  • Very odd though, no? Why would they use a Trump bot as the public example?

    We already have hard proof for most of the other stuff, I guess someone could’ve seen the example and fabricated the article based on our shared knowledge. But I think that falls into the ‘nothing ever happens’ box

  • Is a bit odd the json example is of a Trump troll.

    We know most of these things are true anyway, we seen him do it in real time. Push himself to the top of the feed, align with autocrats, censor his critics, etc. There’s nothing too surprising in here.

  • No.

    The only way his autism is related is if he overestimated how funny it would be. But he 100% meant to do a Nazi salute. Twice, and then repeated a dog whistle to the 14-words.

  • Why does the ceasefire and gaza matter when the genocide is going full steam ahead in the west bank? Genocide Joe could've got the ceasefire agreed on those terms too without taking $100m from Adelson for the privlege

  • I mean, don’t friend, or put high trust on people you don’t know is pretty strong. Due to the “six degrees of separation” phenomenon, it scales pretty easily as well. If you have stupid friends that friend bots you can cut them off all, or just lower your trust in them.

    Know IRL? Seems it would inherently limit discoverability and openness. New users or those outside the immediate social graph would face significant barriers to entry and still vulnerable to manipulation, such as bots infiltrating through unsuspecting friends or malicious actors leveraging connections to gain credibility.

    “Post-turing” is pretty strong. People who’ve spent much time interacting with LLMs can easily spot them. For whatever reason, they all seem to have similar styles of writing.

    Not the good ones, many conversations online are fleeting. Those tell-tale signs can be removed with the right prompt and context. We're post turing in the sense that in most interactions online people wouldn't be able to tell they were speaking to a bot, especially if they weren't looking - which most aren't.

  • It has adjustable block size and computational cost limits through miner voting, NiPoPoWs enable efficient light clients. Storage Rent cleans up old boxes every four years. Pruned (full) node using a UTXO Set Snapshot is already possible.

    Plus you don't need to bloat the L1, can be done off-chain and authenticated on-chain using highly efficient authenticated data structures.

  • I dont see how that stops bots really. We're post-Turing test. In fact they could even scan previous reputation points allocation there and divise a winning strategy pretty easily.

  • How do you think independently?

    Jump

  • Yes but it's still there when I reintroduce some rational. I can see the anger emerge as I get closer to hitting their internal contradictions. Mike Pence and his words on what happened on Jan6 is an easy shortcut to constitution-loving patriots who didn't have an issue with the coup.

  • Silk Road wasn’t the first darknet market ya know. I helped launch the first couple that were .onion prior to Ross, but the movement has been about since the 90s at least and would’ve happened without any of us. We were working on a decentralised version that would've been unstoppable but people moved on and got other priorities when SR took all the media attention and spotlight. I'm guessing it'll emerge out crypto soon now the tech has caught up with the theory.

  • Your default should be try to disprove, or at least verify any claims.

    And surround yourself with good people.

    I’ve spoken to a lot of people who can’t think independently and I can’t figure out what’s wrong with them tbh. I understand it on paper. Cognitive dissonance, emotive narratives re-enforced by echo chambers that have blinded them. But how do you deny basic facts when they’re explained to you 1 on 1. I used to think they were lying but it’s clear to me now most aren’t.
