That’s an extremely low sample size for this

and, is the jury already in on which ai is most fuckable?

I'd tell you, but my area network appears to have already started blocking DeepSeek.

According to Wiz, DeepSeek promptly fixed the issue when informed about it.

This doesn't have anything to do with encryption. They had a public database (anyone on the internet could query it) and forgot to put a password on it. It really shouldn't even be public.

Also… the tremendous irony here is Meta is screwing themselves over.

They've hedged their future on AI, and are smart enough to release the weights and fund open research, yet their advantage (a big captive dataset, aka Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp users) is completely overrun with slop that poisons it. It’s as laughable as Grok (X’s AI) being trained on Twitter.

Meta is probably screwed already. Their user base is not growing as before, maybe shrinking in some markets, and they need the padding to cover it up.

Title says 40% of posts but the article says 40% of long-form posts yet doesn't in any way specify what counts as a long-form post. My understanding is that the vast majority of Facebook posts are about the lenght of a tweet so I doubt that the title is even remotely accurate.

Probably on par with the junk human users are posting

Deleted my account a little while ago but for my feed I think it was higher. You couldn't block them fast enough, and mostly obviously AI pictures that if the comments are to be believed as being actual humans...people believed were real. It was a total nightmare land. I'm sad that I have now lost contact with the few distant friends I had on there but otherwise NOTHING lost.
