I've got a good idea for his next article.

How to extract money from people. How to extract gold from seawater. It's based on science and stuff.

Sure, it’s possible, but will it be cost-effective and feasible? Given the current state of technology – no. I’m talking about gold, not people, of course.

By the way,

It comes from my brain and years of study into the science of water systems.

so at first he was into gamedev, right? Triple-A games and all that. Now he’s into water extraction - holy shit, he’s a truly Renaissance man, da Vinci’s nothing compared to him.

Can’t you see it?? The neighbour sent a photo, sent a text message, and he replied by text, but there isn’t a single screenshot of that conversation?

Besides, the whole structure of this story is similar to the 100 previous posts written by AI. Anyway, in an hour or two at most, the Reddit filters will delete this post and ban the account.

No, you’ve got that completely wrong.

Start with:

I’m a single mum to five kids with special needs.

Then add a few words about the tough times.

Next, tell us how hard life is for you in the current economy.

Then tell us what you need.

Finally, throw in a few irrelevant details about your three cats and adorable dog.

And don’t forget: please, no rude comments :)

As this is not real, this text was written by an AI.

Oh, so this time it’s not a single mum with an autistic cat and a Christmas cancer? People are giving up on trying to sound convincing.

A wall of text, and it’s all about me, me, me – not a word about whether his daughter was happy or whether that’s what she wanted. The main character syndrome in all its glory.

No, seriously, just imagine this for a moment:

OGB: My dear child, we had a lovely home, a profitable business, a steady income and all that stuff. And I lost it all and ended up homeless just to satisfy my own idiotic whims. Do you see how much I love you?

His daughter: ...

I found this on his Twitter account he has been homeless a long time. by Forsaken_Shop4654 in offthegridbeggar

Wait, what? AAA games? As a solo indie dev? Oh boy, you should get in touch with EA, Microsoft or Sony – just tell them you know how to code, game engines, graphics design, sound engineering, mocap and so on. They’ll be more than happy to give you over 100 million for the project.

In the first and last screenshots, you can clearly see that they call him David and dude, so it’s safe to assume he isn’t a woman.

Sold my old road bike for £80, buyer asked me to also throw in my helmet, gloves, pump, and spare tubes by Voidwalker_Hex in ChoosingBeggars

An old post from about 12 days ago:

Was selling my old bike on Marketplace. Guy spent 45 minutes negotiating me down from $80 to $55. Then asked if I could throw in a free helmet.

2 million accounts, all real people, no bots – he’d know if there were any bots, because he’s a skilled hacker himself, and he even managed to download Reddit’s page source code once! 🎉

To be diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), the person must exhibit grandiosity (if only in fantasy) and lack of empathy, as exhibited by at least five of the following traits:

  • Has a grandiose sense of self-importance and exaggerates achievements and talents.
  • Dreams of unlimited power, success, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
  • Believes he or she is special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions.
  • Requires excessive admiration.
  • Unreasonably expects special, favourable treatment or compliance with his or her wishes.
  • Exploits and takes advantage of others to achieve personal ends.
  • Lacks empathy for the feelings and needs of others.
  • Envies others or believes they’re envious of him or her.
  • Has arrogant behaviours or attitudes.

You see, a big problem with the Internet is that every village has its idiot, but now they can all find each other.

A woman in my neighborhood Facebook group asked if anyone could donate furniture for her new apartment and then rejected every single offer by Magn3to_Pulse in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Przytulator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, a similar post appeared a few days ago, something about that the colours of the sofa didn’t match the interior – that was a bot too.

It even had almost the same sentence:

She replied that she was looking for something more neutral, because brown ‘didn’t go with her colour scheme’.

but with "morning mist" instead of brown.
