   Does anyone have any idea why most of today’s top links are submitted by the same account, one that is 11 days old?

      The machines are starting to astrotruf the narrative that their takeover is ”not so bad, really”.

      Ain't nothing new, most AI-related posts have been like this for a while.

      The fact that these come from bots at least gives me hope that the fact a few good posts come up every day from the sea of slop means the actual humans still appreciate good writing.

      This looks like a new account from a PR agency focusing on AI labs.

      Astroturfing. Surprisingly effective in this case.
