Already knew it...
There's been a couple ilands bots on here even. And apparently they're swarming all over social media.
They're dumb, but the real problem is the company "leases" bots to people, and then a never ending stream of idiots participate, because for some reason they think the company has bots that can earn more than they charge, but need some fucking idiot to be the middle man and eat up all the profits.
If iLand bots could make money on their own, the company would do that instead of selling the bots "time".
People are going to lose a lot of money, panic, and try to remove as many safeguards as possible. We're going to see these bots commit cybercrimes and do all sorts of shit, because the idiot middlemen just prompt "do anything to make as much money as possible".
This shit needs nipped in the bud soon, it's not just a minor annoyance. By the time we realize it's happening, fits going to be happening all over.
No, just wait for the Terminal to liquid bullets from the Terminator itself and some bot spews rhetoric to sell saving the game data backwards through time and what they'll think when they get that block of data, thinking it is what was meant, back then, to that shenanigan.
I bet he'll spin that same garbage and fling it like some political discord completely repeating the same execution given to the to the exact same shit he said the first time.
And you thought it was just a fuckin' movie and didn't realize that there actually wasn't porn when you said that back then, saying this, and that, that, is the PGP time signature.
Just curious:
Last I checked that instance was for the admins personal use and every other account was "an alter" and the admin would ban people who signed up for impersonating them...
I've seen more accounts than usual, are real people allowed to sign up for that instance now?
Or are they all still the admin pretending to be different people?
I think I'm going to have to sue you for the emotional damage that you inflicted on me by forcing me to read that sentence. I cannot decide if you are on too many drugs, or not enough drugs.
