    That’s one instance of a troll farm from 11 years ago.

    Surely nowadays these troll farms are LLM powered instead of human powered and of course need compute power.

    Where the humans sit that orchestrate these bot networks is another topic.

      Where is the lion’s share of LLM compute located?

      I don’t know about that.

      Feels like there’s a high risk of the LLM going off script and going against the points they are trying to make.

      Just like Trump’s AI site saying the 2020 election was not stolen.

        Do you not see that daily? There’s nothing internally consistent or coherent about 3/4 of what bots post, it’s just garbage that sounds plausibly human.

      Surely

      Trust me bro, it’s the vibe

      There’s been a spike recently in australia of people paying Indonesians to post right wing content, half the time a company is using AI they’re actually just paying people in the third world pennies for posting

      a lot of this stuff is propaganda on behalf of ai companies, ai is scary! Ai is evil! Ai is powerful! lol

      Yeah the idea that they would just route their traffic from a regular office network connection is truly stupid.
