I have an idea. I can’t tell if it’s good or bad. Let me know what you guys think.

I think when someone posts “clone credit cards HMU for my telegram I know you’re just here sitting here waiting like gee I wish someone would post me criminal scammy get rich quick schemes, I can’t want to have a felony on my record” type spam, there should be a bot the mods can activate that will start sending messages to the person’s telegram or whatever, pretending to be interested in cloned credit cards.

It wouldn’t be that hard to make one that would send a little “probe” message to make sure it was a for-real scammer, and then if they respond positively, then absolutely flood them with thousands of interested responses. Make it more or less impossible for them to sort the genuine responses from the counter-spam, waste their time, make it not worth their while to come and fuck up our community. And if they lose their temper it can save some of the messages and post them to some sort of wall of victory.

What do people think?

    My default instruction that seems to get just about the right tone includes:

    Speak to me like you’re my executive assistant, and we’re in a brief meeting we’ve had daily for many years

    So instead of me saying

    Is there any way to get mayonnaise out of a jar without using my hands

    Instead of

    It’s fun and rewarding to get mayonnaise out of jar without using your hands. [blah blah blah blog post article sales pitch blah blah 400 words blah]

    Instead I get:

    • Kick the jar
    • Use your long proboscis-like tongue
    • Hire someone

      It’s weird how well making it roleplay works. A lot of the “breaks” of the system have been just by telling it to act in a different way, and the newest, best versions have various experts simulated that combine to give the best answer.

        My favorite psychology professor is always harping on how theatrical representation is a really important step in the development of consciousness. Makes me think of that. He says that stories allow the mind to organize large amounts of information because they inherently contain the most valuable pieces of information, so they’re more efficient than like dictionaries or arrays. He didn’t use the data structure terminology but that’s what it reminded me of when he mentioned it. The story is the most efficient data structure for the human brain. Something like that.
