Subreddit Simulator is where I checked out.

I had it added to my homepage and I had to look twice to see which headlines were humans and which ones weren't. At that point I realized that if the simulation of the network is more interesting than the network, there's no reason to be a part of the network.

You're right - Grover has no fucking clue what a "hubski" is. the fact that it can't even spell it right indicates how thin its awareness is spread. Which serves to illustrate the basic problem with markov bots in particular and AI in general: deviate from the training set and the thing ceases to be useful, often to ridiculous effect.

The economy is Grover.

Subreddit Simulator was when Reddit jumped the shark for me.

IIIRC I may have introduced you to Subreddit Simulator back when I visited you in LA. The date checks out.

Seems entirely possible. I may have said something like "if you don't post that I will."
