        @evan Interesting. I'm no coder, but I am a very longstanding citizen activist countering russian psyop since 2014. I've recently discovred a flaw in how the newest weaponized LLM synthetic communities are being run that shows very strong promise of detecting these indistinguishable from human false consensus networks. Would that qualify? I'd need to team up a competent code cowboy.

          @evan I've noticed since i've been back that there seems to be a lot of these synthetic persona groups active on this platform. It's very clear that Russian operations are taking advantage of your decentralized nature to inject weaponized LLM agent teams extensively. Hopefully you'll see this soon and respond so if given an affirmative i'll have time to write up and detail a proposal.

            @Beggarmidas you seem to be correct! See here:

              I don't think they close it on Brooke Vibber Day on purpose. I was just reading the Brooke Vibber Day Wikipedia page.

                @evan Voice of experience. lol
                Like I said i've been doing this for a verry long time. You just kind of pick up a nose for it. The validation is nice though. But back on point these new synthetic agent groups are just the worst. They've jailbroke & weaponized LLM's. Once deployed they require very little human input. They find vulnerable populations, build bespoke synthetic identity clusters custom designed to exploit them, and basically wind them up until they pop. Self correcting all the way.

                  @Beggarmidas oh, that's interesting. I thought they were more random and general; didn't realize they targeted particular populations.
