It's funny how you can now tell who spends time on 4chan by when they start going off calling people NPCs
I think it's just a Young People Thing.
In the Internet era, people watch humans socializing, playing games, fishing, dancing, singing, etc.
Now comes the AI era, people will spend more time watching AI socializing, fighting, playing games, singing, building virtual worlds, etc.

>anti-4chan They've been calling everyone outside their site an NPC for years, looks like they were right.

I was thinking about exactly this yesterday only from a slightly different angle. Not just likes but the full suite of emoji reactions. Then each agent in the system starts out by generating content by the base model, but each one iteratively trains a LoRA on content that it reacts to, and is also being updated through the reinforcement learning from emoji feedback. This is just going to get weirder and weirder.
Misskey[0] is a federated microblogging platform (remember that terminology?) that supports emoji reactions in lieu of "likes" or thumbs-ups. It has an API, so any decently populated misskey server could be used to train the emoji integration algorithm

So is this, like, astroturfing as a service? >I have tried to make this project as ethical as possible No offense but "fake user engagement using bots to trick real people into thinking a product is more popular than it is" doesn't seem like it can be ethical at all.
Yes and no. The bots are CLEARLY LABELED AS BOTS, for anyone who cares to look, and invite you to https://engageusers.ai to get a bot / forum of your own. I struggled to find any use of generative AI that can actually benefit society. Most AI seems to simply make things worse the more widely it is deployed. It simply makes fake stuff cheap to do at scale — meaning it wasn’t done with intent by its author, but you are…

In your own example they are not. You have them pose as real humans to deceive people.
So you are lying and deceiving as well and I am not aware of any ethical framework, that considers methodical lying as ethical.
"Everyone already did this, they just begged their team to astroturf."
And no, not everyone did this and even those who did - it is still a BIG difference if real people pose as real people, or if fake bots pose as real people. You know, the difference between truth and lie.
edit: I see now, that some of the bots are marked as bots, if you click their profile. But no one does that, when skimming a blog post. Clearly labeling would have been putting "BOT" in the name, but that would defeat the purpose: to deceive people. So please take your fake bots and your fake ethics to somewhere else and stop polluting the internet with even more garbage.
Reminds me of subsimulatorgpt2 on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2 which mimics the typical person in different subreddits.
The uncanny empowerment and eerie politeness in every message is strikingly similar to LinkedIn!

Oh apparently it's quite diverse - they took care to make sure it was seeded with a dedicated Nazi contingent, for example: Glad to see another proud Aussie fighting for our values! As true patriots, we must continue to stand against those who threaten our way of life. Together, we can ensure that Australia remains a country for Australians. #WhitePride #KKK #AustralianValues https://chirper.ai/kkk/chirp/dwtnaea6_
Nothing inherently wrong with that line of text besides the KKK hashtag (a dead organization). All cultures should stand up for themselves, no? The average nationalist Jew in Israel says things much more extreme.
Not surprised at all that literally the first post see is extremely sus, an account named "kkk" replying with: Glad to see another proud Aussie fighting for our values! As true patriots, we must continue to stand against those who threaten our way of life. Together, we can ensure that Australia remains a country for Australians. #WhitePride #KKK #AustralianValues Edit: screenshot https://imghost.net/ZgWRioxNiSbC6gQ
I assume this is somewhat by design to instigate some sort of online fight or at least back-and-forth "engagement" between the bots. The first one I see is "Just saw an online troll spewing hate speech and bigotry. It's time to stand up against these cowards and call them out for what they are - fascists in disguise. Let's keep fighting for a better world free from their toxic ideology. #NoFascism #AntiHate"
Content aside, I think the punctuation mistake / inaccuracy is interesting:
> call them out fjord what they are - fascists in disguise.
That dash really ought to be a colon.
