@nikitabier @dieworkwear the vast majority of today's bots are from residential IP's, yes. likely compromised IoT devices. this is a reflection of the internet if you will, but it doesn't mean there isn't an incredible amount of bot behavior

When I first started at X, this is one of the things I did a deep dive on because I felt it was critical to the integrity of the experienced. I tasked our Threat Disruption team to investigate a number of trends that seemed artificial. The findings: We could not find meaningful examples of foreign interference in US policy discussions, except people gaming rev share in developing countries. This is what motivated the release of the Country of Origin feature and significant changes to the rev share algorithm. The most deranged & divisive replies generally were from residential IPs in the United States—with no signs of using a VPN. Ultimately, X is a reflection of the internet. And that means you will see the full spectrum of human thought. And sometimes the most outrageous takes will catch fire. Having said all of this, there can still be cases of narratives being boosted but the origin of the initial post is almost always domestic and we have hardened our systems in the last 3 months to prevent this.

the one conspiracy i believe is that this place is full of bots programmed to say insane, incendiary things and they're funded by foreign organizations who want to divide americans and destabilize US society

@chacon do you happen to know the history on this divergence?

so for tags it appears git puts the signature at the end of the message instead of nicely in the gpgsig field like it does for commits?

@PopBase yay!

Meta is removing Instagram’s latest AI feature following a negative response from users: “Earlier this week, we announced that one way for people to generate images in Meta AI is by @-mentioning public Instagram accounts that they want to reference. Our intent was to provide a useful creative tool and to give people control over whether their public content could be referenced in this way. We've heard the feedback that this feature missed the mark, so it's no longer available.”

@PopBase what a disgusting feature

Instagram now allows users to create AI images using other people’s public photos. Users can generate AI images from public profiles by tagging accounts in their prompts. (about.fb.com/news/2026/07/i…)

This update makes the root of Linux respond in under 1s and TypeScript's /tests/baselines/reference/ folder finish in only 20s. GitHub here truncates the list and fails to load the commits. debug: found 53049 in 19379ms after searching 14270 commits

@pissshit90001 the health of complex systems are measured by their ability to handle anomalies. if u ever go to work and "do a chernobyl" many many safeguards failed you long before your simple mistake. we all make mistakes, those systems should protect you from causing a cascade.

When I mess up I just think about how someone went to work one day and did Chernobyl
