Shoutout to @futurebird who has been a spam-banning machine.
Based on some dodgy regex queries and the limited reach of my instance, it looks like the number of spam affected servers is trending down but the number of spam posts is still actually trending up.
The #AI #spamapocalypse is coming. And it’ll be here sooner than you think, because we still don’t have laws for:
1. Requiring #ML firms to produce tools capable of detecting the output of their models
2. Outlawing counterfeiting of humanity
I’m not a Doomer, but it seems lawmakers might not respond swiftly enough.
Therefore, we need to start researching #HumanVerification sooner rather than later.
A last-ditch effort risks laying down the groundwork for tyranny.

@Daojoan The #AI #spamapocalypse is coming!
At this point, I urge us to look forward. Much beyond watermarking and writing legislation that forces the companies producing the models to also produce tools detecting their use.
We should already be looking towards protocols of human verification. And specificallt such that operate in a way that still allowing an acceptable level of anonymity.
It is possible, but not as last-ditch effort.

@noellemitchell There’s also a simple, two-pronged legislation that would be effective in combating this:
1. Counterfeiting people should be illegal
2. Any company manufacturing tools to do that, should be legally bound to also produce the tools of detecting it

Listen to this episode from The Poetry of Reality with Richard Dawkins on Spotify. In this interview with philosopher Dan Dennett, we discussed his brilliant book I've Been Thinking and the evolution of not just humankind, but of language and culture. We explored questions like: What is the future of human consciousness? And what role do AI technology and deep fakes play in our understanding of truth and reality? _______________________ Join Substack: https://richarddawkins.substack.com/Subscribe to Poetry of Reality Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmwfdgHA_R9fzr1L0_hxdVw Follow: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.poetry.of.reality/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RichardDawkinsBooks Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ThePoetryofReality
"In February, AskHistorians and several other subreddits were hit by a coordinated bot attack using ChatGPT. The automated system of bots was caught inputting questions asked on AskHistorians into ChatGPT, and then spitting out responses through an army of shill accounts, says Gilbert. "
