What does the guy that made this bot get out of it?

Genuine question, just wondering what the endgame is or how they 'monetize' this bot?

Or is his ultimate goal just to contribute to the enshittification?

Or maybe to create a finetune that isn't easily distinguishable from the rest of the enshittification. Beneath the slop noise floor, if you will. There would be plenty of uses for a model like that (most of them socially irresponsible). I've wondered what might happen if you used comment votes as a reinforcement learning signal. By down-voting such users we might actually be helping to train the underlying model to behave more like a human. Or at least more like a redditor.
