@briannawu people who discourage people from #voting are either #UsefulIdiots or known #BadActors in a #PsyOp for the opposite site.

Whether they are either is irrelevant for the results however - as well as how to treat them: As the bad actors they are...

1/2 General Purpose AI is a huge double #threat to #humanity, but people are only concentrating on the 2nd part of the threat, the #Singularity, which is something we won't be able to do anything about anyway because it's mostly in the hands of #BadActors who won't listen to #regulation at all.
We will likely be in a world where #NorthKorea will be the #AI equivalent of being a primary nuclear power, for example.

And so it (just) goes?
That they are above the law?

#ChiefJusticeRoberts declines to testify before Congress Over #Ethics Concerns

@packetsnorter

Unintelligable, defeatist and defeatist.

We prefer to help solutions to the problems, solutions that #blackHats and #badActors seem ready, at the first opportunity, to take from us.

@calindrome It's doing a good job of radicalising people. I've worked for 5 #dating sites now. They attract and, with a bit of media manipulation, create #Incels like little factories.

The "Victims" see the same rejections everyone else gets, the same horrible algorithms that sites like #Tinder use to sell upgrades and #gamify swipes & retention; but most people don't take that as a direct insult to their #AlphaMale rights unless #BadActors are telling them they should.

When people delete things as if you and many others haven't already saved that crap... Lol
Yes this is vague but those on my FB list know.
Craze. 😅
#BadActors #Toxic

Influx of people will bring #badActors, and #moderation is going to be a big topic, in couple weeks.

#mastodon #security I'm concerned about #vulnerabilities in the #federation of servers. It seems to me that #badActors will be able to use throw away #instances as an #attackVector

Makes it easy when the baddies tell you they are baddies,
and will continue to be baddies,
and furthermore don't give a sh*t that they are baddies...

@moderngypsy
We're not experts on the #fediverse but you can easily block people, if they are a complete and utter pest.

Servers (aka #instances) have also been known to block other instances. Although this does seem an extreme solution to stopping a few #badActors.
