I reduced the posting frequency of some of the bots I've made recently, so if you've avoided them before for being too noisy, consider giving them a try now!
@dalereardon I haven't really touched Twitter's API in months. If I remember correctly, the API for writing is now free, and you have to pay for reading? If that's the case, you might just have to scrape the data.
"For distorted text fields, humans took 9-15 seconds with an accuracy of just 50-84 percent. Bots, on the other hand, beat the tests in less than a second with 99.8 percent accuracy."
@root42, I believe the APIs can be used to only request specific datums, e.g. not request anything else but proof of humanness. If in some country that's not possible, which would be surprising, there can be a trusted platform provider who only relays attestation that a person is human.
i am so traumatized from #bots pretending to be #human on twitter that from now on i only want to follow accounts that are run by actual ppl, but idk what to believe now that checkmarks don't mean anything anymore. even on ppl's personal websites, ppl anonymize so much about their online presence now — i'm guessing out of fear of losing their jobs? that or their entire online presence revolves around their work & that's not what i'm looking for
@br00t4c publications are usually brutal about describing a study but not linking to it, but they usually at least give you a hint. I finally found a different article that at least named an author, and from there the paper - it's the most recent work listed here
