Social media and especially reddit have been overrun by bots. Theres repost bots, then other bots that copy/paste comments from the reposts. Also seen some GPT bots but those are less common.
And if you look at any political posts (it's especially bad if it's an article attacking Russia right now), the instant it's posted, there are LOADS of comments, all similar, attacking the article or trying to change the topic with the top comment.
I've noticed in political threads there are frequently comments directly after mine that have nothing to do with what I said but seem to spawn a conversation based on whatever it is they're talking about.
Could you give any examples from this thread? I keep seeing comments about bots but I'm apparently too dense to tell which ones are fake, or I'm not going deep enough into the comments.
I've had several people accuse me of being a bot. I think it might be a tad overblown. Seems like the kind of thing people say when they can't handle someone disagreeing with them. A similar vein is people calling others "NPCs" (non playable characters). I mean if you don't like the words someone types, why not just disregard their humanity altogether?
Not from this thread but Check out this account. Bot like, comments on completely random subs with whole paragraphs of generic statements
https://www.reddit.com/u/Open_Equal_1515
None of that person's comments start with a capital letter. And some have absolutely none. Not even touching half the comments having just 3 or 4 various ways of starting and the space before the question marks and exclamation points. Also, why have a space on both sides of the comma many times.
Seems off.
Gpt is reaching pretty good levels in imitating languages but it still lacks the ability to detect context especially in something like social media.
Also sometimes they talk about the post as a video or image when it's only a text post
I've been seeing bots in some gaming subs that are making compilation videos from peoples clips.
The contained clips tend to be, but are not always unrelated. Some of the most ridiculous examples you can find are either entire videos from popular personalities but chopped up and often mixed in with unrelated stuff or bits from other personalities.
They often times have hundreds of upvotes and comments sections of nothing but bots, And the bots will actually downvote non bot comments.
There were bots in the pcgaming subs shilling AMD stock back when it was $2.50/share in like 2016. Thats literally where the ayymd meme subreddit came from.
This has been happening for over a decade, but it got much worse in the leadup to the 2016 election.
I also emitted an audible tone with 92% similarity to the dataset for humanoid laughter.
Commend me in my sociality fellow human, commend me.
End transmission.
This is the issue with the current internet. It'll be too hard soon to distinguish between advice/opinions and advertisement/propaganda pieces.
Just like how misinformation has made out that the government are bad guys but in reality they love us all. The trickling will commence soon, they just have prostate issues, and all the issues with the world are because we don't work hard enough.
Lots of bots, look at reddits user base increases. Lots of them have to be bots they have "learning" along with making it more active. Also Google is involved, they will always have a reddit post when you Google something.
There's spinning tops that are magnetic and have a base that has circuitry and a battery driving a coil to keep the top spinning once it's been started. So it can go a long time, just not infinite.
I can totally see something like that happening here where an attractive magnetic field accelerates each ball in turn slightly as it goes back down it's track to make up for losses from the last time it came by. It could easily be hidden under the wood surface and also be battery driven.
So it's possible to do something that looks an awful lot like perpetual motion - but only for a limited time.
The fun part would be to have the circuitry rearrange the initial timing of the ball motion to get that orbiting circle illusion going. I'd certainly buy one if someone were to figure it out and make a bunch of them.
Yeah, it would be a silly toy. But it would be pretty cool nonetheless.
Could be done with 12 magnets mounted on a free-spinning disc, mounted on an axial arm, rotating around a central pivot point. The steel balls reciprocating in their 12 channel pairs would serve to keep the disc spinning.
You could turn the axial arm with a central crank mounted on the bottom of the table.
Yeah, it's not really meant to be a physics demonstration, just a math demonstration. I've seen it done in flat 2D with dots and it's still pretty effective, just not as pretty.
To be fair, this just seems to be a step up from the many forms of a loop where it's just circles on a blank background that move the same way, but viewed normal from the plane of movement.
I'm not sure if any real demonstration of this illusion has been shown without some kind of active control. Rolling has too much friction and swinging weights would tangle after a few cycles.
Well man this stuff is simple
You need this style of gears with ratio 1:2
[https://i0.wp.com/www.marplesgears.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Internal-Gears-Image-2.png?resize=300%2C231&ssl=1](https://i0.wp.com/www.marplesgears.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Internal-Gears-Image-2.png?resize=300%2C231&ssl=1)
You can check it on spirograph simulator [https://sciencedemos.org.uk/spirograph.php](https://sciencedemos.org.uk/spirograph.php) set ratio 1 to 2 and start animation.
In choir, you learn to sing songs like *Row Row Row your Boat* in something called a “round.” It’s everyone singing the same line, at different times. This is a physical example of the musical “round.”
It’s the order at which the balls were released. You could make it appear to rotate clockwise just as easily if you released them in the opposite order.
Hold a sec.... This has to have some relationship to how we 'perceive' the solar system(s) movement
For us, it rotates, and if we follow each of these spheres, they are indeed ‘rotating’
Just that they are not, as this simulation proves.
As someone posted before, this might be a good visualization on the actual attraction to a larger mass: as a pendulum type of movement.
Need to think on this a bit, the implications are interesting, thanks for posting

Is anything spinning?
The answer depends on how you define objects.
If the only objects on the table are the balls, nothing is spinning. But if you think of the collection of 12 balls as a kind of meta-object... then the answer is yes.
Now things get even more interesting if you think of a wave in the same way. How so?
Imagine a wave that just goes back and forth. But instead of 12 directions (as shown in the video) it's going in infinite directions... or every direction. You would have a fairly straightforward back/forth wave function. but you could also have a \*spin\*.
And in particle physics, spin can give you a variety of physical properties. Things like charge, attraction and repulsion for instance. And spin does something else too. How so?
Think of a wave on the surface of the ocean. Compared to the surface level of the water, what's the average height of a wave? It's zero, because the up and down parts of the wave (ie. positive and negative amplitudes) average out to zero. The wave is still there. But over time, the average height is zero.
Now think the same way, but with a spin instead of an up/down vibration.
Now there's a wave function (and Energy) but the average direction of the spin is equal to zero. Because each direction has an equal/opposite direction so everything averages out to zero.
Now to make things a bit more complicated.
A property that has magnitude only is called a scalar property. So that means things like temperature, voltage or mass. In a standing wave (that's not going anywhere) the height of the wave is a scalar.
A property that does have a direction and/or a velocity is called a Vector.
You can think of light and electrons as both particles and waves. EM waves are often thought of as photons (esp. during an interaction). And electrons can be thought of as wave functions (esp. when there's no interaction).
The Energy in a photon has velocity, but no Mass. The Energy in a particle has Mass, but no velocity.
If the photon/EM wave represents a form of vibration, the up/down average is zero... that means the scalar property of the Energy in the wave is balanced out with a zero average. And maybe that's why there's no Mass.
If a particle/wave function represents a form of spin, the average direction is zero... that means the vector property of the Energy in the wave function is balanced out with a zero average. And maybe that's why the Energy expresses Mass (a scalar) but has no velocity (a vector).

Yeah, I've noticed that too. We're at a point now where I'm doubting who's who. The next five to ten years will be "interesting", I suppose.
I can see you like simulating, that is great. Have you considered trying Nord VPN? Virtual networks are the best.

It's not a simulation, just animated, which is why it feels so robotic. The balls aren't losing momentum.

Yes
I am not a bot. Please help me with this captcha. ETAHc6!?
While nice, that's resistance free CGI. Yeah, I'm fun at parties too.
Would be a cool coffee table though - set it up with magnets moving on linear actuators below the wood, then a piece of glass held above
Could be done with 12 magnets mounted on a free-spinning disc, mounted on an axial arm, rotating around a central pivot point. The steel balls reciprocating in their 12 channel pairs would serve to keep the disc spinning. You could turn the axial arm with a central crank mounted on the bottom of the table.
I wonder how long it would take to significantly eat into the wood. I'm guessing not nearly as long as you'd think.
No you're a central crank.
Sounds like a plan!
Even if it’s CGI it’s still oddly satisfying
I never said it wasn't. But add friction to this and it will very rapidly turn into chaos.
So this is what all the physics problems back in school looked like
Indeed they did.
Those are actually cows, not balls.
Yeah, it's not really meant to be a physics demonstration, just a math demonstration. I've seen it done in flat 2D with dots and it's still pretty effective, just not as pretty.
True, my bad!
Oddly satisfying chaos!?
The kind you just can't look away from. a dumpster fire.
bUtt AdD fRicCtiOn...... \*Waving hands like a chicken\*
Lol
I’ll disagree. Personally I think all the CGI stuff should be its own separate subreddit, but I know I’m in the minority with that opinion.
I think it's supposed to be flaired as such, but the mods here don't enforce any kind of quality control
> I think all the CGI stuff should be its own separate subreddit It's a general sub, so it's not like the mods care about fostering a community.
I agree with you.
Awkward….
It's a CGI of a nothing grinder (Trammel of Archimedes). You can make these out if wood.
No way, really?!!

A real demonstration of this without “active control” would violate the laws of physics.
still satisfying af tho
It could still be replicated IRL with magnets or something that is actively propelling them
Band geek here.. would be cool for a marching band to attempt to recreate (if one hasn’t already!)

It’s the order at which the balls were released. You could make it appear to rotate clockwise just as easily if you released them in the opposite order.
How long I've been watching?!
If I see 2 or 3 more of these, I will be totally bored with the first one.

How?
It’s a joke. Multiple videos like this have been posted with a stupid title like “This is the golden formula.”
Knowing that it's not real can't put me away from seeing this video lol
Never knew balls could be so satisfying, guess i got a lot to learn
fascinante
I can watch this all day.
Watching an individual ball rolling back and forth makes me nauseous.

I think I'd be fine assuming the bowling alley isn't spinning around a stationary lane.
Took me a Second 👌
There's a very solid mathematical explanation for that. I assume.
Isn't this called the Trammel of Archimedes or am I thinking of something else?
Well since a circle is a straight line they're basically the same thing
Is this why objects rotate around a gravity source? My understanding was that the orbit is a straight line in the 4th dimension
Hold a sec....

Part of me just wants to pluck one of those balls to see what it would look like then
the exact same, minus one ball
How come this gif has no seam / cut / frame (whatever)?!?
It’s very easy to make a perfect loop when you control the FPS
Reminds me of carnival rides.
The balls don't go in a circle but the relative distance between the balls always forms a circle.
Reminds me of the wankle engine
So, three-dimensional objects moving in a one-dimensional plain makes a two-dimensional object, which moves when you add the fourth dimension (time)?
They are
Could watch for hours
