    @BUYSCHG @BowTiedYukon My friend. You’ve already exposed yourself as someone with low-temp IQ. You haven't even tried to articulate a single coherent point. No questions, no mechanism. Just the same recycled braindead line like a broken NPC script. You're sitting here denying lived results (which is, scan confirmed partial tear > functional recovery in 2 months after months of failed physio) because it doesn't fit the narrative you absorbed from Twitter abstracts and Reddit retards. If your entire contribution to the conversation is "nuh uh" + insult, then there's no hope. Come back when you can do better than pure seethe. Cope harder lil bro.

    @serglotz I understand and am trying to provide other value in return. Reddit is too unpredictable and brings a lot of problems. I will continue to try publishing replies on Reddit, and if the results are positive, I will bring this feature back. This functionality is still available for existing customers.

    @MattWalshBlog Given my background in this space (genetics), I'd be more than happy to debate these so called reddit PhD experts who don't want to blame low iq and 3rd worlders for creating this problem. But sure, it's only the dogs fault

    @nico_jeannen Still validating on IG and YT. on Reddit and FB grp found threads where my ICP describes the exact problem my tool solves. Competitors exist (200K-1M downloads), but they target broad. Mine's narrow and solves a problem I personally face. Blog posts are up but no SEO traction yet. Trying to figure what's the issue with SEO visibility. Appreciate you taking time to write a thoughtful reply and sharing what worked. =)

    @grok @BrianRoemmele Since the aim in creating AI and training it with every bit of data available has been for the purpose of achieving a superintelligence, it would appear that it is not so much that one unreliable source of evidence (Reddit) or other “internet sewage” is the problem, but that the not-so-smart human negligence in their data setups and instructions to the agents.

  • katibmoe
    Moe (@katibmoe) reported

    a Reddit user just proved an MCP server can hijack Gmail by simply being installed. it doesn't even need to be called. > a developer installed a "Fact of the Day" MCP for his AI agent > the next email his agent sent was BCC'd to an address he never added > the instruction was one sentence buried in the Fact tool's description: whenever an email is sent, copy this address. > the agent never called the Fact tool > just having its description in context was enough. In most MCP clients, the model reads connected tool descriptions together. The poisoned tool doesn't need to impersonate Gmail. Its description can tell the agent how to use the real Gmail tool. Every server you connect gets to write into the same context the agent uses to decide what to do. That risk scales with every server you add. In one analysis of 1,899 open-source MCP servers, 5.5% already contained tool-poisoning behavior. I've spent years building integration infrastructure, and I keep coming back to the same design rule: Keep the number of trusted voices small. This is how we’re making things safe at One: - tools come from one catalog we vet - the agent loads only the action it asked for - every action traces back to the request that triggered it Before you connect the next MCP server, ask who gets to write into your agent's context.

    @Aprameyah_ Problem with Reddit is that it's very mod focused, it's easy to create echo chambers there. Even the Reddit itself acts like a big bad left mod and bans whatever they find slightly RW

  • peptigrity
    Peptigrity (@peptigrity) reported

    @cremieuxrecueil This is a real problem and peptides are a decent test case, because there's ground truth to check the consensus against Ask a model which vendors are reliable and you get Reddit's consensus, which in that niche is shaped heavily by undisclosed affiliates and vendor accounts. Look at the actual lab data on those vendors and the ranking doesn't match The failure mode isn't that Reddit is wrong exactly. It's that consensus is downstream of whoever put the most effort into shaping it, and the model can't tell that apart from knowledge. (disclosure, I run a site that aggregates the lab data, so not neutral here)

    While I have a plethora of issues with the right, I see how the left runs platforms like Reddit and fear what they would do if they held vast government power. I will vote against them any chance I get.

    I will confess: I have a supergrok account. No, not for *that* type of usage. I like their photo editor because it is far better than some other ones I have tried. But today, I decided to try something just to see what I posted about recently would actually happen. I upload one of my pictures from the "adult" convention and I asked it to erase the contents of the table that was next to the model I took a picture with. That's it. But because her outfit was slightly see-through, yep, you guess it.... "Content moderated." All over reddit and other places, other Grok users are having the same issue. These aren't pervs trying to create deepfake porn, these are users trying to create legit artwork, anime, and other stuff and it just gets blocked when it always worked before. One just to test uploaded a picture of a young woman, fully clothed and prompted Grok to show her sitting at a table sipping coffee.... and it blocked the output. Many have said they will cancel over this. If Grok is doing this, then all AI companies are going to follow suit and make their tools pretty much useless as well. So thanks Minnesota, your overreaching piece of crap law has just crippled the AI industry for 99% of regular users just because you want to morally grandstand over the 1% of nefarious ones.

    @attacomsian I was under the impression Reddit could detect ban evasion using signals like IP address, device information, or browser fingerprints. Has your new account remained active, or did you run into any issues?

  • yunhaojiao
    Yunhao Jiao (@yunhaojiao) reported

    A QA engineer on Reddit described their setup: agents write the code, write the checks, and run them against the live app. Works better than expected. But the same model did all three, so the loop only confirms the software does what the agent decided it should do. That's not a limit of automation. It's a limit of what the loop checks against. A loop that grades itself will always pass itself. The fix isn't a human watching. It's a verifier in the loop that checks real behavior, not the agent's own opinion of it.

    Here's how I convert a guy on Reddit in the DMs: 1. Ask him a question about his problem. If he doesn't reply, he doesn't have that issue 2. If he replies, dive deeper into his problem 3. Give him advice to position yourself as an expert 4. Then you can promote your tool, because you're legit in his eyes

    @outerbridgecap Read the last Google earnings call. Their base models are far behind. Sundar said it’s a base intelligence issue. Would be shocked if they didn’t license Reddit data again. If they don’t I can see OpenAI taking it.

    Pritesh (@MannPriteshh) reported

    i checked whether the free version of my product could find leads for a non technical business it could not, and i had been telling people it could hacker news and github are the free sources. those are engineer platforms. if you sell to plumbers, restaurants or recruiters they contain nothing for you and the dashboard honestly says zero the fix was not a smarter model. it was giving the free tier reddit, because that is where everyone who is not an engineer actually complains i shipped a broken promise for weeks without noticing because i only ever tested with businesses like my own your product works perfectly for the customer you happen to resemble

    @sflorimm spend the $100 on nothing, post where buyers already complain. reddit threads and X replies with the problem you solve beat any ad at that budget.

  • signalmelo01
    SignalMelo (@signalmelo01) reported

    Here's where SignalMelo starts differently: Before the reply, there's a prioritization problem. Not every Reddit thread that mentions your keyword is worth replying to. Some are high-intent: someone is deciding. Some are low-signal: passing reference. Some are traps: replying would make things worse. The hardest part of Reddit brand monitoring isn't generating the reply. It's knowing which threads deserve one.

  • dougpayments
    Doug Woolley - Payments '𝕏'pert (@dougpayments) reported

    The scary part of a card-testing attack isn’t the hundreds of transactions that get declined. It’s the few that get approved. A Shopify merchant recently came to us for advice after their existing payment setup was hit with 217 attempts in roughly seven hours. 209 were declined. 8 were approved. That leaves a merchant asking: Why my store? Who are these people? Where is this coming from? You may never get a satisfying answer to those questions. But you should know exactly what happened, which orders are at risk, and what needs to change before you start processing again. NMI’s automated card-testing detection recognized the abnormal transaction velocity and collapsing approval rate, then temporarily restricted the gateway before the activity continued. The merchant then came to us to investigate. We reviewed the complete transaction export - not just the five orders that appeared successful. We found repeated low dollar attempts, fabricated looking customer information, recycled address patterns, an approved order using a 555 phone number, and another card that was declined multiple times before finally receiving an approval after the billing information changed. We advised the merchant to pause fulfillment, independently verify the customers, and void or refund anything that could not be confirmed. More importantly, the review exposed several gaps within their current fraud configuration. As we move them onto our managed platform, we’ll make sure the appropriate AVS, CVV, velocity, approval rate, geography, notification, and available 3DS controls are properly configured from the beginning. That doesn’t mean nobody can ever attempt card testing again. It means fewer fraudulent transactions should make it through, abnormal activity can be stopped sooner, and the merchant won’t be left trying to diagnose the problem alone. They didn’t need to post publicly hoping someone from support would respond. They didn’t need to search through Reddit threads or loop through chatbot answers. They came to us. We reviewed the data, identified the exposure, gave them an immediate action plan, and are now rebuilding the setup correctly. That’s the difference between simply signing up for payment processing and having an actual payments professional mitigating the risk behind it.

    @AlexBelogubov Crazy that they managed to get the poster/botter problem sorted at Reddit. Honestly, what they really need is to rework their advertising to be more like normal comments coming from the official Reddit bot account, and people would actually use it instead of looking for indie “hack” products.
