A Hacker News Upvote Is Apparently Worth £3.80(upwork.com) |
Armies of bots pushing particular stories on a set of news outlets? AI controlled accounts with sole purpose to downvote (make 'disappear') particular stories? On many sites, AI controlled accounts vastly outnumbering human controlled ones? (turning humans into powerless minority). Websites using methods to verify that users are actually human? (like, send copy of ID or similar). Webs of trust, of people 'vetted' by each other to be real people? AI pushing content so fanatically & everywhere that most of the web turns into garbage blurb? (well.. even more than today ;-)
Interesting times...
especially to those downvoters-without-comment out there, fuck you all
In that case karma is useful to spot a story and several comments all of whom have single digit karma.
