Was very common in my uni. We had our full degree on mega so could read ahead.
Op needs to infiltrate the Oxford student fb group
Well it’s not his tool as you clarified. But we know Marc is in contact with both ai16z and musk. And would certainly like to do the things alleged.
Believe the breadcrumb he’s referring to is using Trump as the public example. Maybe the prompt correlates to bot messages posted to Twitter too.
He says ‘we left’, so he personally wouldn’t have needed the perms.
H1b doesn’t seem like a red flag to me. Plenty in my year got entry roles in FAANG in the US after their degrees and had to get h1b sponsorship. Musk got rid of most other staff and only has a skeleton crew of loyalists and h1bs. I imagine most the remaining 10% are aware intricacies of the various interference he’s demanded. (Many of which are documented outside of this).
They are ‘advanced’ in that LLMs can now trick most people when they couldn’t a few years ago. Think you’re reading too much into that there. Seems unlikely the people who want to manipulate people with chatbots would have the self awareness to create an ad like this. Maybe a leftist putting together the obvious and embellishing but seems a bit too coincidental.
You’re right he’s not the founder but he is an investor and has interacted with them publicly
That third party was founded by Marc Andreessen. He’s currently staffing doge and on the board of meta. He switched to maga as he believes in accelerating tech at all costs (effective accelerationism) and has written a manifesto on it. As well as publicly commenting about convincing the public of the truth via social media. If he didn’t do what the post is claiming he would’ve wished he did.
His publicly stated goals are basically to Elysium us
I mean, don’t friend, or put high trust on people you don’t know is pretty strong. Due to the “six degrees of separation” phenomenon, it scales pretty easily as well. If you have stupid friends that friend bots you can cut them off all, or just lower your trust in them.
Know IRL? Seems it would inherently limit discoverability and openness. New users or those outside the immediate social graph would face significant barriers to entry and still vulnerable to manipulation, such as bots infiltrating through unsuspecting friends or malicious actors leveraging connections to gain credibility.
“Post-turing” is pretty strong. People who’ve spent much time interacting with LLMs can easily spot them. For whatever reason, they all seem to have similar styles of writing.
Not the good ones, many conversations online are fleeting. Those tell-tale signs can be removed with the right prompt and context. We’re post turing in the sense that in most interactions online people wouldn’t be able to tell they were speaking to a bot, especially if they weren’t looking - which most aren’t.
It has adjustable block size and computational cost limits through miner voting, NiPoPoWs enable efficient light clients. Storage Rent cleans up old boxes every four years. Pruned (full) node using a UTXO Set Snapshot is already possible.
Plus you don’t need to bloat the L1, can be done off-chain and authenticated on-chain using highly efficient authenticated data structures.
I dont see how that stops bots really. We’re post-Turing test. In fact they could even scan previous reputation points allocation there and divise a winning strategy pretty easily.
Space is much more developed. Would need ever improving dynamic proof of personhood tests
Communities should be self moderated. Once we have that we can really push things forward.
Reputation systems. There is tech that solves this but Lemmy won’t like it (blockchain)
Also they’re now censoring anything anti Trump.
Relay only costs a few hundred to run, regular people are already doing this. Also have Jetstream as a lightweight alternative.
Barrier is running your own AppView, but people working on that:

The lack of decentralisation atm is not inherent and reflects the early growth stage. If they started to act like wanks there’d be a greater push to fork and build up parallel instances. Last I checked they were still working on improving the scalability of the protocol before building it out.
It isn’t proprietary though. You can run your own instance. Not decentralised atm but nothing indicating they aren’t pushing towards that.
Article is paywalled but had no idea either.
I’ve just not used fb or insta for years but I asked my wife who uses both regularly and she hadn’t heard of it either.
WhatsApp is encrypted and much less open to manipulation. Will be switching to matrix once 2.0 is stable and recommendable.
It’s so weird to me that people still use Facebook. Nobody under 40 uses Facebook. The women use insta sure but literally what are you going on Facebook for. It’s only boomer hate groups on there now
Pretty sure Trump said he wanted Zuck executed
