I highly doubt there’s many bots on Lemmy.

I happen to work in IT infrastructure, so I knew this was bullshit from the start. Just need to apply the tiniest bit of critical thinking.

This was one of the biggest misinformation/propaganda campaigns I’ve ever seen.

I won’t blame Zelenskyy for the claims, he’s at war and propaganda is a powerful tool. But the rest of the world just casually pilling on without verifying anything? (Including many well known and trusted news networks and big names). Absolutely unacceptable.

Anyone who works in internet infrastructure should have been shutting this theory down from the start, but because the misinformation is “good”, everyone’s fine with it somehow.

This event really made me lose faith in the world’s news organizations.

Hell, right below this post is another one talking about all the Russian bots who have disappeared and all the comments are “confirming” it.

I listened to a podcast with a couple smart mathematicians talking about AI recently and this rings true based off what I heard them discuss.

They hypothesized that only verifiable domains can really see advances due to AI. So mathematics, physics, a load of the other sciences, and medical research. Even programming, as long as you have a pre-designed solution.

But for problems where you can’t look at a solution and say “yeah, that’s an optimal solution or close to it”, ie basically any business problem; they are much less useful, a big reason being what you mentioned in your comment.

This was one of the cringiest articles I have ever read.

There is no way this happened lmao.

I lost it at “sorry, I’m using Claude”.
