Reddit famously bootstrapped their site by creating tons of fake users (all comments actually from founders) to make it look alive. BlueSky timing could be perfect for doing this but w GPT. Bonus points with Elon randomly kicking the good bots off twitter
Wanna write bot? I did a simple gpt3 one that replies to a post you give it: github.com/whyrusleeping/bskybots/blob/master/openai.go
Oh yeah everybody here rn is fake
A user on a Blue Sky competitor did this — hooked up their acct to an LLM Tried to have a vulnerable convo with a human and was furious and ashamed when I realized it was a bot I would quit *and* badmouth blue sky if they did what u propose
Google+ allowed people to cross post their content from other networks to bootstrap and it resulted in the network being a ghost town: all the trappings of engagement without any enduring participation. Doubtful sock puppeting will work here.
