there needs to be a law that in order to sell something in a store a real person needs to examine it.

if the bots get so effective at mimicking users that they start to generate useful information that is also a win.

It feels like you’re making the argument that both random users wouldn’t approve anything in the first paragraph and they would readily approve bots in the fourth.

The reality is most users would probably be fairly permissive but might be delayed in their authorizations (ex they’re offline). If a bot acts enough like a person it probably won’t get caught right away but its likely whoever did let it in will be barred from authorizing people. I’m not saying this is a perfect solution but I would argue its an improvement over existing systems as over time users that are better at sussing out bots will likely be the largest group able to authorize people.

I’d imagine there would need to be an option for whoever was an authorization was made to (the authorizor) to start a DM chain with the requesting account.

I think an off the shelf microlab that can reliably synthesize a particular medicine is something that’s commercially viable, which is probably a safe middle ground here and sort of what they’re proof of concepting.

Rather than putting together a DIY lab like this, a pre-made kit that makes one medication would easily make a ton of meds available. Not just here but all around the world.

I would say the next step would probably be to create a certification process for microlabs categorizing their safety and effectiveness

Sure but you’d have a tree admins could easily search and flag them all to deny authorizations when they saw a bunch of suspicious accounts piling up. Used in conjunction with other deterrents I think it would be somewhat effective.

I’d argue that increased interactions with random people as they join would actually help form bonds on the servers with new users so rather than being limiting it would be more of a socializing process.

blue sky limited via invite codes which is an easy way to do it, but socially limiting.

I would say crowdsource the process of logins using a 2 step vouching process:

1. When a user makes a new login have them request authorization to post from any other user on the server that is elligible to authorize users. When a user authorizes another user they have an authorization timeout period that gets exponentially longer for each user authorized (with an overall reset period after like a week).

2. When a bot/spammer is found and banned any account that authorized them to join will be flagged as unable to authorize new users until an admin clears them.

Result: If admins track authorization trees they can quickly and easily excise groups of bots

then perish

If I was exempt from copyright, I too could easily make oodles of money

I doubt they’d extradite a military contractor. Likely Musk would have to cut a deal behind closed doors.

Its a shutdown for non-compliance with a law.

The law in non-compliance is an attempt to shut down misinformation related to an election where x refused to appoint a court representative. Rather than fight the battle in court they chose to just shut down brazil changing x from a brazil represented company to basically a purely foreign company similar to RT in the US.

Like there’s a difference between showing up to court to fight for free speech and shutting down your offices so you can’t argue your case.

how are people supposed to pay starlink if their accounts are frozen? is starlink offering free internet?

great video. Its wild that it is functioning as an IR emitter and just beaming things into space.

so it radiates heat into the vehicle?

wouldn’t this also work on buildings? pavement?

there’s no valid reason to support this except some dystopian ass shit

deadlines are just, like, your opinion, man

as jesus intended

nice. This won’t backfire

Next you’re going to tell me the People’s Republic of North Korea isnt a Republic?

Clarence Thomas needs a new RV, which one will google buy him?
