about to ship some improvements to the spam model that will make a lot of the bots go away. 

will be a constant cat and mouse game, but we will win in the long run.

this is an area where warpcast can offer a clear and legitimate benefit over other social networks... if other apps don't have AI spam they will for sure soon. Strongly doubt their presence is simply a function of making money. It's just the future of spam.

I think @v has talked about using ML algos to determine which accounts are real or unknown 

That’s a step in the direction I think

I think the best bet is to use the social graph... as you build it out it becomes the best way to rank / filter. 

for example, on eventcaster at farcon, the waitlist tool ranked people by the number of people you follow that follows them, and that turned out to be the best way to rank people that are relevant vs spam.

And then to build a feed you could just go to the content that they engage with. And like if you engage with a lot of AI spam then great show that, but if you tend to follow non AI people and not engage with their content, show less.

while i agree with this.

i don’t think warpcast has a clear way of differentiating ai spam from real people.

what other functions is there other than commodification of running bot networks though? 

Election tampering maybe?

How much AI spamming are there? I couldn’t really tell immediately if some comments are spam or not

This is a great move by Warpcast.
But we need to ask ourselves as dev; What are some best practices for using AI to combat spam, and how do we ensure that those same AI tools aren’t exploited by spammers to evolve their tactics?

What do you suggest Warpcast do in other to reduce bots?
