A bit, you know, the we are starting to see researchers just sit on the fire hose and there have been a couple of catches they've made that we didn't make. And that's awesome. That's like, you know, that's a great benefit. Hasn't gone like crazy on that front yet because we're we're pretty active in there.

So we're, you know, thankfully, it's not like we're getting a ton of like, oh, my gosh, I had no idea. But we are starting to see some folks do it. In terms of actual application, interestingly, I don't think I've seen anybody deploy a bot labeler that I think is totally crushing it yet. But one of the things that we did put in is the ability to run what we call labelers.

And labelers are essentially moderation services on the network. It is how our moderation works.

uh when somebody else is running it the application privileges our moderation so that like only ours is able to do what the application considers to be a full takedown but the uh other the user run or what we call community labelers are still able to do some pretty direct interventions into the application in terms of hiding and filtering out content and where we do see like really good pickups on that i think or like for instance the um

screenshot labelers for, uh, screenshots from like other social networks. Uh, yeah, that was a good one. Right. Because like, sometimes you really get, I think it's kind of like whenever a cat keeps showing up with a dead bird on the doorstep, you know, to show you the dead bird. So that's dead birding. And, uh, so a lot of, a lot of content from the dead birds coming onto the website.

And, you know, sometimes you're like, you know, I really don't. see that or at least I want like a little warning so I can kind of check in like, am I in the mood for that? So somebody was able to apply just a nice little AI modeler to be able to detect those things and then label them. Um, that is pretty great for improving the experience.

Uh, another one that somebody put out there that I don't think I've, I haven't checked in on it to see how it's doing, but, uh, like an AI slop detector. Yeah. Are you tired of AI-generated images? Well, here's a little labeler that at least, you know, you can filter it or it could just give you a little warning notice so that you could just decide.

Or, you know, if anything, in some ways that kind of works well as just a protection against misinformation. If it's, you know, I assume if the AI model can figure out that it's AI slop, it's probably pretty obvious. But still, you know, it's in the zone. Another one, this is not automated, but actually a decent one is a... uh, a politics labeler.

Um, and this one's spicy cause like, yeah, cause like what gets characterized as politics is, you know, it's a little bit, a little bit spicy, but, um, definitely not the kind of thing that we as a company would necessarily want to be doing, uh, for, because it is spicy, but for somebody else out there to be doing their best, you know, like, yeah, we think this is kind of political and like, it's not actually, you can have it just like completely hide this stuff, but honestly just having it behind a little interstitial.
