schestowitz-pi<techrights-news> Does anyone still remember VICE Media? Was it not valued at many billions at one point? Sort of like many HEY HI companies right now...Jul 26 14:29
schestowitz-pi<techrights-news> A lot of social control media these days is BOT (fake) views and even comments, not just clicks, are bots. It helps platform FAKE "engagement" and thus invent fraudulent "values"... chatbot use case: commit fraud. Another kind of it.Jul 26 14:29
techtrights-sec6Bot-based "engagement" can be the foundation for advertising fraud.Jul 26 14:51
techtrights-sec6The social control media companies are very likely to try to billJul 26 14:51
techtrights-sec6the advertisers for impressions which never happened and were bot clicksJul 26 14:51
techtrights-sec6instead of actual visiting people.  Jul 26 14:51
schestowitz-piThere were lawsuits like these (FB and Twitter).Jul 26 14:51
techtrights-sec6 Jul 26 14:55
techtrights-sec6I expect that if the fraud is still going on then there are new lawsuits tooJul 26 14:55
schestowitz-piModern LLM get-rich-fast scheme: either lie to investors OR 1) attack a given Web site by scraping millions of pages from it 2) that site pays large bills for this attack 3) you then offer to sell all the data of that site 4) you profit from someone else's work without consent or even knowledge 5) that site gets nothing, shuts down due to billsJul 26 14:56
schestowitz-piAnd yes, it sounds like some kind of crime. But that's what happens right now with LLM "data brokers", which compete by together attacking sites in parallel, all for the same "data set" (stolen mirror) to be sold to a highest bidder. Break this racket by punishing the actors.Jul 26 14:56
schestowitz-piOne easy way to kill the press online is to unleash lots of DDoS attacks at it, under the guise of "AI training", until it perishes and gives up Jul 26 14:58
techtrights-sec6Except that Russia's orange agent has endoresed such fraud just the other dayJul 26 15:02
techtrights-sec6Yep, that is a side effect that they perceive as beneficialJul 26 15:02
techtrights-sec6Think of all the WordPressd, Drupal, and othe CMS sites buckling under multipleJul 26 15:02
