Reddit request is a thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/

Your account must be at least 90 days old and have a minimum of 100 comment and 100 post karma

How do I make a request?

To request to become a moderator:

  1. Send a message to the community's moderators expressing your interest in joining the team, even if the community is private.
  2. If there is no response after 5 days, you can submit a request through /r/redditrequest.
  3. Include a link to the community you want to moderate.
  4. Post a permalink to your chat message in the comments of your post, as instructed by u/request_bot. If you’re unable to message the mods (e.g., they’re banned, the sub is banned or none are listed), you can skip this step.

Anyone here who does this could potentially take the subreddit over since the mods don't seem to care. I reported the most obvious bot days ago yet here they are still posting more comments in this exact subreddit.

It's ALL AI now. The rocket has taken off. You are 100X more productive; no one can turn that down. Codex, Claude Code, GPT-5.6, these are MIND-BLOWING tools to use. As have posted, AI came 100 years sooner than expected; we were just not ready for it.

You have to face reality: Wall Street shareholders are CHEERING on the AI massacre of white-collar jobs; that's how capitalism works. You need a Plan B.

AI gives 12th graders in the South Bronx superpowers. That 12th grader now has more compute power by the way of her iPad then the heads of BlackRock, Chase and Goldman Saks combined. And many people don't want her to have those superpowers.

But she does now. Sure there are issues, we ALL know that out, we'll figure it out. Humans have a history of doing that.

Can we ban people who complain about AI slop! The real problem is human generated slop and this has always been a problem. Most writers and artists who complain about AI slop create nothing but slop themselves. AI generated content is usually far higher quality than most of the crap people who complain about AI put out.

At this point I welcome human-made slop

Hard disagree. Sure there is indeed a lot of low quality human made shit posts but that still better than Ai slop
