I like the assumption that it was a real account originally.
It all seems so unthinkable but when running a forum or a blog with an active comment section.. what would you do/think if your users show up, browse around and not say anything for a week? You start out by making topics in your own name, write helpful replies.. until you look like an idiot talking to yourself.
Forums with good traffic and lots of spammy advertisement no doubt consider it when visitors leave because nothing new happened.
I once upon a time, on a rather stale forum, created two similarly named accounts from the same ip and argued with myself. At first I thought the owner or one of the other users would notice but I quickly learned that no behaviour is weird enough for it to be ever considered.
I imagine downscaling and reducing the number of colors in steps could gradually increase the false positives. You would have to noticably change the icon to avoid it.
I also include a short description of rss, which parts to support with an example and a description of how one could make an rss feed: you take whatever code produces the index html, remove everything except the part that outputs for each item the title, introduction text, the link and the publication date.
Followed by one more short example rss with $title
Not that any developer would really need this but it puts everything they need to know and do on a single page. You don't have to think, just do it.
An illiterate coworker of mine showed me his phone and asked for help. It was utterly amazing, he exclusively got videos from goat and donkey farmers. The most stunning part was that most of the videos were completely hilarious. People talking to their goat then the goat does what they say or the opposite on purpose.
I've been uhh.. suffering(?) a different perspective. A company may hire a human to talk for it or its owner may talk for it.. the server rack and the software are things it can own. I don't think others are nesasarly any longer talking for it.
It is an absurd leap we've made but companies are also legal persons.
The companies are still of human design full of human behaviour and human characteristics while the LLMs actively try to imitate humans.
The dictionary saying: anthropomorphized: attribute human characteristics or behaviour to (a god, animal, or object).
If it passes the Turing test surely anthropomorphizing is fair game?
In my mental imagery this is a situation that any advancing civilization in the universe should eventually run into. There will be all kinds of materials from the laborious and expensive to the effortless and "I was the first" or some other entitlement. It all boils down to having or not having such automatons. I'm sure there have been plenty who, like us with our books, have successfully denied progress. I'm also sure there have been plenty where it was completely obvious to upload the entire database of ET knowledge.
It is equally obvious what the later gained and the former lost in the process.
We, with our books, have successfully prevented people from educating themselves with amazing implications. Now the challenge is to create equally impotent machines!
The brain chip is just one more interface. I feel the need to remind the younglings that in the time before the internet we talked a lot and talked about whatever we wanted to. Moderation was done by the speaker himself by knowing people. Imagine that! It sometimes got emotional or violent but that is an important part of communication. Looking at your watch was somewhat of an insult as if the other failed to be interesting enough. Today no one is interesting enough to talk in long form, few remember how
Now imagine direct thought moderation. After all, thoughts belong to people? I thought it first? You can't just... It is clear we should control your thoughts. We can't just have you think random things. It would be like like TikTok! Or like reading books!Terrifying!
We are quite used to the man behind the curtain deciding everything for us. At what point would the deal get to absurd I wonder? Would 1984 eventually become a really boring book? Would it exist at all? Would people save up social credits to read it?
Other civilizations must have tried all possible variations with rather predictable results. To a free mind I mean.
Or are we already puppets on a string? How much am I boring you with this? Should I be allowed?
I mean how we, in stead of setting the books free, keep them in cages and sell tickets.
It seems to me any civilization in the history of the cosmos will inevitably reach a stage where they have choose to make knowledge available in order to solve problems.
One should only have to type the title of a book then get to browse around for a bit. Send a link to someone etc
Anything else is suicidal nonsense.
Tax hard working people to pay to defend dead peoples pixels from copying?
No one knows who or what an author is if there even is one. If I generate or write by hand all word combinations I don't get to own them.
Enforcement is much to expensive for normal people if one even notices the copying. They just get to pay for it.
An elaborate scheme in order to not solve problems, not innovate and not progress.
I was just thinking... Depending on the type of articles one can pretty decently describe what makes it a good one. Recipes should be short texts that may link to a gallery, a video and to a text about it. They should have a section called ingredients and one for preparation and may have an author and a date. Research articles should cite sources elaborately.
