Adrian Chen wrote a Gawker exposé of one of the subreddit's moderators and identified the person behind the account, starting discussion in the media about the ethics of anonymity and outing on the Internet. In 2012, the subreddit r/Creepshots received major backlash due to being a subreddit for sharing suggestive or revealing photos of women taken without their awareness or consent. After commenters were seen asking for nude photos of underage girls, and under significant external scrutiny, Reddit shut down r/jailbait. Reddit rose to infamy in October 2011, when a report by CNN showed that Reddit was harboring the r/jailbait community, which was devoted to sharing suggestive or revealing photos of underage girls. In 2008, subreddit creation was opened to all users.
Subreddits were created later, but could only initially be created by Reddit administrators. "It perfectly encapsulated the mix of offensiveness, nihilism, trolling, and deep distrust of any information whatsoever that permeates most posts on /pol.” World's WorstĮven though it was eventually outed as a bot posting from the island nation of Seychelles - known, unrelatedly, for its climate change mitigation efforts - the posts got lots of attention and interaction beforehand.When Reddit was founded in 2005, there was only one shared space for all links, and subreddits did not exist. "The model was good in a terrible sense," Kilcher said in a video he uploaded last week. Kilcher wasn't exactly surprised by the results, and said that building a model based on the worst of the internet's worst was, in a strange way, enlightening. The outlet reported that Yannic Kilcher, an AI researcher and YouTuber, used more than three million 4chan threads from the infamous void that "/pol/," one of the most horrific portions of the already-notorious site. They weren't any old 4chan posts, either.
VICE reported this week that the worst has come to pass: a guy trained an artificial intelligence using millions of 4chan posts, and then turned the resulting monstrosity loose on the web, letting it post directly to the cursed messageboard. "The model is quite vile, I have to warn you." Bad Seed
