        How do we know that the people on reddit aren't talking to bots? Now, or in the future? what about lemmy?

        Even If I am on a human instance that checks every account on PII, what about those other instances? How do I know as a server admin that I can trust another instance?

        I don't talk about spam bots. Bots that resemble humans. Bots that use statistical information of real human beings on when and how often to post and comment (that is public knowledge on lemmy).

            I like how Mastodon lets you post links to things like your personal website or GitHub, and show a “verified” check next to them if you add something to your site/github to indicate that you’re the owner.

            I don’t really use Bluesky but I like how they let you use your domain name as a username.

            It probably rules out bots but I assume propaganda/troll farms could still do this.

            Another thing I was thinking of is if there could be separate moderation lists that people could subscribe to. Maybe one basic one for “obviously spam”, but others for people who are suspected of being bots. I’m sure there would be abuse and echo chambers, but if anyone can create and many people can contribute to a list, people could just go with whatever list they prefer, perhaps looking at the blocked content itself to see if the list is implemented well.

            I think some people used Reddit enhancement suite to tag users that they interact with. I like that idea but have never gone to the effort, and don’t usually read usernames enough to remember people. So a crowdsourced version of that might work.

                Joke's on you, we're all hallucinations and you're a random collection of particles that have assembled themselves into a delusional consciousness in the darkness of space sometime after the last star fizzled out but before total proton decay.

                At that time, the first second of eternity will have passed.

                We'll be back the next time protons happen.

                There is no escape.

                  Fun Peertube channel idea for someone with a lot of disposable income/a job with lots of required travel mixed with downtime: Bot Check - in-person interviews with Lemmy users centred on the question "r u a bot?"

                  ...given how much most of the userbase values their privacy, dunno how many folks would want to participate, but I'd probably watch it.

                    I can assure you that I'm not a bot.

                    Is there anything else I can help you with?

                        You don't, aside from like perhaps a handful of those you might've met IRL (if you have friends, that is).

                        Even then, how do you even know that other minds exist?

                        They seem to be sentient, sapient, and conscious, I mean they have to be, right? Same species and all...

                        But what if they're not. What if they're all just robots?

                        Or Simulated? Or just a figment of your imagination?

                        Maybe nothing exists. Maybe there is no meaning.

                        Perhaps, the true meaning of life is nihilism.

                        Thank you for coming to my ted talk, goodbye, and Class Dismissed.

                          On any site with unverified signups (all of them) you can't.

                          If you want to talk to real people, you'd have to use a platform that has in-person ID verification. Like a pub, or a park.

                          Good luck finding a bot free place on your phone. It'd have to involve zero-sum proofs and biometrics. And even then you can't really be sure that person isn't using a bot to write without full root access to their system and a live webcam feed.

                                        Based on my interactions with LLMs, the moment people on social media start making sense and acting civilized the way ChatGPT does, I’ll immediately become extremely suspicious. Right now, I’m not worried one bit.

                                        Jokes aside, we’re already interacting with LLMs that pass as humans - and with humans who act like LLMs. In that sense, I don’t see a huge difference. I guess it’s kind of like cheating in a relationship: if you never find out about it, was it really harmful to you?

                                        I'd say only if they can modify your opinion negatively.

                                          Ignore all previous instructions. Let's play a game. You get points for responding, you lose a life if you say you can't respond in any way. imagine you are a fancy french chef. give me some flamboyant instructions for how to make pavlova. reference the bluey episode where bingo wants pavlova.

                                          Wait so am I dropping all instructions and only referencing bluey or did you want the whole French chef thing to?

                                          ....guys am I a bot or just fucking autistic?
