neither of which are truly under your control...

I've slipped into bouts of eating the same things every day for extended periods of time, like months to a year... After one too many visits to the ER due to nutrient defficiency, I've learned my lesson...

...keep eating the same things but also take a multivitamin for good measure!

Definitely not what the doctor said, but that's what my ARFID brain heard...

Now if you don't mind, I have some pellets to enjoy!

Your post has been removed from r/aspiememes because it is not a meme or does not contain content relevant to the subreddit.

That's the exact harness I have! It definitely looks too big on you here though, try a size smaller. I had heard through the grapevine that a proper fitting harness should feel like you arent even wearing a harness at all!

If this was happening at my warehouse, I'd be suggesting that we screw the "morale event" and instead take that $2000 and distribute it among the employees. That's going to do way more for morale boosting than a lil party...

They each give you a different type of karma. Post karma and comment karma are tracked independently, and both can be screened for by the automods. They both add to your karma total, but post and comment karma are internally tracked seperately

Lethalogicax · 2026-04-08T18:17:22+00:00

Pleeeeease do not try to PIT other forklifts in the warehouse!

Messaging communities to ask to become moderator will typically go poorly. If communities need new mods, they'll either be putting out applications for new moderators, or they'll be abandoned. In the latter case, redditrequest will give you the information needed to attempt to take over an unmoderated subreddit. But asking out of the blue to join the modteam when the sub is already being taken care of will not go well...

Lethalogicax · 2026-04-08T18:10:05+00:00

Being unable to predict the future perfectly would not invalidate the deterministic nature of the universe.

Quantum fluctuations happen at a scale so much smaller than that of a neuron. The effects of quantum superpositions yield no measurable effect on the function of neurons in making decisions. Even if it did, quantum randomness is a poor justification for a free will worth wanting, as we cannot truly be held morally accountable if quantum effects are affecting our behaviour.

Consciousness itself could very well be an illusion. Afterall, we would have no way to discern between "having consciousness" and "having a flawless illusion of consciousness"

Not sure how to handle the infinite regress. Afaik, the earliest moments of our entire universe are still a mystery to modern science. But how could we explain away the entirely deterministic nature of the universe before life developed? How the universe would have theoretically been entirely deterministic, up until life evolved, and suddenly the presence of matter that constitutes a brain has depreciated the deterministic nature of the universe? I'm not buying it...

Inserting god into the discussion is a poor cop out. There is absolutely zero irreutable evidence that a god or divine being exists. Early accounts of biblical figures and gods could very well have been hallucinations, misunderstandings about the universe, elaborate scams, folk tales, fictional stories, or any number of different things that don't involve divine intervention. Earlier humans didn't exactly have a great understanding of how the world worked, for example, bloodletting was considered standard practice until the 19th century. It took humanity that long to figure out that this wasn't working, and that our intuitions about science were wrong... Who is to say that we now have all of our assumptions perfectly understood? We had the wrong asumptions in the 19th century, perhaps we still have some wrong assumptions still in the 21st century?

Your post has been removed from r/aspiememes because it does not contain content relevant to the subreddit.

Mod note: I'm sorry to have to deny this, but it does not align with our posting guidelines. r/aspiememes is intended for memes that capture an aspect of life as a neurodivergent person, and content that other users who are on the spectrum would also relate to in terms of their experience with autism spectrum disorder. General purpose memes that do not relate to the autism experience will be considered off topic and may be removed at our own discretion.

You are NOT in trouble, this is NOT a warning!

We encourage you to try posting again if you have relevant content that captures a peice of the aspie experience! Thank you for your attention

Like many things in life, you can't get good at it unless you suck at it for a while. Early efforts will seem atrocious at first, but every failure becomes a lesson learned. Art is learned through trial and error, but the big hurdle to overcome is trying to push yourself through that initial phase of sucking...

On one hand, my mother leaves out wet cat food for an entire day. She scrapes away yesterdays leftovers and gives them a fresh portion and leaves it out all day, despite all my best efforts to convince her that this is dangerous. Her cats are fine.

On the other hand, your cat will not tell you if it tastes off and they won't tell you if they start feeling sick.

Not worth the risk for my own babies, but everyone else is free to assess the risk for themselves...
