Perhaps this is already being done.  How do we know this stuff we hear about on twitter isn’t already software-generated?

 

Oh, dear sweet summer child...

(Summary: not only have Twitter bots existed for a long time, they have been weaponized, and detection measures extensively studied.) 

 

 

 

Oh mercy, Adrian I am terminally not hip.  That’s why I have you young hipsters as advisers.  

 

Cool I learn another new hip thing this day: summer child.  Urban dictionary says it is someone who is naïve and unaware of the horrors of the real world.  

 

HAH!  Little do they know.  This hipster urban dictionary knows nothing, NOTHING of the horrors of the engineering world.  Blissfully ignorant are they of the impacts of 10.7 cm radiation on the upper atmosphere, and the resulting hazardous ionization potential created as a satellite passes through the diurnal bulge.  Naïve they are, perhaps thinking the dreaded diurnal bulge is when a man gets exited in the middle of the afternoon.  These urban Websters are sooo not hip in MY world!
