Honestly, I didn't think the Troll factorys were for hire. Does anyone have links to news articles saying they are? I thought the Russian Troll factorys in particular were concerned with defending the Honour of the Putin and little else. Still though, on UK online papers (like the Guardian) you do see the patern of the same sentence structure and general jist of post as it were. :tinfoil: :iiam:

Troll factories are always for hire.

I can barely be bothered to tax. Here's Allied soldiers making German soldiers take their rest break laying face down in a cleared out mass grave.



Merry Christmas.

Generating posts that have a particular slant and tone while being on the knife edge of human believability is a technology you can download for free from Github.

With a few people and a small budget for your bots you can essentially control the mind of a whole online community especially if it's localised in a convenient system like Reddit, where the popularity contest / minority censoring nature of it allows you to control what happens almost completely.

I got to say that I can't help thinking that, moments, or possibly seconds, after the camera was turned off that the kitty-catte in that vid decided that it was time to stop loving around and that it was, without question, time to make the hamster dead. I dunno - call me a cynic.

We have many "English second language" posters in this thread, and they're nearly undetectable, often better than native speakers.Yet, there are regularly quoted SC defenders using the most bizarre language constructs.

So we've reached a point where Star Citizen posts are so completely retarded no one actually believes they are being posted by humans
