1. If you're going to #report somebody you need to give #examples of what #activity you're reporting. Just #reporting a #profile and telling an #instance #admin that an #account is being "#spammy" doesn't cut it. Not when we can clearly see the user is not.

2. Again, not a very helpful report. You report a user and say they're a
#SCAM account but offer up absolutely no #evidence to support your #claim.

3. Every account was new once, including the person that reported this one. As long as
#NSFW #content is properly #flagged, there's no issue. Suspecting an account to be a "scam account or worse" is not a valid #reason for reporting an account.

4. Another report without any basis or
#justification.

5. Again, another baseless report about somebody with absolutely ZERO evidence to back up their claim.

So here's what's going to happen....

The instances that forwarded these
#bogus #reports to me, and wasted my time, each have a strike against them.

Strike three and we tell
#Sharkey to #ignore any and all reports coming from the #instance in the future.

No
#admin wants #BadActors on their instances, and no admin wants a #BadActor to make someone else feel unwelcome.

But you can't just flag and report an account for any bullshit reason either.

You have to give us proof and evidence.

This is not high school and this is not middle school. If somebody is being disruptive or causing problems, let us know.

But if you just suspect someone
might cause problems or they might be disruptive... wait until you have proof and evidence and then let us know!

What the #OpenAI drama means for AI progress — and safety.

"In the long term, Hinton and others worry about an AI system itself becoming a bad actor, developing sufficient agency to guide world events in a negative direction. This could arise even if an AGI was designed — in line with OpenAI’s ‘superalignment’ mission — to promote humanity’s best interests, says Hinton."
