So you say that blinking star and color flashing in the signature isn't you communicating with the AI main computer?

No, I say nothing of the sort. DON'T put words in my mouth please.

a reply to: nerbot
I am sorry. It was a joke in retrospective to the other thread where we had the topic bots.

I did not mean to put words in your mouth.

Oh I see it is this one. Again, it was not meant rude.

What do you mean with basic metrics?

a reply to: nerbot

What do these flashing lights mean? Especially the base sequence. It is always the same pattern just getting faster...

well, a few months ago, everyone wanted the Bernman to win. now, MightyJoe has been the number one 'trend' on twtitter for weeks now. and minions retweet the trend and also believe in it, thinking, 'look at all these other people who are switching sides, i better switch sides too...'

i sent a friend a link to the BilllGates website about how they had a fake pandemik scenario in october, conveniently a few weeks before it all went down. this guy gripes me about sending something politikal, yet all he does is post left sided cnnnmtvfoxnewz type pictures.

when i tell people join the outsiders, think for yourself, they think im crazy, because they have been indoctrinated their entire lives to believe nytimez.

ive had friends get rid of me, because they listen to the newz, instead of looking right at me and knowing me for years.

thats how scary it is. and ive seen it now more than ever with this pandemik bullsh!t.

so when i see minionspeak 'trending' on twitter, and its number one, no joke, i get sad.

you cannot argue with them.

if you want to annoy a rational logical man, you tell him a lie. if you want to annoy the foolish minion, you tell him the truth.

You mean that the narrative could be steered trough bots, because they make you feel like the heard is heading left and as we are heard animals we stay with the heard?

Where have all the free thinking individusls gone? The dark net?

Run by humans? That defies its purpose doesn't it?

Aren't there learning algorithms, maybe a human gets assigned to a bot and over a period of time the bot learnd all the behavior and responses from you, then moves on to the next human?

My guess is its to do with Close Encounters

Chat bot's are getting more and more advances, all they really are is a database built up by observing and replicating human interactions but even though they are NOT as they are wrongly called artificially intelligent they can fool even some of the smartest people in the world when they chat with them, unless they put them through some tests.

a reply to: NoConspiracy

I just don't believe the average person can tell.

What do you mean with basic metrics?

Botometer: an application developed by the Indiana University Network Science Institute (IUNI) and the Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research (CNetS).
Botcheck.me: a Chrome extension developed by two students at the University of California, Berkley. It specifically detects political propaganda bots.
Tweetbotornot: an open-source package for developers created by Michael Kearney, a professor at the Informatics Institute in the University of Missouri.

These are a couple of the free services that "analyze" the metrics and data on Twitter specifically.

I do not know how accurate any of the info is and have not used these before.

And exactly these tests is what I was interested in.... Are they simple questions you ask, or how would such a test look like?

a reply to: mysterioustranger

So what skill set would one need to have to be sble tp tell?

@NoConspiracy,

You ask them this question:

"You see a turtle in the desert on its back, it will die if you do not flip it back. Why do you not flip it back on it's belly???"

a reply to: ThatDamnDuckAgain

Or,

Tell me about your mother.

If the reply is "My mother?" and then you get blasted in the face you know its a bot.

ColoradoJens was faster but here you go

I used to always on the lookout for hot bots when I was younger and drinking....now that you think about it, they were bods, but heck I was drunk and didn't realize there was a difference.
