The majority of pro AI spam on the fediverse gets spread by just a handful of accounts. Usually it is people posting to one of the big “tech” pages from pro-AI PAC websites (that 74million dot org bullshit for example) or one of the billionaire mouthpiece outlets (futurism, ars technica, biz insider), and then they cross-post and repost everywhere else.
This strategy makes it so the only ways to stop seeing the shit is to get really good with personal filters or (more likely) users will block the spammer account and the communities that allow them. Notice how both of these methods also tend to block people who are bashing AI.
Seems like a behavior we need to figure out how to call out and get mods to help with? I guess Fuck AI people should start volunteering to mod Tech news? Oh no, what have I logically walked myself into…
i’ll be more clear, people who are not yet arrived at my premise on their own are not my audience with this post
It’s the internet, not your front door. We’re not attacking you, we want proof to aid in combating this.
