Jacques ✅ @JacquesThibs · 19h The massive number of likes on some tweets these past few days only makes sense with bot swarms imo > QUOTED: Project Li... ✅ @ProjectL... · Sep 13 [Meme image: two stick figures labeled "CHINESE BOTS" and "RUSSIAN BOTS" pulling puppet strings attached to a US-flag-colored map of the United States, with caption "Cmon, do a civil war..."] @projectliber...
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Jacques Thibodeau (an AI safety-adjacent commentator) speculating that recent spikes in tweet engagement are driven by coordinated bot swarms, quote-tweeting a meme about foreign bot campaigns trying to provoke US civil conflict. General information-warfare/platform-manipulation commentary, tangential to AI safety via the bot/influence-operations angle.

running bots to encourage civil war is against X policy. regretted user minutes too, and pretty weird!! are they doing it emergently, or is someone telling them to turn up the heat? > QUOTED: Robotbeat... @Robotb... · 19h Americas enemies want us at each others' throats. x.com/havoc_six/stat...
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Danielle Fong questions whether bot networks amplifying civil-war-inciting content on X are operating emergently (algorithmic incentive) or under direct instruction, in response to a "Robotbeat" tweet about adversarial influence operations. Political/information-warfare commentary, tangential to AI-safety interests in emergent vs directed harmful behavior.
