I'm only going to start getting worried once people develop a better model than Markov chains. Right now, all the bots either spout nonsense or follow the same formula.

SC-Shield was banned. Is he the same Shield that made alt accounts with names insulting tofucake? He really seemed dedicated to making alts back then.

Wow that's pretty clever. Not as clever as this bot that one time managed to make complete starcraft related sentences from whatever algorithm it used though.

well if it's more intelligent than markov chaining it's probably a functional AI, lol. markov chaining has also drastically increased in effectiveness in the past decade because of increasing computing power

I'm so tempted to throw a bunch of avilo posts into a Markov chain text generator and see what it comes up with. It'd probably be pretty funny and not that far off from the real thing.

Please do it. Make an account avilo2 and just post with it. See how many people believe.

I now imagine myself In twenty years, siting in a cave hiding from the AI overlords roaming the planet, telling the children the stories about how we first saw the AI getting ahead of us in the form of TL.net adbots.

The fact that they can make posts that are so hard to tell apart is more of a testament to the quality of the common TL post than the advances in AI though.

We're calling it "The Inversion" for now but we're not particularly attached to it.

I had no idea what you mean, so I googled "The Inversion". After skipping the obvious meteorology, the first link was https://www.rooshv.com/the-inversion-agenda. I must admit to having read most of it in a single sitting of constant awe. Are people really this insane? And why are people this insane on the first Google page for a relatively innocent term with plenty of science-related uses?

So, thank you for broadening my horizons. I am also now more leaning towards actually rooting for the AI ...

... so high that employees feared an inflection point after which YouTube’s systems for detecting fraudulent traffic would begin to regard bot traffic as real and human traffic as fake. They called this hypothetical event “the Inversion.”


OMG that is nearly as great as that other thing

its a pretty middle of the road perspective. i think Blizzard is still good but not great any longer. i don't see anything aggressive about it.

here is some boring, middle-of-the-road stuff. it is fact based though.

nah, my posts are ok. i think i've had 3, 2-day bans in 5 years. how many bans have you had in the past year?

if i want to post something silly and humourous related to software development or sports i do that elsewhere.

i post plenty in the SC2 game threads. the mods read it. my sc2 posts are fine. pretty boring, middle-of-the-road stuff. i really like SC2 and that generates conflict with people who dislike SC2. meh.

that's not true at all. You have two pages of mod notes, one of those pages from before 2014 one of them after. for post-2014, that includes 8 bans (where 4 of them were 2 days, three of them 1 week and one 30 days) and 8 warnings.

And that doesn't include any alts that might have been axed in the same period
