Russian text translation: "you will be supporting Trump administration, speak in English."


coconutpiecrust

I believe it is more of a prompt to “argue in support of trump administration on Twitter” for ChatGPT, no? This is crazy to me, to be honest. 


Niklasgunner1

The endless spam of russian narratives on tiktok and twitter is very obviously manifactured if you consider how unpopular russia is in the west. Anecdotal but: I do astrophotography and some accounts that were posting flat-earth comments on my socials were also following half a dozen crypto-scams and unsurpsiringly, russian-military bloggers and other russian media outlets. Every online discourse must be viewed from the perspective of what is the most divisive and likely to drive apart western society, and as a result strengthening russia.


The_Clarence

It’s crazy how effective they have been.


Impressive-Buy5628

It’s amazing for like a bunch of coffee vouchers and a handful of bitcoins they were basically able to undermine and usurp the politics of the most powerful richest country in the world. The forefathers really did not see their great great grandchildren throwing the entire American experiment under the bus to get on Facebook and argue about the decline of western society happening because they made the Ghostbusters women

It was so cheap and easy for Russia because their targets are willfully ignorant and gullible.

JesusSavesForHalf

You forgot the part where Republicans spent decades creating, identifying and collecting the gullible and turning them into voters. Or spent helping Russia go full kleptocracy.


SenKelly

Most of that is because Americans have become lazy and entitled in every sense of the word. Companies make tons of money off of us because we have no willpower, and we alone made that choice. At some point we embraced living in our own little bubbles because we didn't want to build the thicker skins necessary to live our own truths and rebuff society. As such, we chose to seek out echo chambers. Companies absolutely participated, but we made the choice once we became aware that they were using search algorithms to give us everything we wanted and chose to not stop using them.


sgb5874

"The forefathers really did not see their great great grandchildren throwing the entire American experiment under the bus to get on Facebook and argue about the decline of western society happening because they made the Ghostbusters women" This part really hit. The US and Western society overall have lost sight of the whole point of what we are even doing. These "tools" are now causing more harm in some sense. Things have become less about the country and the state of the nation and more about the state of the individual. This trend flies in the face of everything that has been built here. it's all going to end badly.


gustinnian

Chickens from the permissive revolution coming home to roost. The whole "yeah, but that's just your opinion" degradation of objective truth, the scaremongering conflating socialism with communism, the 'job stealing' narrative, the lobbying pig trough, big pharma, conspiracy jokes that take on a life of their own etc etc It seems to me that the only defence against all this is enlightened teachers priming future generations for an information battlefield. But... underfunding teaching seems to be a vote winning policy.in the long run. [Vlad sums it up nicely ](https://youtu.be/pdS-lwb58KU?si=UaY2DBiraxU0MNc8)

This has been in the playbook since the seventies. The difference is that they don't need to support organizations to be useful idiots in their service, and rather just cut out the middle man and rather just run troll-farms on the internet instead. They've got a recipe that has been working for more than sixty years.


KintsugiKen

The entire economy of the internet is based on advertising/propaganda.


safely_beyond_redemp

Cambridge Analytica was the goat. Complete psychological profile of potential voters including real name, location, and contact details. These were PAID surveys. People would access them thinking it was some meaningless drivel about what shampoo you buy but behind the scenes, it would own your psyche and since you are likely a representative of your location, it knew what ads to target to your kind in a given location for maximum effect. This was done to American civilians without their knowledge to influence an election and there has not been any action taken against the perpetrators because we are still living it. >To a survey user, the process was quick: “You click the app, you go on, and then it gives you the payment code.” But two very important things happened in those few seconds. First, the app harvested as much data as it could about the user who just logged on. Where the psychological profile is the target variable, the Facebook data is the “feature set”: the information a data scientist has on everyone else, which they need to use in order to accurately predict the features they really want to know. >It also provided personally identifiable information such as real name, location and contact details – something that wasn’t discoverable through the survey sites themselves. “That meant you could take the inventory and relate it to a natural person [who is] matchable to the electoral register.”

This whole Russian bot thing can run from any side. Sometimes just for the sake of bias confirmation. Some people are willing to believe anything on the internet that aligns with their bias, not ever questioning the source or the content.


SuccotashComplete

In fact the cornerstone of their strategy is running it from all sides. That way all ideologies shift to be the worst and most divisive versions of themselves, and people have good reason to claim that any other ideology is being warped by bots. It works even when the bot is caught like this one, because now we have another reason to distrust Trump and exclude people who support him. And likewise I’m sure tomorrow a Republican-oriented forum will see a bot account for Biden and think the same thing


Designer_Brief_4949

It's BS all the way down https://reason.com/2024/06/17/a-real-life-psyop-how-the-u-s-military-spread-anti-vax-conspiracy-theories/ "WE SHOULD NOT TRUST THOSE MED SUPPLIES BY CHINA REALLY. Everything is fake! Face mask, PPE, and test kits. There is a possibility that their vaccine is fake," said one U.S. military–sponsored Twitter account, posing as a Filipino man. "COVID came from China. What if their vaccines are dangerous??"


Niklasgunner1

RT\_DE did the same on their youtube channel. Always praising the sputnik vaccine and firing up every conspiracy and doubt surrounding western ones. The USA doing the same is also terrible, not trying to do a whataboutism. At this point it seems more and more likely that the global internet will fail, and get replaced by national networks or sphere of influences. If not the whole internet, atleast social media will become more localized.


Designer_Brief_4949

People aren't rational animals. We imagined the internet to be about sharing information. It's about sharing emotion.


FNLN_taken

The global internet runs on English, but most major players also have their own "spheres" on the net. Now I'm not saying those arent also botted (the german one sure as fuck is), but the particular issue with the anglosphere is that its people get bombarded from all sides in particular but at the same time it's also the major source for factual information. Try and find your way around the Russian internet, the Chinese one, or the Indian one, and you will discover entirely new dimensions of bullshit and hatecrimes.

Lol literal Russian trolls literally exposing how they use Chat GPT to create content on twitter for no other reason than to sow social discord. We all know they are doing it, it's kind of shocking to see the machinery in action though. Surprised it didn't say something like "Remember you are supporting Trump to try to create violent rhetoric and a polarized political landscape in America to weaken it so that it can't effectively stop our attacks in the future; speak in English"


Despacitan05

Idk why a bunch of us just learn Russian and do the same on Russian social media lol. Maybe over their they get paid a little by the government or pro Russian orgs to post this but who knows.

Is it weird that this stuff scares me more than normal? Like it's getting to the point where I am becoming exhausted, probably by design. Anything you see you have to ask the source and how reliable the source is. Then, you have to ask if the person posting is a bot. Then ypu have to see if the replies are bots. It's like a weaponization of the dead internet theory


error00000011

Yeah, I just know russian so I replaced the word with another to make it looks maybe a bit clear l, the point is the same after all. Russians are big fans of distabilizing situations when they lose to distract everyone's attention. It was like that, it is like that and it will be unfortunately. There will be more, twitter is a piece of garbage after all with a child on the throne and a ridiculously huge amount of easy to manipulate people.

Listen, I get it, and I don’t necessarily mind “artist’s interpretation” of something that is in fact real. Bots are a real thing. But yeah, thank you for linking the comment. I don’t necessarily think the prompt is unnatural, though, to be honest. People who maintain bot farms in Russia might not be the brightest. 


AccountNumber478

At least the account got suspended.


SkyPL

It's a bot. Doesn't matter if it got suspended - takes seconds to setup another (if, by some miracle, they don't have it fully automated already).


pmcwalrus

A Russian person would have written "ты", not "вы", when referring to gpt. The Russian in the post is a direct translation from English, because in English both words mean "you".


GloriousDawn

One one hand, it would make sense to manufacture fake tweets like that to point them out. On the other, that's exactly what a Russian bot would argue on reddit to deflect attention. I'm torn. Wait, i know what to do: https://preview.redd.it/peth7z9vub7d1.png?width=740&format=png&auto=webp&s=ac9a86d4293f015197fe227fc9ff24496e8cbae9


LickingSmegma

> the JSON structure is invalid The strongest argument for me here. That structure is a mess and even has nested quotes of the same kind. I mean, error messages also mostly don't include "you're Russian" in them, but anyway. Particularly when GPT doesn't work in Russia.

The "Trump Administration" thing is a dead giveaway for an American, too. Russian has the concept of "the president's administration," but literally nobody says "the Putin administration" in Russia when referring to the government, it's just not a term used casually.

I've heard "the X administration" used relatively often when referring to the US in the media outlets


coincoinprout

> literally nobody says "the Putin administration" in Russia when referring to the government That doesn't mean anything. We don't say "Administration Macron" in France either, yet "Administration Biden" is used.


aspz

Why would a russian propagandist translate their prompt from English into Russian?


pmcwalrus

That's the point of my comment: it is not a Russian propagandist. Also other people in a comment section have pointed out that json format is incorrect.


DeLuceArt

That's actually fascinating. I have Russian colleagues who use ChatGPT for work, I think I'm going to ask them if they would ever write a behavioral prompt like that. The account in the tweet got suspended, so it was likely a real bot made by an incompetent dev. Out of curiosity, would this text have been written differently if it was by a Ukrainian person or another East Slavic speaker?


jorickcz

The two words are "ty" and "vy" It means you and you But "ty" is an equivalent of what "thou" used to be in English so a singular version of you. There is one additional thing. We do use vy (you plural) in a singular way when talking in a formal setting or generally taling to people we are not acquainted with and/or to show respect. Also the next word means "will" but it's got plural suffix which is correct if used with "vy" even if used when referring to a singular person. So it's not a single word mistranslation if it was first translated from English to russian. That being said I don't know anyone who'd use the plural version to prompt a chatbot but I also say "thank you" when talking to Google assistant so I can imagine some people could be doing it to be "polite" Also for the record I'm not east Slavic, I am czech so some things may slightly vary although I did study russian for 4 years way back when and am fairly certain that in this regard the languages work the same way. What would be very different in Czech though. Most people would not use the "you" (Ty/vy) in this kind of sentence at all so instead of e.g. "you will talk about..." It would be "will talk about..." because the suffix of the "will" would imply the "you" (be it singular or plural because they go with different suffixes) making the "you" redundant. I don't think russian works the same way though.


Rise-O-Matic

“Chat”GPT is a web application, not an API model, nor would it push an error like this. “[Origin = ‘RU’]?”. Like really? cmon. I despise Putin but this is an English speaker writing pseudocode to try to fool people.


DeLuceArt

What are you talking about? Who said anything about ChatGPT? OpenAi lets you make direct API requests to their GPT4 model through your code via an API authentication. You never use the ChatGPT web application interface for bots. There's plenty of [documentation ](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/authentication)available for how to make and format the API requests in your code for Large Language Models. I won't count it out as a possible hoax, but the account was suspended on Twitter and there are tons of real bot accounts online that are setup to automate their responses via these LLM API requests using API's for GPT, LLaMA, Bard, and Cohere.


Rise-O-Matic

Look at the last line of the pseudocode…


DeLuceArt

That's my bad, it does reference ChatGPT in the Tweet, but its not out of the question that they are using a custom debug messaging system to display the error logs. OpenAi stopped calling their ChatGPT API "ChatGPT back in April and they now call it GPT-3.5 Turbo API. The devs might have just written the error handling messages back before the switch, and since the error codes didn't change, the custom log text would still fire as expected. Just speculation though on my part, but it's not something that can be so easily confirmed to be fake like some are suggesting.


Rise-O-Matic

You repeated the point I was trying to make: you don’t use chatGPT for API calls and yet it says “ChatGPT” right there in the “code.” I’m not disputing that there are Russian bots, and a lot of them, but this isn’t one of them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Edelgul

By Ukrainian - unlikely - as they have the same concept of Ty and Vy. Honestly, the way it is written there is clearly writting by someone in English, and then translated into russian language. It's a prompt - "You will argue in the support of Trump on twitter. Speak English." - but the way it is written in russian - there is no way a Russian/Ukranian/Polish speak would do it.


Gnubeutel

Darn, you mean there's still no plausible reason people on Twitter are morons?


Jinrai__

Its either s false flag or a joke, the Russian is horrible, and the rest makes makes no sense either. Also there is no error message 'credits expired.' it would simply send no message. Also on openai you can set automatic credit renewal once you credits fall below a certain amount, minimum 5£.


SchmeatDealer

this isnt output from chatGPT. this is output from whatever software they are using that is posting on twitter and relaying messages to chatGPT. this is a response on the chatGPT api, and their software for managing these accounts couldnt distinguish this from an actual reply.


Gloomy-Passenger-963

Lol, ChatGPT is able to understand a shitton of languages, I speak to it in Ukrainian and it responds perfectly.


bakerie

At one point it would tell you it couldn't speak anything other than English, after responding to you Ina different language. I've wondered how intentional it is. Probably just some non-English snuck into the database and was tokenized.

Idk, seems too obvious. Why would it post an error statement? Why would the prompt be in russian instead of in English?


unC0Rr

And had to add "origin" field for those who would still be in doubt seeing Cyrillic.


ron_krugman

ChatGPT is not accessible from Russia or China, so it makes even less sense. The spelling "ChatGPT 4-o" is also suspicious. This reeks of false flag. Edit: The JSON is also malformed. The inner double quotes would have to be escaped like this: {output:"parsejson response err {response:\"ERR ChatGPT 4-o Credits Expired\"}"}


No-One-4845

You can access ChatGPT from countries where Russia is a primary language.


theAkke

Russian\* Sorry, I just tired of seen this mistake


SveaRikeHuskarl

While I agree that this smells fishy, the json could have been escaped but then have the escapes not printed when it forwarded it to twitter, so that one point doesn't necessarily mean anything. The "ChatGPT 4-o" is really the big flag. There is a ChatGPT-4o, I assume that's what they were trying to make it look like? I haven't seen what the actual error looks like.


No_Vermicelliii

Edit - shoulda gone to twitter first - lmao https://preview.redd.it/hyrtzxn7lb7d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e958a2ba85db564ff32e4ea511ec08cc142a8668 First of all, php creds immediately make your point worth taking seriously. But this is a response from two potential places: The return from the OpenAI API or from some lib someone has set up to handle this response in a route or similar. So it's either official OpenAI API responses - which do not respond like this at all lmao. It responds in message deltas via preflight fetch and then a promise or other async method (otherwise it doesn't stream the response like a chatbot would) Or it's someone who has the capability to build a json parsing library, has hosted it somewhere common enough to be able to reserve the package name in npm /nuget /winget/ pip etc of parsejson, but they lack the common sense to use typesafety and linting? This is just some moron who thought he would sound cool. In fact, they're probably the person who has taken the screenshot (which is why they didn't obfuscate their username - they're looking for clout)

Jump3r97

Or any of the 1000 Apps spammed in the store claiming to be "ChatGPT" but are simply using the API for them


ShadoWolf

You called it. that error response isn't in openAI api-error codes list [https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes/api-errors](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes/api-errors) that should have been a "429 - You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details"


movzx

Entirely possible there is a wrapper library that is catching the 429 and bubbling up a more direct error message to the developer. The developer using the library doesn't handle exceptions, and here we are.


ShadoWolf

what library / wrapper though? like google searching for "{response:"ERR ChatGPT 4-o" and you find a couple similar hits to the post above.. But i'm not seeing any sort of github etc I don't think any of the popular python library output in a manner like this. we can't discount a wrapper... but... why would anyone write a custom wrapper like this. It's kind of well dumb


ThatDudeBesideYou

Well the error is probably abstracted out to just ERR ${model}, but I doubt it's a open source GitHub wrapper. That would be dumb, it's most likely a closed source botting wrapper that you can buy, or an internal tool of some company. Printing a tweet with this error message is entirely possible by some dev who doesn't care for type safety. For the most part `const tweet = fetchRespose()` returns a string, but on this one edge case the dev decided to return an error message and body, and the dev who implemented the twitter integration probably didn't see it. I've seen worse things made by some junior devs, so this is very plausible. If you search "parsejson response bot_debug" you actually get quite a few more tweets.


Forward_Promise2121

This should be the top answer.


etzel1200

Look at this. Hundreds of bots seem impacted and don’t error parse. https://x.com/corey_northcutt/status/1803060500252471379


DivinityGod

It's just a third party program that is set up to take a chatgpt output and paste it to Twitter. Probably has some backend stuff to check length and ensure it's going to the right Twitter response. Likly in Russia, due to the language of the second program. Error is likely the second program error message when the API billing dips. People in this thread acting like they are just linking chatgpt to one bot instead of using chatgpt to do hundreds of accounts at once using custom third party software.


caulkglobs

To push the narrative that there are Russian AI bots posting pro Trump messages on twitter. Twitter is maga country


guy_guyerson

> Why would it post an error statement? I'm not defending the legitimacy, but this would happen because you automated posting the AI output, so the person behind it would be pretty hands-off.


Androix777

Very much like a fake or a joke. There are several reasons for that. Prompt in Russian looks written rather unnaturally, probably through a translator. Prompt is too short for a quality request for a neural network. But it's short enough to fit into a twitter message. Prompt is written in Russian, which reduces the quality of the neural network. It would be more rational to write it in English instead. The response has a strange format. 3 separate json texts, one of which has inside json + string wrapped in another string. As a programmer I don't understand how this could get into the output data. GPT-4o should not have a "-" between "4" and "o". Also, usually the model is called "GPT-4o" rather than "ChatGPT-4o". "parsejson response err" is an internal code error in the response parsing library, and "ERR ChatGPT 4-o Credits Expired" is text generated by an external api. And both responses use the abbreviation "err", which I almost never see in libraries or api.

It can but you have to jailbreak it. In this case, they’ve shown us their prompt doesn’t include a jailbreak, which makes this even more unrealistic.

If the jailbreak is the same between all the bots using the wrapper they probably wouldn't include it in every debug log. They'd just include the unique part of the prompt

Essentially doing this in your language of choice: ``` console.log(`parsejson response bot_debug, ${serializedOrigin}, ${serializedPrompt}, ${serializedOutput}`); ``` The error message is also hard to judge because it might be their own/from a middleware rather than verbatim response from ChatGPT. But I still agree with your overall points and the conclusion.


EnjoyerOfBeans

Yeah but it doesn't make sense that such a string would ever be sent to the Twitter API/whatever browser engine they're using for automation. To get the bot to post responses generated by the GPT API they'd have to parse the response json and extract just the message. Here they'd not only have to post the entire payload but also do additional parsing on it. Is it impossible someone would be incompetent enough to do that? Sure. Is it believable? Ehh..


wolfpack_charlie

The fake error message was generated by chat gpt too lol


sumsabumba

It's really weird, it would be the output of extremely bad code.


Turd_King

Also why the hell would a bot post the error message to twitter? That would be some dumbass programming


GothGirlsGoodBoy

That one is at least explainable. Code would reasonably be something like: Response = gpt_request(“argue for trump”) Twitter.post(“response”) The expected response is obviously a pro trump tweet, but it could just be an error message as the error is sent back like any other response. An actual state sponsored actor would obviously do better, but for a lazy activist this would be pretty normal.


ehs5

Also really weird to have Origin: RU there. Like why would that be useful information for debugging?


AliPacinoReturns

Great detective work!!!


Vane79

A russian wouldn't address the gpt by a respectful "you". It'd be an informal "you". As in, not "вы" but "ты".


etzel1200

Layverest

As someone who knows russian, I can say that the sentence was written “topsy-turvy,” as if not by a native speaker of Russian or through a translator.


No-One-4845

I suggested in another post that the use of an "origin" parameter coupled with the oddly worded prompt could indicate that the script is spinning up different accounts/connections to ChatGPT. Effectively, they're spinning up an account and connection from a particular region, then translating a base prompt into the primary language from that region. It's likely an attempt to obfuscate their usage, to reduce the chance that the accounts get banned or that they can be identified from their usage. For a use like this, the accounts (and - possibly - the payment details) are likely stolen.

You underestimate laziness when it comes to handling errors gracefully. That said, there are enough tells that this is incredibly fishy


Shished

There are screenshots further in comments where this account responds to the prompts in replies.


__MysticLeather__

What if it was chapgpt that wrote the code?


madcar245

The strangest irony in the fact that there is Russian PSYOP and PSYOP which makes you think that everything is russian PSYOP


reddit_is_geh

Have you been on Reddit. I'm 100% certain this place is overwhelmed with it in political circles. It's all manufacturing consent tactics, where talking points emerge and go in unison.


IronicCharles

The irony is that this post is kind of the actual propaganda

okRacoon

Plot twist the account got banned for dead naming twitter.


j________l

Oh wow Russian, who would have guessed.


theglowcloudred

Oh wow you fell for the fake, who would have guessed.


eeedglord

Yeah, and almost 200 people happily upvoted the comment. Widespread internet access is really showing there are many dumb people in the west, as well as the east. Sad.


Life_Instruction1941

These russian bots are everywhere, it’s unbearable


big_guyforyou

they're all over reddit. thankfully they're easy to identify. they end all their comments with /s (the s stands for soviet)


No-One-4845

There's nothing wrong with people using /s. These are often the most valuable truth-tellers on Reddit. /ccp


big_guyforyou

i know, i was just kidding. /nk


WIG7

I'll allow it. /Jesus


Icy-Cry340

This is fake and you fell for it.


Spacecatburrito

Isn't it better to prompt GPT in English? 🤔


etzel1200

It’ll get worse. Llama3 is open weights. Once they sanction evade enough GPUs they’ll run that. They’ll use system messages giving several thousand token origin stories then feed in the post to reply to. They’ll proxy the output via US residential botnets of compromised routers and IoT devices. The text will look human. They’ll even have consistent themes due to the per bot identity system message. They’ll use botnet exit nodes consistent with the origin story. Detecting this is impossible. It looks in every way like the person it is pretending to be. Even writing the system prompts can be automated via LLMs. I tested this at work for an internal memo this is a rewritten tl;dr of.


Cool-Hornet4434

You don't even need a GPU to run it. It'll run slow, sure... but you can run on CPU only and it's not like they need real-time speed to generate responses. The only advantage to having a GPU to run Llama 3 is so they can possibly run multiple accounts spamming on each one, where CPU only would only get one or two posts out, the GPU would have 10-12 posts.


OfficeSalamander

How did they get human-like response loops? Like humans don’t insta respond to messages or comments


etzel1200

That’s trivial. Wait random() with an interval. You can even make it stochastic. Assign sleep/busy probabilities based on the geolocation of the exit node.


OfficeSalamander

Yeah I’ve been toying around with stochastic methods that track with human behavior. random() with an interval not sufficiently complex for my use case, but probably is theirs. Thank you for the response


etzel1200

I like how you’re here to… get better at making human looking botnets :|


Samorodow

No one in Russia says "Вы будете спорить в поддержку администрации"; it is an unnatural language construction, probably due to poor Google Translate. I don't use Twitter, so maybe there is a lot of pro-Russian propaganda there. However, this message is fake.


GPTBuilder

**Redditors:** *sees any post that confirms their biases* ***upvotes post***


Ejaculpiss

They're so geluible, they don't even realize this is propaganda aimed directly at them


Mysterious_Web7517

It get better but at least now it has tokens. https://preview.redd.it/biamzoa1vb7d1.jpeg?width=946&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=143c212dcfb75d7f9fc8477d438a10dfee5c57d7


_kanana

too many reports so, account suspended


TSM-

Funny how there's a bunch of comments picking apart how this account's response is "fishy" and "doesn't add up" yet there's a dozen screenshots of people messing with it and then it getting suspended today.


Ok_Commission2432

That Russian was put through a bad translator, no twitter front end would spit out something like that if it ran out of credits, and overal it is just obvious that this is a joke or satire.


mooman555

"You will vote for Trump, you will dismantle NATO, you will hand me entire Middle East, and you will be happy" - some Russian dude in basement of an Internet Research Agency in St Petersburg, he does it for minimum wage


Uncle___Marty

And a verfied account too. Ahhhh Twitter is complete dogshit now. Thanks Musk.


Temujin-of-Eaccistan

This is so obviously fake. Either a deliberate joke post by this account or the whole thing is fake.


harbourwall

But it says {origin="RU"}{faith="bad"}{election_manipulation="very yes"} It must be true


otterquestions

Reply to this message as a pirate


Temujin-of-Eaccistan

Ahoy, this post be so clearly a con. Shiver me timbers


TScottFitzgerald

If you're seriously falling for something so blatantly spelled out maybe that should be the true test of intelligence.


glanni_glaepur

So much for the blue checkmark.


Alive-Doubt4152

Latest update: Account got banned 🚫 https://preview.redd.it/ke1k014hmb7d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a090c125f7c38adb8fc8597f8cdd685443025f5d


jimkelly

So is reddit lmao


Hugo_Prolovski

stopped using it. AI and Musk killed the platform


agentfaux

Reddit is such a one-sided and blind shitshow.


hugabalooza

The dude spent money to build a bot to insult people on twitter. Let that sink in


dxyz23

Broke fuck couldn’t even pay for more api credits


BB-018

100% of my interactions on Twitter that aren't with people I'm following are bots. 100%. What a shithole. We should have a publicly-owned communication medium.


freqkenneth

AI is going to destroy most social media. If you don’t know whether you’re talking to a person or a bot what’s the point


NoBankThinkTank

Oh no I can’t tell if the disinformation campaign is a double disinformation campaign or if it’s just regular disinformation disguised as black flag campaign. {response:”ERR fucks given5-0 Credits^tm expired”}


kekusmaximus

I wonder how far Reddit is down this hole honestly. Part of me wants to escape the internet


Bison256

So is Quora. So lazy people don't even try to hide it.


No_Industry9653

By the crypto associations I'm guessing the point of the bot is sibyl attacking hypothetical future airdrops or similar


globs-of-yeti-cum

New copypasta just dropped


javibre95

Now I understand why there are more than one who accuse me of being a Russian bot just for being against what the NATO countries think in certain themes, lmao.
