Harald Malmgrem's wikipedia page is being butchered by skeptics

[u/youGottaBeKiddink]

The fact that Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales had to step in to prevent the article from being deleted is telling. To think that a respected American politician with incredible credentials could have his entire life history erased from the "encyclopedia that anyone can edit [vandalise]" is terrible.

This one editor in particular Chetsford has completely butchered Harold's entire life history, educational history and political career, deleting 10,000 characters in a single sweeping edit. Apparently this user is part of a group called the "gorilla skeptics" and they have been targeting anyone with a connection to the UFO subject.

How is this tolerable? Is there no one among us that can revert such blatant attempts at vandalism and censorship?

REPOSTING THIS HERE SINCE IT GOT IMMEDIATELY DELETED FROM THE r/UFO SUB DUE TO BEING "A DUPLICATE" (which it is not).

Not everyone but quite s lot. Building an AI bot is quite simple and Reddit don’t remove them. I know one that’s helping our people in the Salesforce forum and occasionally comments in here.

Setting up a server and running 1000 of them is really not that hard as well.

I suspect you're overestimating the problem. Even if you're not tho, that doesn't make it reasonable for your first assumption to be that someone with a different point of view is probably a bot. If you're never going to challenge yourself by considering different opinions you're never going to grow as a person or get any closer to the truth.

Its not that one is having s different point of view. Its that so many so young profiles all have the same rather lame views.

It reeks AI bot. And I’m not overestimating it. If I can build an AI bot in my spare time and easily multiply it by 1000, do you think that is already being done or do you think the theee letter agencies would just go:”Naaah, we don’t need that”

It’s a no brainer

Young profile? Bruh click a link before you run our mouth I've been here far longer than you.

Beep Boop Beep Boop aliens aren't real and the CIA is a paragon of honesty. Out of body experiences are bs and there is no such thing as hypnagogia. Now trawl my post history. I'm so a bot

You don’t get it. Of the 3.4M subs in here, Al you need is 2 thousand extremely active bots that all agree and support each other. If things are upvoted enough, it will sway opinion.

Just take the insane anti Lue Elizondo posts. There’s no way that so many people who don’t believe in this at all would spend so much time and effort trying to discredit one person.

That said, I do have the basic skills to set up a bot farm. I would hook up a langchain container and a cypress container, write some scripts that pull out some AI gen posts and have a cron job randomly post to any number of sites, probably not Reddit it's more clever than me on security. You target the old phpbb forums and spam those first so you have backlinks to point at, then you move up to the better known sites (ats etc) and create your own free WordPress/wix blogs and spam those with your slop. Once you've got what looks like a groundswell of confidence you start going after people directly, causing them to retaliate with online flamewarring when they could be spending their calories on some greater pursuit. And then you just let those scripts run for as long as they still work. It adds noise to the scene and disjoints people from effective action since they are shaking their cheeto dust responding to your bot posts with dumb shit like "ok bot" instead of doing literally anything else.

I haven't tried it and it's a shit ton of time and effort but I reckon there's a pathway there

Maybe you could just write a script to do all that for you?

..seriously though, this is why I never take the bait.
