it could be the result of the forum running on long-unpatched software dating back to 2016.
It's widely known that the current site owner doesn't give a fuck about the site, and it's de facto been led by the moderator "rapeape". Sooner or later the site will die, financially it's probably worthless, and I wonder where all those people will go. Maybe they could make a federated imageboard...
The issue that the article raises is legitimate, but actually looking through their archives is baffling, they're really just hellbent on shitting on WP.

Still, it is interesting and good to see some concrete advancement in the study of AI reasoning. Hopefully it will contribute towards reducing the mystification of the whole thing.
I don't think piracy is legal anywhere.
It took them some time, huh?
Ehh sorry. I assumed/hoped you were talking about something more, that I wasn't aware of. I know of these protests, but they were not nearly intense enough to disrupt the system. Much of the urban youth that might have led the protests has left the country in the meantime too, so I wouldn't be surprised if the next round of recruitment is met with even weaker resistance...
Maybe I should just Google it but... do you remember any specific cases of this pushback?
8chan got taken down years ago, multiple reboots of it have appeared but IIRC they're all practically dead. So, not a likely candidate.
