The idea that internet mobs are unthinking Searle's Chinese Rooms, blindly pattern matching w/o understanding: http://www.metafilter.com/143579/Gamergate-as-we-know-it-now-is-a-hate-group#5780437 …

@sarahjeong but, you know, if you act like a bot...
@hondanhon I've been so focused on harm to targets that I didn't even consider dehumanization of component pieces

@sarahjeong I do wonder if Chinese Roomification (find a keyword, respond with pastebin copypaste) is an internet mob survival tactic. -
@hondanhon ugh this is why I want anthropologists and sociologists studying internet mobs -
@sarahjeong Totally needs to happen. Like combat research. -
@hondanhon idk where the funding will come from -
@sarahjeong idk, Berkman Centre? Knight? -
@hondanhon maybe Microsoft Research. I don't think Berkman has $ lying around. Idk about Knight -
@sarahjeong what, like dana? I don't know, it's like even more contentious than the CDC trying to research gun control. -
@hondanhon yeah, but this stuff is going to spawn all kinds of shitty law, police action, new code. With a poor understanding of what it is

@sarahjeong actively retreat from conscious debate (obviously happening) and instead return to blind pattern-matching as argument -
@hondanhon@sarahjeong No different than every brand who treats this as a broadcast channel, or folks w/ large followings who have choice. -
@dymaxion@sarahjeong Good point. Maybe a side-effect of large broadcast channels? -
@hondanhon@Dymaxion@sarahjeong social media tends to encourage bots to act human, and humans to act like bots. -
@sevensixfive@dymaxion@sarahjeong *writes that one down* -
@hondanhon I can't remember when I first said it, but this was over a year ago:https://twitter.com/sevensixfive/status/295731049630138369 … -

@sarahjeong OMG, and anyone else - e.g. politicians - who respond with pattern-matching "talking points" -
@sarahjeong and "talking points" and "ops" are patterns that net mobs copied, child-like from "grownups" -
@hondanhon oh fuck
