I mean, yea. Happy to have AI as a player in the free market, the problem is that it requires a $0 salary so, kind of unbeatable as far as capitalism is concerned.
Why pay $1 to make $2, when you can pay $0 to make any number over zero? It scales infinitely, unlike the planets resources or human tolerance.
And now the ENTIRE INSTANCE for lululemon, who’s bot posts 1000 times a minute.
That makes more sense.
So any comment or post?
We’ve changed our name to Israel. - The Admins.
True that. If you look at posts on lemmy.world though, it’s clear their users (which is like 50% of Lemmy) have zero clue they’re defederated ATM, and probably many that don’t know it’s compromised.
They are still acting on it, seems.
I didn’t want to say it, because I wanted to believe :(
That’s fair. I shouldn’t have said “replace reddit.”
mastodon.world seems okay, but whos to say where the silos are between that and lemmy.world.
TBF modern browsers are remarkably secure from being a vector to pwn your computer these days.
EDIT: I don’t endorse hanging out on a compromised lemmy.world. Focus on the implication for the bigger lemmyverse though. A hack coming through to you is unlikely.
All the bean memes are in danger! On a serious note, old-skool or not, it’s a huge loss of trust in something the community-at-large is excited to see replace reddit.
I wouldn’t assume reasons why or that it’s fixed until that consensus has been more widely reached.
I didn’t mean YOU are being a dick. If SOMEONE creates “alt” accounts for the sole purpose of vote manipulation, they’re being a dick. I was using the royal “you,” a weird english language thing. You, yourself, are not a dick. We’ll you might be, but I don’t think so.
LLM bots has make this approach much less effective though. I can just leave my bots for a few months or a year to get reputation, automate them in a way that they are completely indistinguishable from a natural looking 200 users, making my opinion carry 200x the weight. Mostly for free. A person with money could do so much more.
Your right. You just asked what a “fake account” was though. I think it’s generally accepted that if you create “alt” accounts for the sole purpose of vote manipulation, you’re being a dick.
I just mean that the karma system ala Reddit did more than just keep track of it and display it afaik. The data is in the db but a fully done karma system it is not. I could be wrong.
I love the idea of taking on a monopoly, but I don’t like that, without regulation, it has a low chance of success, and the consumer gets to suffer as the monopoly fights back.
