One reason I don’t like genAI is I think people have gotten way too comfortable passively consuming huge quantities of media and I think genAI is another big stride toward anti-intellectualism and abdicating thinking

this is an excellent thread. even if a precise account does not yet exist of the ultimate motivations for this kind of social manipulation, it is good to see people catching on to it. it's not simply a matter of identifying the actors involved, but of building a social immune system to counter them
So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate.
The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵

this is kind of a niche issue but: if you are getting weird and hostile responses that feel a little off, there are some folks on here making accounts that automatically reply to large quantities of posts in a vaguely hostile manner. you can ignore them, and also, it's not personal

black mirror? this is straight out of hideo kojima's imagination
I've said it before, there's nothing Black Mirror could write that's anywhere near to the real horrors that Israel is enacting upon Palestinians daily
