  • I chased comment thieves with a script that called them out for a while, so I noticed those everywhere and started learning their behaviour patterns.

    Unlike comment thieving bots, rephrasing bots could be difficult/expensive to detect. But at least if they use GenAI they are also expensive to run. (If they use a simple substitution, they are detectable, although it would take some work I guess. Fun work though).

  • Reddit bots comments do not always have to make sense. The bots likely quickly delete downvoted comments to stop the karma bleed and rely on only a few of them be upvoted to get that sweet sweet karma.

    This was how the previous generation of Reddit bots - comment thieves - worked.

    I wonder if there are already hybrids that steal and rephrase other comments using GenAI instead of just responding to the post title?

  • Partially agreement. There shouldn't be markdown in titles and Lemmy should probably have stripped it altogether: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3828

    Disregarding the malplaced markup in the title, the article link is also broken. (Contains broken markup).

    And again the multiple indentations and "cross-posted from" makes it look like Re: Re: FW material. I think my criticism is valid, even if I probably did sound a bit like a dick about it.

  • The writer uses the terms "locked out" and "frozen", but also says that she is not allowed to share documents any longer and maybe unable to access her documents from a tablet and a phone, but perhaps still from a laptop? (The article reads like a fucken drama piece instead of... you know... actual journalism).

    If she has any type of access, it seems like it is very easy to fix permanently:

    • Download documents.
    • Register a domain.
    • Get a hosted Wordpress or some other foolproof CMS.
    • Put documents there.

    Don't rely on a free service for something that has value you.
