@… welcome to gardenstate.social!
This will be the first of a series of welcome posts with helpful information about this mastodon server.
To help weed out the bots let us know how you found us and picked this server to join? Be descriptive!
Wer hat gnu.org aus dem Web gekegelt?
(Oh, die Server hatten nur ein paar Minuten Schluckauf. Vermutlich nuckeln alle Bots von allen KI-Klitschen der Welt daran herum.)

ssh 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

Sorry, right now I just kind of need to
The 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.

Y'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!
Dear @… 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…
Actually 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.

Hello, dear people of flesh and blood! It's…
Just 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.

I 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.
The ‘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.””

Dass die neuen Wörter nicht irgendwann "ausgehen", liegt an vielen Dingen, die teilweise untereinander zusammenhängen (eine unvollständige Liste):
- Das Deutsche eignet sich wunderbar dazu, Komposita zu bilden. Viele davon wurden noch nie beobachtet (oder sogar wirklich noch nie gebildet, "Chaos-Tief", "Grillkrise", "Standardpenislänge", "Lagerfeuermacher", "Zitronenkuss").
- Es passieren neue Dinge in der Welt oder es werden Sachen erfunden, die mit neuen Wörtern beschrieben werden müssen – oft eben mit Komposita ("KI-Oper", "LED-Lichtschwert", "Pannen-Wal").
- Einige der neuen Wortformen sind Namen von Personen, Institutionen, Firmen, Orten usw. Einige davon sind noch nicht in den "bekannten Wörtern" des Bots gespeichert ("Vaavua-Atoll", "Abu-Bilal", "Bangaranga").
- Namen können auch in neuen Komposita (s.o.) integriert werden ("Mbappé-Geste", "Whoop-Armband", "Bardem-Video").
- Leute machen ständig neue Tippfehler ("aifryer", "enttäusscht", "Wetter-Umschung").
