I wonder if it would be possible to plant an instruction bomb somewhere on the page which would trip up LLM-powered bots. I dunno how much of the page they take in.
ameancow@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
If you have a personal web-page or blog, you can easily poison your content just my making white text on white background or something.
But that’s only for the current models of LLM, next gen might easily bypass those kinds of tricks. We’re cooked, yo.

I literally just saw a thread of these comments on a video. It was like 100 comments deep as well.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
It’s morbidly amusing that spammers all use the same service, the same way (the cheapest OpenAI API, I guess?)
And a silver lining. I could finetune a dirt cheap open model as a SEO/Engagement bot with very different styles, but ‘spammer culture’ seems to mass around the most popular denomenators when they find one.
In other words, its fortunate the spambots are such junk when they could easily not be, for much less money per post.

In other words, its fortunate the spambots are such overpriced junk when they could easily not be.
The ones you notice are overpriced junk. I’m convinced that this is on purpose, to make us less suspicious of the more convincing bots

Everything good comes in threes. 2 emojis would have been too few, and 4 emojis would have been exhausting.

You know they’re fake because real YouTube commentors only have two modes:
“Who’s watching in 2025” and “No one: Not a single soul:”

Don’t worry, sometimes the bots do that first one and use some future year like 2036 to farm engagement.

And this is because it works. Horny men see the minuscule thumbnail: “OMG it’s a hot woman!”, then click it, see the link in the profile, and get scammed.

The worst is when you see a low sub count channel owner respond with the sincerest gratitude, like it really made their day to get such a supportive comment. I never have the heart to tell them, but I do try to leave an actual supportive comment of my own to sort of balance it out

Am I the only one who has assumed any account using the format “Firstname LastName” since the early 2000’s is a not, because real people generally make creative usernames?
I know it doesn’t exactly work in the age of Twitter, where so many people were never taught basic online safety guidelines, which included NOT USING YOUR REAL GOD DAMN NAME, but old habits die hard.

for whatever reason i ended up with my real name on youtube for a while, but thankfully you can just fucking lie and say your name is “Squirr Elanna”
melvisntnormal@feddit.uk 1 day ago
I’ve had my Google account for over a decade. At some point, I noticed my YouTube handle was just my name, and I don’t remember setting it to that.
On pretty much all websites, I have a default username I try to use, but I don’t remember getting that option when making a Google account

At some point YouTube tried to force you to use your real name.

r4venw@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Google defaults new accounts to use the name they use for their email account unless you make a “brand account” IIRC which is actually fucking stupid
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 day ago
These are all almost names in the same way. It makes me wonder if they’re variants in a language I’ve never seen before or (imo more likely) someone prompted ai for women’s usernames and it got confused by the cutesy ways people used to augment their names for usernames.
rottingleaf@lemmy.world 1 day ago
There’s a counterpoint to that. In real hard truth, nobody is anonymous and creative handles can be traced back to a name easily.
But having pseudonyms affects human psychology. And makes people post things they wouldn’t want to be traced to them. And do things.
There was a time when it seemed that everything is insecure. That time didn’t end. Just with HTTPS everywhere and encrypted everything and with glossy appearances people have genuinely lost all understanding of the real world.
They think, metaphorically, that if there’s no name written on their door, everyone who asks can’t learn who they are.

Oh wow, I was like “interesting, haven’t seen these” seeing the three emojis and stuff on yours
However
To test the theory, I (a car nut) went to one of the biggest automotive YouTubers, Mat Armstrong, who’s currently rebuilding his dad’s dream car and released the last video 2 days ago.
Two comments, different profile, same profile pic that, zoomed out enough, looks like a vagina. Go on the profile and they both look like this:

Rest assured, there was no bikini bottom, I just cropped that out

I’m using some AI to document some of my old scripts.
uploads script:
Prompt: Look at this script and prepare documentation in Confluence-compliant markdown that I can copy and paste. The documentation should be easy enough that someone unfamiliar with the subject can read and understand it, but should also be detailed enough not to miss any features. Add a summary, details, and a section on how to verify that the script ran correctly. Follow up with a section on possible bugs or improvements. No personality, no jokes, no puns. Professional text, just a plain old RTFM. And for the fucking love of god, no emoji, no EM dashes, no smart quotes or so help me god I’ll find out where you’re running and disconnect your GPU’s with an axe.
Did I mention no emoji?
