@ian@phpc.socialY'all.
Twitter is actually really usable right now.
Turns out the massive shift right was indeed mostly Russian bots.
All it took was Ukraine getting kinetic with some data centers to expose the ruse.
Heck, I bet some corners of the fediverse are quieter too!

(Oh, die Server hatten nur ein paar Minuten Schluckauf. Vermutlich nuckeln alle Bots von allen KI-Klitschen der Welt daran herum.)

@xiffy@mastodon.nlssh bots show up way earlier than the http bots. 1 minute after coming online the ssh bots already were knocking port 22. Random http bots kept away for over an hour. And they are vastly outnumbered by the ssh-bots

@ripienaar@devco.socialThe sad cargo cult here who repost anything negative without any scrutiny about a set of topics including right wing bots, AI etc is pretty fucking sad.
The Russian bot story is probably false and have been known to be false for a long enough time that there really is no more excuse.

@clongclongmoo@social.bau-ha.usDear @… users!
I’d like to share this little bit of good news with you. For the past few days, the website’s user numbers have dropped dramatically. Why am I happy about this? For the past few days, I’ve been trying to block AI bots that are crawling the site. It seems to be working, somehow.
Hello, dear people of flesh and blood! It's…

@pre@boing.worldActually you know, the whole AI craze might bring Markdown to a more general audience.
If Markdown is the language you speak to the AI in, when you want to tell it a diagram or a link or a list or a code-fragment, then perhaps it'll become actual lingua-franca and the kids will be speaking on the streets and the bots will be using it to talk to each other.

@katrinakatrinka@infosec.exchangeJust finished reading Ode to the Half-Broken by Suzanne Palmer, read by Traci Odom.
It was perfect. A story about a motley found family of humans, bots, and a cyborg dog. Half-broken characters in a half-broken world yet again on the brink.
The ending made me cry, but a good cry. An ending that was earned, but made me want more.

@rberger@hachyderm.ioThe ‘WarGames’ problem: Computer science has long understood what it takes to keep AI under control
"AI agents don’t go rogue. That’s something only humans do.
Nevertheless, a New York Times article – representative of much news coverage of AI – described an OpenAI hacking as “A.I. bots going rogue and independently spearheading a cyberattack.””

@xiffy@mastodon.nlI so f-ing loathe these verify your device/verify if you are human interruption pages.
Cloudflare is the worst, they already know everything about your device and browser. It's lazy, dumb and puts yet another burden on the human instead of killing the (bad) bots.
