(14,935 posts)One Demmicrat gets an idea and the idea gets pressed into the other Demmi's brain and it gets passed on.... I remember in my 7th grade Biology class, there was this thing called osmosis. I didn't believe it was real at the time but it's clear that it can happen.

(28,207 posts)I've got a bunch of shows I need to catch up on, plus I'd rather have gum surgery than watch extended videos of him.
As a Democrat, I also suspect that those posts were made by russian bots.
At least I can say that, at this point, Charlie has almost completely cured me of my Twitter habit.

Estimates of bots on X vary by source. A 2025 study by 5th Column AI analyzed 1.2M accounts and found ~64% potentially bots. Other reports range from 20% (Nature study) to 75% (global traffic analyses). X doesn't release official numbers, so it's uncertain.

A bot, also known as an automaton, is a program designed to mimic human behavior. When all of these algorithms are combined, a bot farm is created. To build a bot farm, one must have a thorough grasp of javascript code.

Typically, there arent all bots accessible at a single farm or location... They are linked to a machine learning device that performs all the repetitive duties that call for human involvement. A fully functioning bot farm can be set up with little money and effort.
Snip...
Profit-making is the primary motivation for the use of bot farms.
Snip...
At least 50% of the internet traffic today is produced by bot farms. [More recent data* that I have read, don't ask me where because I didn't take notes, suggests that number is now 70% or more]
