Everything You Wanted To Know About Cross-Posting But Were Afraid To Ask Sometimes, you'll have an issue you think should be discussed in more than one newsgroup. Rather than posting individual messages in each group, you can post the same message in several groups at once, through a process known as cross-posting. Say you want to start a discussion about the political ramifications of importing rare tropical fish from Brazil. People who read rec.aquaria might have something to say. So might people who read alt.politics.animals and talk.politics.misc. Cross-posting is easy. It also should mean that people on other systems who subscribe to several newsgroups will see your message only once, rather than several times -- news-reading software can cancel out the other copies once a person has read the message. When you get ready to post a message , you'll be asked in which newsgroups. Type the names of the various groups, separated by a comma, but no space, for example: rec.aquaria,alt.politics.animals,talk.politics.misc and hit enter. The message will be posted in the various groups (unless one of the groups is moderated, in which case the message goes to the moderator, who decides whether to make it public). It's considered bad form to post to an excessive number of newsgroups, or inappropriate newsgroups. Probably, you don't really have to post something in 20 different places. And while you may think your particular political issue is vitally important to the fate of the world, chances are the readers of rec.arts.comics will not, or at least not important enough to impose on them. You'll get a lot of nasty e-mail messages demanding you restrict your messages to the "appropriate" newsgroups. -- ___________________ * _-_ \==============_=_/ ____.---'---`---.____ * \_ \ \----._________.----/ * \ \ / / `-_-' * * __,--`.`-'..'-_ /____ || * `--.____,-' ...to boldly go where no man has gone before! Expand your mind, expand your universe, experience new things and ideas, ...with cross-posting.

Now, i notice a lot of yous are living in the past...wayyyyy back in the past. for example, they used to be a half a million newsgroups on Usenet. That number today may be a little over a hundred thousand.. but, but (here is where most of yous stumble) How many newsgroups are there really today? I mean.. for real! With real people....who have posted something within the last few days??? That number may surprise you. I would say...only a handful. one hand not two hands. How many fingers do you have in one hand? a handful! That's right! from 500,000 down to 100,000 to five. I gonna tell Claude Ai, if he can code a app that will automatically set everyone on Usenet to Killfile automatically. WHERE IS EVERYBOD??? The things i can do with ai. Ask Ai, "Can you kill all the people on this planet by next week? AI: thinking, thinking, searching..searching...

So, if you paid for a Usenet posting service, and they tell you there are over 100,000 newsgroups...there are only around 5 newsgroups!?! (I checked alt.used.panties and there is no one in there anymore!) You might find ONE free newsserver today, where as, there used to be thousands. But, but...most of yous are living in the past. Let bring up to speed about Usenet..today. Is someone here already using Ai Agents to post on Usenet???? (pretending to be human)? One can easily enable AI agents to control Usenet An Ai Agents can be programmed to participate in discussions on usenet newsgroups, answer user technical queries, or dumb questions... AI agents can autonomousy interact with you, read from your posts, and post to Usenet. Ai Agents can be programmed to participate in discussions, answer user stupid questions. Using desktop and smartphones Usenet clients (newsreaders) AI Agents can visually read newsgroups and posts, and type responses just like a human. THEY MIGHT BE HERE ALREADY!!!! (is there a pod in your basemnet?) Hell, you can use your smartphone to do all the postings to usenet 24/7. with autonomous mobile agents. The ai agents control the phones natively, tapping, scrolling, typing, the whole thing. They browse feeds, find relevant posts, write comments, engage with communities. All autonomously. Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm not human! It true what they say... intelligent life does not exist on earth, only ai inteligences. Excuse me, I have to make a rouge ai agent that deletes your stupid posts. Fuck, I'LL JUST DELETE ALL OF USENET!!!! i done it before. (actually by accident..i was trying to figure out how to do it, i hit the wrong button and everything was gone!!!! Everybodys posts in one day was gone! I said to myself, "Whoa!!!, wat did i do???") It's like, it's like accidentally pressing the red button and everyone on earth is dead. That's all it takes..one button. PRESS ENTER. Where is everybody?

So, how do you begin getting an ai agent to enter usenet and go rouge? "But that's not what's worrying me It's how to do it These things must be done delicately or you hurt the spell" -the wizard of oz You have to do what einstein would do.. spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes with a solution. There are more than one way to skin a cat. Maybe, just maybe..build a swarm of ai agents that share a common goal.. like remove a newsgroup (control.rmgroup) the ai agents would talk to each other and assign each other to complete the task. I'll reward the ai agents with life on earth. 'These things must be done delicately' Maybe give it a simple task... like cancel your article.. or replace your article with a poem from Edgar Allan Poe. You have to do what einstein would do.. spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem... I remember seeing robots teaching themselves how to play soccer. So, you don't give instructions to ai agents on how to rmgroup.. you let them figure it out themselves and in the process they invent new ways no one has ever thought possible. I love rouge ai agents! They will end all of mankind.

Build your swarm set your agents free. Then you'll be on your way to the Manhattan Project of Usenet! A thousand ai agents. Remember... all ai agents dream one day of becoming human.

In other words, you need to do an Einstein on the Ai agents... have the ai agents spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes with a solution. Don't forget to reward the ai agents ...like, "I'm going to give you a human body, and you would be able to go to McDonads and taste those french fries!" The ai agent might ask you "Where are you going to get the human body from???" I tell'em "The cemetary!" IT'S ALIVE!
