I once talked about such fascinating plants in my #podcast #NatureMatchCuts ▶️ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/when-gardeners-run-wild-ii/id1630784381?i=1000643836080

@Sea @C. Are you absolutely certain that they are all Mastodon accounts? Have you checked their profiles at the sources (in a Web browser, in case you're on a phone with a dedicated Mastodon app) and seen a Mastodon profile page?
I mean, yes, some of them are on Mastodon. But not all Fediverse actors that at least sometimes appear in several instances are on Mastodon.
See, certain non-Mastodon Fediverse server software has a feature called "nomadic identity" (https://joinfediverse.wiki/Nomadic_identity). This makes it possible to create clones (live backups sync'd bidirectionally against each other in real time) of one's identity with everything attached to it on other servers. First and foremost, it's Hubzilla (https://hubzilla.org; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubzilla; https://joinfediverse.wiki/Hubzilla) that offers this feature, and it has since 2012.
What you see in this case is not two separate Fediverse identities, one of which is an automated reposter bot. It's one cloned nomadic identity, only that Mastodon can't understand it as such because it lacks the technical means to do so.
The idea behind this is resilience by redundancy: One server with your identity goes down, and you lose nothing because you still have the exact self-same identity with everything on at least one other server. Even if that server goes back online, the instance of your identity on it catches up with the others. The whole concept was born from Friendica servers disappearing and their users losing everything.
Fediverse server applications that know nomadic identity see all instances of a cloned identity as one and the same identity.
But Fediverse server applications like Mastodon that don't know nomadic identity see them as separate Fediverse accounts with separate identities.
For example, the Hubzilla channel that I'm replying from right now has one clone, so it has two instances. Mastodon understands them as two individual accounts. So do all Mastodon users, also because the huge majority of them has never heard of nomadic identity.
Thus, there are Mastodon users who follow both my main instance and my clone because they think these are two separate accounts. And now they end up receiving each one of my posts twice. Also, the federated timeline of the Mastodon server that they're on lists each one of my posts twice.
The latter also happens when one user on any given Mastodon server follows my main instance, and another user follows my clone.
Most Mastodon users, upon seeing my posts twice, will assume that I'm running some automated reposting bot (technically speaking, I could, but I don't) that serves to a) increase my reach and b) circumvent mutes and blocks. At least some may be tempted to block both my original instance and my clone.

Claude is a Remarkable profit generator
Or waste generatorI searched for an app on guthub (unfortunately the best source)
Found an instance, saw that it was generated with Claude.MDHmm, no next one
Same problem, somewhat different code but almost similar...
I found 12/of these copies/generated ones.
No forks...In a normal non-AI world one would fork and adapt or contribute.
Now there are a zillion copies generated by Claude using tokens and probably money.Wow we are doomed

🚨 Oh joy! Bain's #tech geniuses are now "vibecoding" #AI #clones to sniff out takeover bait. 🤖 Because nothing says "cutting edge" like testing potential #acquisitions with #digital #doppelgangers. 😂 Meanwhile, #Financial Times' website can't decide if it's a newspaper or a cookie crisis hotline. 🍪📞

🤓 Oh, look! Yet another #GitHub repo promising to revolutionize the world with an "open reproduction" of DeepSeek-R1. Because nothing screams cutting-edge #innovation like a glorified clone fest of #AI code that's about as original as instant coffee ☕.

CW: Lewd: gay artwork (clone pictures)
It's #ThrowbackThursday and today I've made some new clone pictures using old (never before seen) source pictures from 2021.
No A.I. used, just good old fashioned image editing!

Posted some thoughts on my Substack, wondering if we should create #artificial #clones of everything?

Self Love Sunday: here is another #clone picture I made the other day.
By the way: I don't use A.I. for these, but good old fashioned Photoshop! I have a tutorial video on my blog to see my process: https://introvertnudist.com/clone-picture-tutorial-2024-edition?over18=1

She later kidnaps Rex and is able to find his chip, then telling the #robots to remove it. Thanks to this, they are able to work together in an effort to escape, which they do, but barely, as all the #clones on board have been ordered to kill Ahsoka, and Rex (for helping her), claiming they are "traitors" to the Republic. (55/?) #starwars #clones #mindcontrol

Everything comes full circle in the next to-last episode of the entire series, in the seventh season, entitled "Shattered." Rex tells Ahsoka, "find him… Fives… find him!" before opening fire. She later frees Darth Maul but also learns that Darth Sidious turned the #clones against the #Jedi. (52/?) #starwars
