🦔 A creator is running 150 TikTok accounts with just three interns, all posting AI-generated videos. The setup uses racks of phones running automated content generation and posting. One account alone showed a $7,000 payout request.
My Take
Engagement farms aren't new. They've been a huge industry for over a decade, particularly for social manipulation and content theft. What's changed is the economics. Previously you needed people to steal and repost content, or create something. Now three interns can manage 150 accounts because the content generates itself.
This is where the AI video tools we keep covering end up. Not just deepfakes of celebrities or one-off viral clips, but industrialized slop production running 24/7. The platforms pay out based on engagement, and the algorithms don't distinguish between content a person spent hours making and content a script churned out in seconds. So the incentives push toward volume over quality, flooding feeds with generated noise. The creators making actual content are now competing against operations that can produce thousands of videos per day at near-zero marginal cost. I don't know how that competition ends well for them.

@monsterhunter Game could've used more "skill-gates", like Omega early on. Not having them has made the PUG experience awful. HR### is not nearly enough.
Perfect Guard Counter Slash (SNS) could've had tighter timings with way more damage. Dodge could have less iframes.
Lucilius will arrive as a boss battle on Mar 14 with the Ver. 1.1.0 update—tune into the GBF 10th Birthday Live Special on March 9 for more details!
It took us slightly longer to prepare him than initially planned, but we hope you look forward to the ultimate showdown!

@gbf_relink_jp Can't wait to play bc I'm seeing a lot of shit tier getting way too far.
I'm fine with accessibility and low skill floors but this is ridiculous.

The owners of Sports Illustrated and Men’s Journal promised to be virtuous with AI. Then they bungled their very first AI story — and issued huge corrections when we caught them.
