Correct. If ais can fingerprint and emulate your voice with a couple of short clips, they can just as easily identify you from the sound of your voice from the same.

Thank you. I've googled my way to a better understanding and now we're both on the same lists. Funny how that works, list neighbor!

spam normal social media.

They're way ahead of you, and most of those companies welcome bot activity, since it artificially inflates engagement metrics.

No, because you checked on me tysm

Buying meta products is a red flag. Camera or no camera. Mic or no mic.

Kinda unnecessary there pal

Halt die Fresse Zensursula.

It's been 4 since your welfare check, I'm going with a definitive maybe

Yeah, the cheapest ones are like 5€ per year. But to really spam the fediverse and make it impossible to block you, you'd need thousands of them. And that's not really worth it, it would be much easier to just create accounts on random instances, or spam normal social media.

They're trying to flood the market with mimics to manufacture a smokescreen a la "not every set that looks like the versions with cameras actually have them" bullshit.

Na, its quite cheap to get domains. https://porkbun.com/event/holidaysales

Happy birthday to you, me, and our millions of siblings worldwide.

That is true, however registering domains isn't trivial or cheap.
So this wouldn't be something you could do en masse and therefore could be managble for admins to ban

There are people using meshtastic already. But yeah it needs a push to become mainstream

I assume they would still have a microphone, voice recognition, and report everything you and anyone around you do.

It's been an hour, are you dead yet?

Altered reality glasses. Basically a hud that's not your phone....

Soooo, regular glasses?

Now is the time to set one up. If we wait until the blocks come, it will be too late.

It isn't, like even a little.

I've got a wordpress instance that I've federated into the fediverse and as soon as I did I went from 2-3 spam comments a week to over 50 a week. I've since set up a honeypot and that has dropped to zero. These probably aren't AI agents but they're certainly bots (humans can't see my honeypot unless they're browsing the raw HTML and afict my audience wouldn't do that)

There is absolutely nothing stopping your from spinning up a Masotodon, Lemmy, or any other AP federated platform and unleashing AI agents all across it other than your own conscience.

The average person doesn't use ad block so, for many, nothing changed. I've genuinely tried to convince some family members to install one but they just don't care.

The discord one is interesting, I personally never received an age verification request so I wouldn't have known this was happening unless I saw headlines about it. I bet the situation is similar for a lot of others.

Mods and reporting.

It isn't. All that can be done is ban them when they are discovered or defederate from instances that don't do that.

Can someone please promise to check on me so I don't die

Take a look at how Firefox marketshare rose when Chrome killed ad-blockers, or how did Discord's marketshare drop when Discord started asking for age verification, and there's your answer.
