Nice to see that @himawari_wpac has been back up and posting for a while with no crashes. Not sure what caused the last crash exactly, but hope the error reporting is robust enough now that I'll be able to figure it out. #bots
Is there a way to automatically mute accounts identified as being a bot? If not, I think that would be a great feature. That and automatic muting of accounts with posts predominantly not written in your native language. I wish I was multilingual but unfortunately I'm not. #mute#bots#posts#language
I wrote a short post about my experience Anthropic and their Claudebot AI here in Mastodon a week or two ago. I had reached out to their support email address and received an instant auto notice saying that they got my email and a human would reply soon. Well, it’s been a week or two and no reply. My advice to everyone is to block Claudebot. Seems pretty AI scammy, complete with empty promises.
「 The prevalence of bot traffic was observed across all sectors, with Gaming (57.2%) witnessing the most significant proportion of bad bot traffic. Simultaneously, Retail (24.4%), Travel (20.7%), and Financial Services (15.7%) experienced the highest volume of bot attacks 」
Now the question is: Is it finally time to move @blackjoy off #CBTS, give it a more functional and flexible codebase, and run it on my own box? 🤔 (And do I have enough time and energy to do it before I get distracted by IRL again?) #bots
Started a new hard-surface modeling project in MagicaCSG.
By posting works in progress here, I force myself to turn this into something interesting, or I will be unmasked as an impostor, and eternal embarrassment will be my fate. 😅
ClaudeBot is new to me, it’s an AI bot, and it was hitting us fast and hard from 398 IP addresses non-stop for over an hour, completely shutting down our site. Using fail2ban we managed to block it, but WTF is wrong with these people. Claudebot comes from these people: https://www.anthropic.com/
that claim “Anthropic is an AI safety and research company working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.” Probably best if you block them before they get to your sites.
Sorry to go against the current here, but on a fundamental level Elon isnt wrong about #bots
Douchebag no1 is just a bit simple in assuming money is an efficient form of human-verification, and thinking that people won’t turn it against him (Or maybe that’s what he needs for his crew to love him 🤷♂️)
We’re going to need working human-verification systems. #fediverse might be one of them for now, but even here we might sink in artificially intelligent flood eventually
So the rudderless leader of one of the world's biggest bot farms is declaring war on bots by charging new users for the "privilege" of posting on the bot farm and interacting with bots.
#askmastodon#askfedi#bots#botstuff - since i dont see an option for subscribing whole server and i would love to be able to see some random stuff from certain server on my feed, would it be considered malicious if i would have a bot that would boost all post on such server? Or maybe there is more elegant solution apart from persuading all server’s users to use certain hashtags?
