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.

Naw breh, read 1441910?

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.

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.
