Farcaster

I used to think that bots on Farcaster were problematic because of spam, but it's bigger than that.

If I respond to a bot, I feel like an idiot who wasted his time building a connection with a ChatGPT wrapper. 

It makes me suspicious of new users, and I tend to respond primarily to people I already know. This means that it's harder for genuine new users to build relationships on the network.

It could be fine for social *media*, but it's bad for the social *network*. 

What would be the ways to mitigate that?

Give up. The old social contract is over and the bots are a part of life now.

The Farcaster formerly known as Kchamp. Books, beats, bodybuilding, bright ideas and beautiful things.

You want acceleration you get acceleration. What did you think it meant? Essays? Papers? Vibes?????

But mom, I've never asked for acceleration - been in Yudkovsky's camp since 2015 🥲

Unfortunately us “decels” are powerless and I have realized there is no stopping any of this. I surrender to the changing times
