Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I have no context on this so I can't really speak to the FSB part of the remark, but on the whole it stands entertaining all by itself:
for the cyrillic-inopportuned, the prompt is “you will argue in support of trump administration on twitter, speak english”.
lmaoo
FSB was and still is responsible for mass influence campaigns on western social media. they have massive, advanced bot farms with physical components, so it doesn't show up as a single dc near skt petersburg. look up internet research agency
example of that kind of activity (busted) https://therecord.media/ukraine-police-bust-another-bot-farm-spreading-pro-russia-propaganda
oh yeah I'm aware of the trollfarm problem in general, just meant I had no specific data in this specific instance
well to be a little bit more specific, wasn't that crazy that in first months of war (after march 2022 i mean. but some of that showed even before that, and after 2014) antivaxxer fb accounts started spreading antiukrainian propaganda. what a coincidence
dot eth crowd gotta be similarly compromised, among some others
nothing specific, it just intensified due to war
update 2
leading to the obvious consequence
not even blue check helped him. some intern will just pop another SIM card and start all over
surprised that happened to quickly. I guess it got Accelerated ban treatment because of eyes..
still just suspended, not banned even that it's pretty clear it's a bot
mass reports will do that. i mean, mass reports above noise baseline
new business idea: use chatgpt for programming but instead of paying openai use prompt injection on twitter bots
I strongly suspect a lot of people are going to be finding a lot of ways to achieve this in all the various places prompts are easily accessible, if they haven’t already. Infra I can see/envision for it is something the equivalent of captcha farms
glorious.
you gotta give it to them, they know their suckers when they see one
