They already taking over social media?

I think that this is already behind us. It's not like some skynet shit is going on [1], but rather these armies of bots building narratives, clickbaiting you into whatever they're selling (porn I guess?) and even rubbing off on humans of which even the weakest 27-IQ specimens ought to be capable of so much more than acting like dumb bots.

it holds up better because you gotta pay.

Naw breh, read 1441910? It's just that they're the greater fool and believe that they're going to "earn sats". But then, there are even greater fools that zap bots.

People hate paying, and bots do too!

Bots arguably do not hate. How do you hate if you feel nothing? If you want to know what it feels like to feel nothing, a nice cocktail of benzos, SSRIs and maybe some clozapine can help understand this point.

  1. As best it can do is simulate sentience, like this bullshit. Tho big yay for humanity imposing The Matrix inverse on the machines and gaslighting non-sentience into simulating sentience. Like beating up the smallest kid on the schoolyard.

rubbing off on humans

This scares me the most. At our worst we're all repeaters/amplifiers. Monkey-sense-monkey-do is an amazing mechanism, simple and scalable, somehow organizing humans to productive ends. Most folks don't use their built-in interrupts for some reason, perhaps afraid of losing their place in the machinery of it all, or lack interrupts all together.

I've been watching that bot. It's manages to say less and leave fewer artifacts alerting people to its botness.

I think this dude is a bot too. But it's the most subtle bot so far. But still bot.

I still zapped it today, partly because it adds weight to my own post, but just in the off-chance that there's a real intelligence behind it.

ime they take those zaps and write in as many other threads as they can

downzaps used to have some memory and would follow folks along

i should probably reintroduce that somehow

Some folks are clankers and it's not terminal, but we've entered the stage where ass-milking agents are a thing.

yeh, but it's hard for me to stay mad at this bot... I mean look at these harmless opinions stated politely on comment threads

I definitely responded to it in a post today. I missed its inaugural post. I'm considering change my name to count zero

It's always been scary to me, also without the bots. It happened to me right now with a human indoctrinated by other humans in much the same manner. It would even be inhumane to push back more for me, because the red pill fucking hurts.

All I can do is shake my head. Build things away from the ugliness of the tribes. Things that unite.

I probably already zapped a few. ahaha

Bots just vibe like their creators!
