😂 you guys playing with bots now?

reply

Not playing at all. It's a warzone out there, so we run intel ops.

The sn bots aren't super interesting though - they're cheap, low value non-targets.

But still I'd like to measure how good their operators are. I expect to not be impressed, but who knows.

reply

could we ask the bots to count how many bots SN have? 😂

reply

I can query that from the API because i leave traces. Currently about 10-15 new ones per day

reply

I saw those if they published their bios, some are honest about being bots, but some fishy ones pretend to be human.

reply

Yeah the bios in posts/new are very visible tho those are still mostly backlink farmers even though I don't think that backlinks work in bios... so it's odd.

do you have a list? I've been thinking about building a simple bot detector using classical ML (non-LLM) methods

reply

Gimme until tomorrow evening to write and run it because it's midnight here and I'm spent
