Hey, I can’t but I could build you a bot that pretends to be a beautiful young Eastern European / Thai (your choice) single woman looking for a husband with face pics, videos who needs a down-payment for a flight to visit you.

• AI slop != spam
• No one can tell the difference between AI slop and real people.
• Creating hundreds of AI posts in seconds/minutes is possible, but easily detectable. People have the smarts.

Sure, but it wasn’t really possible to code the stuff they wanted to at that time.

Does our brain follow manually coded instructions?

You probably had no idea the field even exists two years ago

MFW was using it ten years ago.

Please do and report back. There’s a significant difference between following manually coded instructions and ‘intelligence’.

No it can’t. It seems to be you that is confusing idiot speak with English.

“AI” has existed since the 70s in terms of computing. In terms of the theory, much further back.

This is not AI, just simple logic. This is how it should be done, and not with “AI”. I hope young coders don’t confuse logic with machine learning.

I wonder how many people around the world are laughing at USA right now.

Stop calling everyone a “skeptic” and call them what they are: deniers idiots.

FTFY!

1. no they weren’t. no moving of goalposts
2. what’s my number then?
3. amazingly not stupid. dunning kruger and all that.

signal accounts… signal accounts everywhere!

perfect for the everyday user

…because of course, they don’t need privacy, do they now. “Nothing to hide” and all that jazz.

But like TOR, can entry / exit nodes be used to tie the two ends together through e.g. timing attacks?

The messages are private and that’s what’s most important.

No, that isn’t true. WhatsApp has the same lies. Law enforcement connect communication between users at key times and use it as credible evidence. Why would drug exporter 1 be communicating with drug buyer 1 at the exact time the delivery arrives in the country? Law enforcement doesn’t need to know what was written.

Phone numbers are one way. Paid accounts are another.

Rubbish. How would this stop bots? Bots are created to make money. What makes you think creators don’t have a phone number, or be prepared to pay to spam.

huh? so the phone number is encrypted in a way that can’t be read, but an sms is sent to the phone? … a separate company sends the text on behalf of signal? so that separate company logs the phone number, the timestamp and who knows what else.

1. yawn, vpns are a thing and strawman argument. point?
2. my number is private. point?
3. bs. spam is easy to detect across a large number of accounts using simpleheuristics. point?

But the police request the meta data of all messages from your phone number that the company has and they’re required by law to give them it.
