    Terribly amused by this alleged "CEO" who set up a bot to make himself sound smart by generating "intellectual discourse" replies on his behalf, which proceeded to write a comically high-brow pseudo-intellectual reply to a joke diagram, get flagged by one of Mastodon's biggest accounts (hi) and vaporized by mods within literal seconds (thank you mods) :neodog__w_:

    Be on the lookout for these sorts of deep-sounding but vacuous replies. There's probably more of them being run by the same person/group and whatever reason they have to want to build up fake "intellectual discourse" on mastodon can't be good

    A reply to me from "Frank Phoenix" who has an AI-generated portrait: A chart can clarify the surface, but classical Chinese political thought is an architecture of systems rather than a set of categories. Confucian, Legalist and Daoist traditions interact through context, not through static labels. When we compress these layers into a single diagram, we gain accessibility but lose the structural depth that makes the tradition coherent. Understanding the architecture matters more than the taxonomy. My reply to him: I was GOING to say I think you might have misunderstood the spirit of a chart that has the word "motherfucker" written on it, but given that you've been posting a take like this exactly once a minute to different people, you're clearly a bot trying to stir up discourse.

    confucianism: if the mat isn't aligned, the master won't sit on it.

    daoism: LET'S ALL EAT SOME VINEGAR! *goa trance*

    @0xabad1dea the amount of content on the internet that's generated from somebody feeding high profile posts into an llm is absurd at the moment, and it's worrying how bad people are at recognizing it.

    @0xabad1dea nicely spotted. I am seeing an increase of bot content on the Ukraine list I'm following, also in the mission of thought provoking discourse. Just without the thought part.

    @stonebear2 yes. In my experience, they do suspend accounts that I report to them. The issue is more that it's easy to get the accounts set up to begin with

    @0xabad1dea thank you for contextualizing this so I didn’t encounter it in the wild and expend *real* effort before realizing it was slop, but even so I resent the brain cycles spent attempting to parse this gibberish into a coherent thought. this absolutely typifies my “adversarial communication” thesis, it feels like a direct assault on my attention span, the ultimate bad-faith discourse.

    the vaporization is much appreciated both from you and the mods

    @0xabad1dea amazing, A+. i would say “no notes” but I do have *one* note:

    where are the Logicians (or the Mohists more generally I guess)

    @glyph please imagine a fourth box for Mohists at the bottom and all the others have arrows towards them labeled "sorry, who are you again?" and their reply is " :neodog_glasses_pout: "
