It's very likely that in the not-too-distant future there will be entire multi-thousand user communities online that are all just a giant group of fake personas, arguments, ideas, conversations et al - all generated by Ai. There will be debate videos, selfies, deep thoughts, statuses, porn, all of it artificial.

A complete social hierarchy that is entirely fake.

All designed to entice users to enter and explore, think they are talking to, agreeing and disagreeing with, a group of real people, until they are scammed or maybe just endlessly trapped in a fake world.

A honeypot as an entire ecosystem.
Catfishing not as a fake person, but an entire fake world.

I too have used Xitter

I don't want any part of that.

Yikes. That is next level social engineering.

The flip side of this is potentially even more fascinating: Now imagine that you can go back to 2020s social media and interact with people *as if its actually 2020 and you are living through the experience live!* Imagine interacting with the different arguments, the fear, the unfolding events. It...

Even more reason to unplug more often!

what if that was reality? like now?

The solution is obviously to lock-away non-trivial amount of sats with every post. Proof of work.

it's here. you're as fake as me.

These are the kind of thoughts I come to the nostr for.

These are the kind of thoughts I come to the nostr for.

This made me think of William Gibson's 1984 novel, *Neuromancer*. I read it right when it came out, so my memory of it is vague, but I remember that there were powerful AIs that had their own community in cyberspace, which is the global network that is central to the novel. The protagonist tries to ...

I think you just described Twitter lol

There's actually no way for us to determine if that isn't already happening. Legacy internet architecture is broken, and hypostitization is a bitch.

PsychoVagabondX · 152w

Is that not beginning on this platform? There seems to be a large number of bots on Nostr.

That's already reality

WasBuddhaMaybe · 152w

Always has been? Even the “real” people that are online today have heads filled with fake and twisted and manipulated thoughts. What’s the difference if they all become actually fake people?

Tobo⚡ · 152w

Maybe this is it already? If I didnt know some of you from the conferences, I would be 100% sure that we were already at this stage. Here. Right now.

Jack⚡️ · 152w

This is terrifying. PoW will only grow more important as the internet becomes overwhelmed with non-human participants.

Maybe we are characters in a program of the holodeck on the starship Enterprise.

Guy how do we get our sats for starting a nodeless campaign ? Here’s mine : https://nodeless.io/donate/sats-back-baby

Sounds like a great idea for part of a bigger storyline .. possibly in written form .. possibly from 1996 .. https://image.nostr.build/8b091666ac147818bbaf0a540a2404bddb8aa3d66a8ffc7ccc1990a19de72707.jpg .. when will we start to recognise the cautionary tales we tell ourselves .. 🤷🏻

t4es5ter5 · 152w

It's already possible. Nobody including yourself cannot prove you are not an AI (bot). Maybe all of the conversations of today are AI already. Including my answer to you at this moment.....

And who will we be to tell them they are not real?

sourcenode · 152w

I just realized this is going to make porn acting completely unprofitable and destroy the industry. The people who still watch it will wank themselves extinct or marry robots. Bullish

Nakamoto Store · 152w

Agreed, this is surely not too far off at all.

Short Fiat · 152w

How do we fix this? The entities that create that fake content will have bitcoin wallets and they will be able to pay people to promote them.
