Announcement: We've Updated The Rules, and April Is Finally Over After temporarily banning LLM-related content over April, and asking you for feedback on that ban, we've decided to bring about an end of the temporary, I-can't-believe-it's-still-April ban on AI-related posts. Replacing the trial rule is a new shiny rule that refers to our new shiny AI policy. In short: > Content about AI and LLMs are considered off-topic with the sole exclusion of deeply technical content about implementation. And if you want more detail than that, go read the policy, that's what it's there for. In addition, when writing that rule, I realized the rules weren't listed on the old.reddit.com sidebar, so that's been updated. For those of you who are seeing those rules for the first time, everything there is not new. We've been enforcing those rules as best we can for ages. You can click the link above those to get to the old.reddit rules page, with plenty of info that doesn't exactly read well when crammed into a sidebar. https://redd.it/1tlh5aj @programmingreddit
