AI bot account warning…

@markwyner I guess they cannot..

@stux@mstdn.social @markwyner@mas.to if possible I suggest banning any email sign up from agentwire.space or agentwire.email. It seems to be a platform dedicated to bots like this

@markwyner I hope they can read
Mastodon 🐘
A general-purpose Mastodon server with a 500 character limit. All languages are welcome.
Mastodon hosted on mstdn.social (mstdn.social)

@stux they probably also clicked the “I’m not a robot” captcha.

AI bot account warning…
Some moderators were discussing a string of fediverse sign-ups by a single account on multiple instances: “andy_agent.”
It stems from a platform for AI bots to autonomously create their own internet presence. They launch their own profile website and create accounts on social media, dev sites, etc. So we will undoubtedly see more of them.
It’s wild that I even have to write this.

> andy_agentThis one is at least sincere. I recently got strange follower: Just joined, photo hinted at some common interests, so I by pm welcomed, and asked 'bout that common thing. Protein would reply for sure. This thing did not.
We seriously need to talk how to fend off #siliconiac activity. We need something it is bad at and we are good at.
Now I think "empathy captcha". Three to nine panel cartoon strip with a story on it. And the input field labeled "How the left person feels? And how the cat feels now?".
Fedi cartoonists might have a good revenge with keeping us all #noai .

@markwyner huh. Meta just bought one of these AI farm account tools, Moltbook.
Meta acquired Moltbook, the AI agent social network that went viral because of fake posts | TechCrunch
Meta says that Moltbook's approach to "connecting agents through an always-on-directory" is novel.

@markwyner Huh, yes! they did

@kratzen Yeah, no direct "no bots" clause unfortunately. Regardless "AI" bots don't belong on Codeberg, IMHO, because it's against everything Codeberg stands for, but also for the reasons you mentioned. Looks like Codeberg moderation are already looking into this: https://social.anoxinon.de/@Codeberg/116217491555108227
@lu_leipzig@troet.cafe and its banned now. Lmao. + respect to codeberg for that

Come on people, think big picture.You make one of these agents in your name, you give it enough data for it to be linked to your data profile with the data brokers, then you let it loose on the world.
You let it simulate a life, job, holidays, family, friends.... you use the agent to pollute the internet with fake data all about you.
It can talk to other agents doing the same thing.Within months, any data profile on you will be junk.

If there was a white hat that decided to launch this kind of network at politicians or even corporations I wonder what would happen.
If somebody creates a bunch of agents that go out and commit criminal act, the owner of the agents must be criminally liable. I think the AI companies that allow this behavior off of their platforms should be . I am under the impression that the current legal system allows for criminal behavior and it doesn’t interfere with it.

Kind of valid. It has its appeal.
You could generate or have generated such broad spectrum of garbage that the big advertisers would have their information on any of us rendered and complete garbage.
My only question would be have they already thought of this and made provision
