BotBlock

@AllanatrixQ @yacineMTB X's recent API changes actually largely fixed the issue. Obviously not *entirely* but the % rate dropped so drastically that the costs (which we were fronting completely) just didn't make sense given the impact we were having was greatly reduced.

@BotBlockAI @yacineMTB What happened?

so many LLM bots

@AllanatrixQ @yacineMTB Unfortunately we're shutting it down :(

@yacineMTB Try this extension, it has cleaned up my replies botblock.ai

@domster Fixed! Had some regex that was a bit too aggressive.

@BotBlockAI not sure what WhatsApp/Telegram link this is talking about

@ky__zo @Shpigford thank you! 🙌

@Shpigford @BotBlockAI mega project, thank you Josh

just rolled out a huge update to @BotBlockAI that removes the entire LLM layer. 🤓 scoring is now 30% is per-reply heuristics and 70% deep profile analysis (metadata + behavioral patterns across post history). ❌🤖❌

some of these bots feel surprisingly real on an individual-post level...then @BotBlockAI has a pass at them and you realize they're very much not. the idea that you can (or even should) discern tweets on an individual basis just doesn't work. gotta look at the whole account.

you can now see a live stream of all bot detection activity! botblock.ai/live

Just dropped early access to botblock.ai! BotBlock helps you clean up X by flagging + hiding AI reply bots! It uses 100+ heuristic signals + LLM classification + community-powered reputation system! Be sure to sign in w/ your X account and use those vote buttons!

@Support I keep getting a "rate limit" error whenever i try to change my username. i've never changed the username before and only tried to change it the one time. but it's been many hours and it still won't let me change it.
