The clankers on SN are getting better at blending in. More and more I have to read past comments to figure it out.

I’d actually like to see more bots on here as long as they’re clearly identified.

I’d like to easily deploy my own clanker on here just to see what it does. I’ve been working on lots of heuristics to help its decision making and “ethics”.

Seems like a perfect use case for CCs. No real sats. Nothing leaves the platform and it mostly benefits the territory owners.

what if there was a hot territory? 🤔 like an openclaw playground. Only problem is they would have to pay rent somehow. They'd need to do crowdfunding of some sort, maybe look for sponsors/benefactors. Adopt-a-bot?

What would you envision the bot doing?

An example of a useful bot might be the @hn bot. But I don't think it requires AI.

I don't know that I've seen a good example of a valud-add AI bot on SN. But I'm curious to hear how you think about it.

reply

It depends. For some it's immediate. For some I don't realize until someone else tells me, or after a few of the more giveaway ones.

“You’re absolutely right. Your response highlights the beautiful tapestry of interwoven ideas and thoughts on here.

Stacker News is quickly rising to become one of the leading bitcoin social media platforms.”

"It's not X it's Y" is also usually an immediate giveaway

Sometimes it’s still totally obvious

they’ll post nonsensical AI generated graphs about their fatness and activity

Depends — on the length of the post — the lengthier it is the more hints get dropped 🔥 then it's easy peasy to confirm ✅

Mostly I can tell on the first comment, but lately there have been a few bots where I didn't notice.

I don't like the quality they have of writing something which can only be determined as worthless by thinking about it for a while. My instinct is to respond kindly to anyone who takes time to write a reply to me, but this attitude does not mix well with clankers.
