Its CO2, not propane.

We know its Google.

You don't have the whole context. The relevance of it being interstellar is that, at the speeds it was travelling, it should have vaporized completely when entering out atmosphere. The fact that pieces survived reentry is anomalous, as it indicates that it must have been made from alloys not naturally present in any other object that we've seen entering out atmosphere from outer space.

If those alloys are natural (but never seen before) or artificial (and so created by some other intelligence), that's the question here.

Think of the fediverse as a federation of states, some bigger, some smaller, but all in the same ballpark. Threads had 10M signups just yesterday, which is more than the whole existing fediverse combined. Federating with them would be like the US adding China as a state - it would immediately be the biggest state by far, and would have the power to set politics for all others. And we know what sort of politics they would set, right?

One of its answers in a thread was the classic "as a language model, I am not able to (...)"

At least one post was defending reddit in r/programming has been shown to be chatGPT, that's for sure. If they have one bot, who's to say they don't have thousands?

The thing is that first you pay in order to avoid ads, but ads will start creeping in on the paid version in no time. Some day you'll find yourself paying and still seeing as many ads as they decide to push. The same has been done in other platforms. Cable TV didn't have ads when I was a kid, "because it was paid".

Revanced stopped working for me a few weeks ago now. It will just play like the first minute of a video, and then get stuck on an infinite loading. Searching the web for that issue, I got the idea that my account was flagged somehow. I've tried uninstalling ans reinstalling and it doesn't help. Tried it again after a few weeks to see if it had started working again, no luck.

Those bots wouldn't pass the turing test, that's for sure. One thing is pure spam like you're describing, another is to be arguing with an AI (and losing) without even being aware that it's an AI on the other side.

The problem with chatGPT is that it allows for automation of content creation.

Imagine a a single guy using chatGPT to control thousands of social media bots, who answer in a human-like way and are able to follow conversations and context, but who all defend the same point of view.

Or imagine a single guy controlling thousands of "local news blogs" that have a constant stream of fresh AI-generated content (both articles and comments), once again all pushing the same narrative.

That is the main problem with things like chatGPT, if not controlled - they allow anyone to create their own "troll farm".

The criteria is that you don't sound like a bot or spammer.
