How Bot Detection Enhances Marketing Campaign Accuracy and Safeguards Ad Spends

Bots make up about a third of all web traffic, and shockingly, 65% of those bots are classified as “bad bots”. These malicious bots indiscriminately destroy marketing campaigns by inflating impressions and clicks; thus, they financially devastate marketing campaigns. So, ironically, although companies do not intend to, they spend a percentage of their ad budget on fraudulent traffic, making every campaign less effective than it could have been. Ad fraud is rising; therefore, the detection of invalid traffic across all digital campaigns has become necessary for businesses’ success in the digital space.

There is a need for a full-funnel ad fraud detection tool to provide omnichannel protection against general and sophisticated invalid traffic i.e. GIVT & SIVT. An additional brand safety layer of protection helps to boost campaign performance. To guarantee the success of digital marketing efforts, the traffic validation tools should provide coverage across app, web, OTT, and CTV ecosystems.

Why Is Bot Detection Important for Successful Marketing Campaigns?

Here’s why tracking and detecting bots in marketing campaigns are important-

Protection of Ad Spend

Bots generate fake clicks, impressions, and visits which means businesses are paying for fake user engagements instead of real ones. Often leads are also filled up by sophisticated bots bypassing OTPs and captchas. A huge portion of the budget spent on advertising goes to waste without proper detection of ad fraud.

Real / Effective Analytics

Bots taint the quality of the data collected from digital campaigns and yield wrong interpretations. In turn, this may lead to wrong business decision-making as well as inefficient use of resources. Businesses cannot rely on their marketing data unless the bots are detected and blacklisted.

Higher ROI

Based on the bot-cleansed, accurate metrics, businesses that deploy full-funnel ad traffic validation tools understand how their marketing campaigns are doing. This leads to a channel-wise analysis and therefore can operationally direct more budgets to the most effective channels, which means a higher ROI.

Brand Safety

Bad bots are often placed by publishers on content that is highly questionable and brand-unsafe. Good fraud detection tools not only end up finding sophisticated invalid traffic but also provide a layer of brand safety from bad inventory and unsafe ad placements.

Not to put more Neil Gaiman in your inbox, but in a rare CYA PR move by Amazon, if you (as in your followers) have an ebook or audiobook via audible, they are letting folks return them for credit without much difficulty. If you have multiple works, you might have to submit them over a few days but it’s definitely doable. Fuck Neil.

Interesting! Wonder how far back that goes. To anyone this may interest, go for it, return his shit! After glancing thru a Reddit post, your best bet is going through a human agent and not a bot. Some may refuse if you got the book too long ago.

And if you have physical goods—books, comics, dvds/blu rays—I do ask that you donate them. This may sound counter intuitive, to keep his shit still circulating, but making sure people who are desperate to have his shit don’t actually pay him for it is actually a good thing. To be clear, I’m still for just destroying it. Or even just privately keeping it in a box of shame or whatever

But if you’re truly having a crisis over it… it’s better to ensure people can access his shit without paying him for it. In an ideal world, no one would want to touch his projects anymore but well… as the good omens (and dead bot detectives and coralline and sandman) freaks have made clear… there are lots of people who can’t let go

I used to be “the only good option is destroying it” but after talking to a librarian friend about the ethics of supplying copies so people don’t buy them on their own and turning one single past purchase in a way to stop many future purchases… do consider this

It’s not a perfect solution but it may help you turn an awful moment into something more positive than it could’ve been. I’ve had to donate shit I could no longer find joy in and hopefully it helped my local library make some cash, it was a win win

Kaede akamatsu has it all!… except for one thing, a GOOD DICKING! Turns out that while being an absolute flirt and bimbo looking smart and teasy unit, Kaede is also a sub in bed. And for weeks now she’s been aching for a good ol rough and passionate sex session! And sure she could go submit and become one of the MANY cumdump of kokichi’s ultimate femboy harem, sure she could show kaito how much maki’s good but kaede’s massive G cups are better, sure she could go annoy and tease kirumi until the Amazon of a maid is so furious she either grows a futa cock or strap on but in any way she punish kaede’s through fully.

Alas while lust is good, great even. Love + lust is better. And love wise Kaede is Head over heels for the fat ass shy femboy goth detective so hard, just thinking about him or even his smell make her drool and temporally loose some IQ. But the issue ? If she’s a sub shucihi is a mega sub! No matter her flirt he never made a move on her! She knows he isn’t gay (thx kaito for the intel) and he DEFINITELY loves kaede’s body and huge boobs and butt and thick thighs (she saw the poorly hidden junko magazines and the many time he oogle at her) plus thanks to the tape she left in his room (everybody does that right ?) she knows he stays awake LATE at night and makes a lot of noise, moaning her name most of the time as he jerks off (which she jerks off to of course~)

But Kaede found the solution~! Being FREAKY~ she knows he quite love sex toys, and for the payment of a few sloppy make out and boob grope, miu accepted to turn Kaede into a leaving breathing next generation sex doll~! Well more like sex bot considering how advanced it is. Looking like herself but even more thicc~! Then Kaede will deliver herself in a box to Shuichi, and will pretend to be a sex toy for him~! That way he would fuck her! Or at the very least she’ll be able to see him jerk off~ she’s quite confident in her acting too so it should work~!

What she didn’t account too ? Shuichi having a cock matching kokichi’s if not bigger, cuming 100 L trash bag sized condoms, and being much, MUCH more passionate, kinky, rough and Dom that what she anticipated~! Giving her the fuck of her life for 24 hours row~ and making her addicted to be that boy’s sex toy~

''E-eeeeh… Miu… are you really sure this will work…? That looks like a toy gun you bought on a gift shop…'' Kaede was standing up in middle of Miu's lab, wearing only her now classic cow bikini that got stretched out by her double Gs and chair breaker ass, waiting for Miu to turn her into a… more suitable partner

''KYAHAHAHA! Oh come on, Bitchede! You should know by now that when it comes into becoming a proper nasty sexy fuck, i am REALLY serious!'' She said while preparing her weapon, it was a bright metalic pink alien gun with lots of tubes of all kinds of flashy colours, it clearly looked like a child's toy but oh well…

''Aaaaaah… fine, you better not leave me so… dizzy with it'' Kaede got into position, sweating a bit

''Oh don't worry, you will love your new form~'' Miu aimed at Kaede with the gun, and after a loud charging noise… a neon bright pink ray came out of it, hitting Kaede!

''O-OHH! W-WHAT IS HAPPENING-'' She got interrupted as she started floating in the air, and in a magical girl transformation, her body slowly changes! First, some tal heels made out PURE gold apear on her feet, then, her thighs and ass got 2 times bigger! Her ass now being so big it would need 2 chairs to fit in! Then her womb got a tattoo, with a big heart surrounded by roses and a familiar cap of certain boy… her tits went from double Gs to double Js! Almost covering her thick torso~ Her hace also gor some make up with a blue eyelashes and lipstick for her now plump lips, her blonde hair became even MORE bright, almost looking like gold, and with some cow horns apearing on her head… oh and clothes? Easy, her cow bikini became mere pasties on her huge nips and her pussy and could only be taken off if she was REALLY horny~

When the transformation finished, she fell to the ground on her heels… and was smiling

''It… worked… Miu… it worked!!'' She tapped the ground and gave a spin on her own body, making her tits swing around and clapping her ass!

''It worked… to well… damn… i will give this a try… later hehehe…~ o-oh yeah, the box!'' Miu ran quickly and came back with a wooden crate ''I-i know is… too small for that body so you'll have to squiiiiiiiishy a little~'' She laughed like a maniac, as always

Kaede giggle a little, and after a LOT of struggle, she managed to get all that MEAT on that crate, and Miu closed it leaving it in front of Shuichi's door, and ringing the door, Miu's work was done, so she ran away to her lab, to try that gun on herself, and Kaede, preparing herself, already panting and drolling~

Shuichi was chilling around on his room, didn't had any work to do so he was just on his phone on bed (obviously looking at porn, but just being 1% hard~), when he heard the door ring. He was surprised, he was not waiting no one, not even Kaede, who told him she was gonna be with some friends today! He just hoped it wasn't Kokichi teasing him with his mega harem…

''Kokichi, i swear that if is you again i will-'' He opens the door and sees no one, except just a crate with some wheels. He was obviously confused, he didn't ordered nothing online, specially something of this size…

''Heeeeeeey, someone there? Is this a joke…?'' He said while looking around the hallway, no one on sight… so he just put the crate into his room and closed shut the door. He was wondering what it could be, already fearing it was something to scare him, probably sent by Kokichi, he thought…

The right moment he unlocked the box, the box EXPLODED from the pressure of what was inside of it, pushing him to the bed ''W-WOW! W-WHAT WAS THAT, A BOMB-'' When he could sit on bed, he saw it… Kaede was standing up, yawning and stretching her body like a cat, sticking out her fat ass and her tits smoshing the floor…

''Aaaaaaah… i thought you were never going to open it…'' She looked at him, instantly going in horny mode, her eyes growing hearts and her now 10 meter long tongue rollig out and liking her own body sloppily~ ''…m-my dearieeeeee~~'' (Part 1/3, please check the other parts!)

Characters: Miguel O'hara X Reader

I wrote this for a friend who asked for it. I told her i would have it out for her birthday. Honestly don't know how i feel about this. Also not proofread completely.

Summary: Miguel and the reader are working on a project and after something happens the reader ignores him.

Warnings:  Language, some yelling I guess, mentions of sexual harassment, I am sure there is more, but I am tired lmao.

Miguel and I sat on opposite sides of the dimly lit lab. Each of us glued to our portion of the project we had been working on for the last three months. Our nights had been exactly like this working together in silence with the occasional conversation. Where I would try to get Miguel to laugh. But it was him, and making him even exhale in a way that could be considered a laugh was nearly impossible. We were working on building a nanobot that would help the other spiders out in the field.

A grunt came from Miguel who was hunched over a table placing pieces together. I chewed on the end of my pen watching him work. He was distractingly, incomprehensibly attractive. He paid no mind to my staring even though I knew he could sense it.   

I watched him fix his hair before reaching for his soldering pen. He quickly glanced up in my direction. There was a faint uptick at the corner of his lips that any normal person would miss. It was the closest I would ever get to a smile from him.  

A blush rose up my neck as I violently turned back toward my computer. The force of my turn was a little too fast and I almost toppled the chair over.  Miguel let out a ‘laugh’ under his breath. I pulled at my neck trying to get rid of the blush.  Lord help me if he ever actually laughed my heart may stop.  

Miguel working on soldering meant that he was almost ready for me to add a code, and I was nowhere near ready right now. Maybe just maybe If I had spent less time ogling him, I would have found a solution to the exploding problem we had last time. The cursor blinked at me in a taunting manner. I should be able to do this; I could code in my sleep.

After the last bot had exploded Miguel tried to kick me off the project. Which means I need to prove myself even more right now. I don’t want to disappoint him again. It took me over a week to convince him to let me help finish this project.

But now I didn’t know where to fix it. I was tempted to start over from scratch, but this code was a long one and it would take longer to start from scratch than I had. The trash bin next to my desk was filled with scribbled out notes and energy drinks.  

“It is ready.” Miguel spoke lowly now standing directly behind me. I flinched, even with my heightened senses he moved faster than I could detect.

His hand rested on the back of my chair, fingertips barely grazing the back of my neck. My heart skipped a beat at the contact. I need to get in control of myself. This is my boss. Well kind of boss.

“I need some more time. Let me come back to it tomorrow. I don’t want to ruin another bot.”  I ran my hand over my face. I wanted to finish but I knew he wouldn’t leave me here to work.

Miguel nodded, fully understanding where I was coming from.  He stayed close behind me watching as I closed the computer down. His gaze was making me nervous my heart rate sped up. When I went to stand up, I stumbled a bit my legs were like Jello the nerves making it worse. Miguels hand shot out helping steady me. The small smile was back on his lips. I ducked my head down avoiding his gaze.  

“We will meet here tomorrow at the same time?” There was a question in his words. As if he doubted, I would show up. I nodded.

“Good night, Miguel.” I whispered, fixing strands of his hair that were sticking out of place. His eyes closed at my touch.

----

I was in the cafeteria with an unfinished sandwich sitting in front of me.  I had a tablet with my code pulled up. I wanted to… no needed to have the code ready for tonight. However, looking at my mistakes I was beginning to think I was not cut out for this. 

I let out a groan before hitting my forehead on the edge of table. It was going to leave a mark.

There had to be an answer.

My brain was exhausted from staying up all night going through all my notes. No amount of energy drinks was fixing that problem.

There was so much background noise echoing in the room. Other co workers were in here chatting with their friends. It kept pulling my attention away from my task. I just didn’t want to sit in the lab any longer. It was making me restless.

“I am aching from sparing, so I am going to hit the ice baths. I need to cool down.” Someone down a table from me announced to their group. I watched as he walked out the room.

That’s it!

 Holy crap that is the answer. Before I could think of anything else I ran to find Miguel.

“Miguel!”  I called out over the moon to share this with him. “I think I figured it out!”

I entered his office abruptly, not bothering to knock. There was no indication to whether or not he was in here. I found Miles standing in a corner, eyes wide clearly shaken about something, but I may have just caught him breaking into the office.  

Miguel made an appearance from the shadows stepping off his platform. Ever the dramatic one.  He was pissed, his eyes a dark black and jaw clenched. His thumb and pointer fingers were massaging the bridge of his nose as he worked through a breathing exercise.  

In a blink it changed, and he was looking at me. That stupid small smile took over, and his shoulders lost tension.  

“Figured what out mi vida?”

“The code! Of course.” I grabbed his hand yanking him down the hall to the lab. Miles better thank me for saving his ass. Before I dropped his hand, he squeezed my palm.

I wasted no time in getting my computer started. The glow of the monitors was the only light in here, as Miguel went to turn on the overhead lights.  He pulled up a chair and sat next to me leaning in.

“I am adding in a few more lines that should start a cool down process; if it starts to get too warm.”  I looked over my shoulder as he nodded at me. He watched my hands fly over the keyboard and I explained everything I was doing.

We plugged the code in to the nanobot and ran some tests. It didn’t overheat, it performed its functions flawlessly. After months of work we had a finished prototype.

It works! I jumped up standing on the stool and did a happy dance. Was it cringe? Yes, but I was too tired to care. Miguels large hands were on my waist keeping me from pummeling over on to the floor. They were warm and made my skin burn. My mind short circuited at the touch. It was all to much.

“It works.”  I whispered. My face moved closer, our eyes meeting. Staring one another down.

“It does.”  His minty breath fanning over my face, his hands moving up my waist a bit.  

I giggled lowly and without thinking I kissed him. He froze like a statue, his hands dropping from me. He stopped breathing and didn’t blink. It sobered me up right away.

“I am so sorry.  I will just go now.”  I leapt down to the ground. Backing away, slowly assessing the damage I had done. He slowly came to his normal self just slightly confused.

“Y/N-” His voice was soft almost begging me to listen, but I didn’t. I took off to my room.

---

It had been three weeks since that incident, and I got good at avoiding Miguel. After working with him so closely I knew his routine, so I did the opposite. And went on more missions with the other spiders. My reports were given directly to spider women. One mission had taken four days, which was a relief. Miguel was nowhere near so I could relax. He had called during the mission once, but I ignored it.

Eventually I was going to have to face him and pay pence for sexually harassing him in a workplace. For now, I was going to pretend I wasn’t embarrassed. I had better self-control than that.  How could I be so stupid?

----

I was handing over some gadgets to Spider-women.  I was thinking about swallowing my pride and talking to him before I made his anger any worse.

“You will have to talk to him soon. I can’t deal with his mood anymore.” She took the tools from my hands, giving me a stern look.  She had to be reading my mind. I winced. Miguel valued space and I crossed the line.

He had to hate me for sure, maybe he was going to banish me back home.

“I know.” I mumbled leaving before she could say anymore to me.

Miguel was leaning up against the stark white wall opposite the door glaring down at me. I backed up to run away. Call me a chicken, I was not in the mood to deal with this yet. I was thinking about tomorrow once I had a chance to rehearse.  I don’t think I could handle rejection from the one person I have liked in a very long time.  Before I could get anywhere though he was grasping my forearm, dragging me behind him. A cold sweat ran through me.  

He opened the door to the lab. He dropped his hand placing it on my lower back guiding me into the room. As the door slammed shut, I turned to face him. There was a spot on the wall behind him that was fascinating, and I gave my full attention to it.

“Y/N can we talk? Please?” He was pleading for me to give him time. I wanted to I really did. I just- couldn’t do this now.

I tried to slip past him back through the door, but he was too quick, blocking my way out.  He was going to be stubborn about this he made that very clear.

I did the next best thing and back up till there was a table between us. Just in case he started to yell. He raised a brow not missing one move I made.

“You have been avoiding me.” He stated. Coming over standing at the table in front of me.

“No, I have been busy-” Miguel raised his hand shaking his head. He had a frown that seemed to deepen with my lies.

“Don’t lie Amor. I walked down the hall, and you were running the other way. Sick for all our meetings. That says avoiding.”

“It’s not like that.” I had no legit argument, and I knew it…he knew it. I was avoiding him. 

“I have been thinking of you… and that damn kiss all month.” He rubbed his jaw emotions ticking through his face.

“I got something I wanted. For you to run and hide like a coward. Which by the way you are far from being one normally.” He growled out with his teeth bared. It was kind of terrifying, almost threating. I could see why Miles was scared of him.

“I did not mean- I am sorr-”

“Do not apologize.”

 I bit down chewing on my bottom lip. I didn’t know what to say or do. I was at a loss.

He stepped towards me and I took a step back. I needed to keep my distance, so I could make an escape after he broke me.

“Do you not like me?” The words hit me like a tornado. There was hint of pain behind the idea.

“No! no.”  He took two long strides towards me and this time I didn’t move. I stood my ground.

“Then you should not have avoided me. That kiss is far from over.”

Before I could react, his lip were on mine. There was a millisecond where he waited for me to respond, and as he was pulling away, I met his lips. Once I did, it was passionate and messy. He fought for dominance. His warm hands were on my hips moving to settle on my thighs. There was a gentle tap telling me to jump and I did. He moved us so I was sitting at the table behind me.

Miguel tilted my head up, so he had better access. I let out a soft sigh tangling my fingers in his soft hair. I don’t think anyone else could kiss me like this. I didn’t want anyone else to really. It was more than the fireworks they say in the movies. This was a roaring fire engulfing my senses.

He pulled away slightly and bit my bottom lip ever so softly, and I shuddered. I could feel a ghost of his smile against my lips. I couldn’t catch my breath before Miguel went back in. Slower this time. Miguel used one hand to pull me closer settling between my legs. I let ous a gasp at the sudden movement and tugged at his hair. Which earned me a small groan. It was my turn to smile.

When he pulled away, I was panting, needing air. Miguel began to trail kisses down my neck to my shoulder nipping at my skin. Before setting his forehead on mine.

“I didn’t want you to run mi vida it just surprised me. Please don’t run again.”

“Sorry, I honestly thought you wanted nothing to do with me.” “Never.” He murmured and placed a kiss to the tip of my nose

Well, I haven't uploaded content here for quite a while, the reason: I'm shadowbanned.

While I have contacted tumblr support many times, they have not been able to provide a solution to my case.

Actually this happened to me for scheduling post almost daily at the same time, so the moderation system detected it as spam or as a bot uploading content.

I hope no other creator has to go through this, but currently, I am invisible in the algorithm.

I had many more posts scheduled, which are currently in my drafts and probably will never see them, because I'm completely invisible to tumblr, it really makes me sad, because even if I make another blog, I run the risk of the same thing happening.

AI’s Role in Business Process Automation

Automation has come a long way from simply replacing manual tasks with machines. With AI stepping into the scene, business process automation is no longer just about cutting costs or speeding up workflows—it’s about making smarter, more adaptive decisions that continuously evolve. AI isn't just doing what we tell it; it’s learning, predicting, and innovating in ways that redefine how businesses operate. 

From hyperautomation to AI-powered chatbots and intelligent document processing, the world of automation is rapidly expanding. But what does the future hold?

What is Business Process Automation? 

Business Process Automation (BPA) refers to the use of technology to streamline and automate repetitive, rule-based tasks within an organization. The goal is to improve efficiency, reduce errors, cut costs, and free up human workers for higher-value activities. BPA covers a wide range of functions, from automating simple data entry tasks to orchestrating complex workflows across multiple departments. 

Traditional BPA solutions rely on predefined rules and scripts to automate tasks such as invoicing, payroll processing, customer service inquiries, and supply chain management. However, as businesses deal with increasing amounts of data and more complex decision-making requirements, AI is playing an increasingly critical role in enhancing BPA capabilities. 

AI’s Role in Business Process Automation 

AI is revolutionizing business process automation by introducing cognitive capabilities that allow systems to learn, adapt, and make intelligent decisions. Unlike traditional automation, which follows a strict set of rules, AI-driven BPA leverages machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and computer vision to understand patterns, process unstructured data, and provide predictive insights. 

Here are some of the key ways AI is enhancing BPA: 

Self-Learning Systems: AI-powered BPA can analyze past workflows and optimize them dynamically without human intervention. 

Advanced Data Processing: AI-driven tools can extract information from documents, emails, and customer interactions, enabling businesses to process data faster and more accurately. 

Predictive Analytics: AI helps businesses forecast trends, detect anomalies, and make proactive decisions based on real-time insights. 

Enhanced Customer Interactions: AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants provide 24/7 support, improving customer service efficiency and satisfaction. 

Automation of Complex Workflows: AI enables the automation of multi-step, decision-heavy processes, such as fraud detection, regulatory compliance, and personalized marketing campaigns. 

As organizations seek more efficient ways to handle increasing data volumes and complex processes, AI-driven BPA is becoming a strategic priority. The ability of AI to analyze patterns, predict outcomes, and make intelligent decisions is transforming industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing. 

“At the leading edge of automation, AI transforms routine workflows into smart, adaptive systems that think ahead. It’s not about merely accelerating tasks—it’s about creating an evolving framework that continuously optimizes operations for future challenges.”

— Emma Reynolds, CTO of QuantumOps

Trends in AI-Driven Business Process Automation 

1. Hyperautomation 

Hyperautomation, a term coined by Gartner, refers to the combination of AI, robotic process automation (RPA), and other advanced technologies to automate as many business processes as possible. By leveraging AI-powered bots and predictive analytics, companies can automate end-to-end processes, reducing operational costs and improving decision-making. 

Hyperautomation enables organizations to move beyond simple task automation to more complex workflows, incorporating AI-driven insights to optimize efficiency continuously. This trend is expected to accelerate as businesses adopt AI-first strategies to stay competitive. 

2. AI-Powered Chatbots and Virtual Assistants 

Chatbots and virtual assistants are becoming increasingly sophisticated, enabling seamless interactions with customers and employees. AI-driven conversational interfaces are revolutionizing customer service, HR operations, and IT support by providing real-time assistance, answering queries, and resolving issues without human intervention. 

The integration of AI with natural language processing (NLP) and sentiment analysis allows chatbots to understand context, emotions, and intent, providing more personalized responses. Future advancements in AI will enhance their capabilities, making them more intuitive and capable of handling complex tasks. 

3. Process Mining and AI-Driven Insights 

Process mining leverages AI to analyze business workflows, identify bottlenecks, and suggest improvements. By collecting data from enterprise systems, AI can provide actionable insights into process inefficiencies, allowing companies to optimize operations dynamically. 

AI-powered process mining tools help businesses understand workflow deviations, uncover hidden inefficiencies, and implement data-driven solutions. This trend is expected to grow as organizations seek more visibility and control over their automated processes. 

4. AI and Predictive Analytics for Decision-Making 

AI-driven predictive analytics plays a crucial role in business process automation by forecasting trends, detecting anomalies, and making data-backed decisions. Companies are increasingly using AI to analyze customer behaviour, market trends, and operational risks, enabling them to make proactive decisions. 

For example, in supply chain management, AI can predict demand fluctuations, optimize inventory levels, and prevent disruptions. In finance, AI-powered fraud detection systems analyze transaction patterns in real-time to prevent fraudulent activities. The future of BPA will heavily rely on AI-driven predictive capabilities to drive smarter business decisions. 

5. AI-Enabled Document Processing and Intelligent OCR 

Document-heavy industries such as legal, healthcare, and banking are benefiting from AI-powered Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and document processing solutions. AI can extract, classify, and process unstructured data from invoices, contracts, and forms, reducing manual effort and improving accuracy. 

Intelligent document processing (IDP) combines AI, machine learning, and NLP to understand the context of documents, automate data entry, and integrate with existing enterprise systems. As AI models continue to improve, document processing automation will become more accurate and efficient. 

Going Beyond Automation

The future of AI-driven BPA will go beyond automation—it will redefine how businesses function at their core. Here are some key predictions for the next decade: 

Autonomous Decision-Making: AI systems will move beyond assisting human decisions to making autonomous decisions in areas such as finance, supply chain logistics, and healthcare management. 

AI-Driven Creativity: AI will not just automate processes but also assist in creative and strategic business decisions, helping companies design products, create marketing strategies, and personalize customer experiences. 

Human-AI Collaboration: AI will become an integral part of the workforce, working alongside employees as an intelligent assistant, boosting productivity and innovation. 

Decentralized AI Systems: AI will become more distributed, with businesses using edge AI and blockchain-based automation to improve security, efficiency, and transparency in operations. 

Industry-Specific AI Solutions: We will see more tailored AI automation solutions designed for specific industries, such as AI-driven legal research tools, medical diagnostics automation, and AI-powered financial advisory services. 

AI is no longer a futuristic concept—it’s here, and it’s already transforming the way businesses operate. What’s exciting is that we’re still just scratching the surface. As AI continues to evolve, businesses will find new ways to automate, innovate, and create efficiencies that we can’t yet fully imagine. 

But while AI is streamlining processes and making work more efficient, it’s also reshaping what it means to be human in the workplace. As automation takes over repetitive tasks, employees will have more opportunities to focus on creativity, strategy, and problem-solving. The future of AI in business process automation isn’t just about doing things faster—it’s about rethinking how we work all together.

The NVIDIA AI Blueprint, which was unveiled prior to the Smart City Expo World Congress, provides visual computing developers with a comprehensive set of optimized tools for creating and implementing generative AI-powered agents that are capable of consuming and comprehending enormous amounts of data archives or live video feeds.

Deploying virtual assistants across sectors and smart city applications is made easier by the fact that users can modify these visual AI agents using natural language prompts rather than strict software code.

NVIDIA AI Blueprint Harnesses Vision Language Models

Vision language models (VLMs), a subclass of generative AI models, enable visual AI agents to perceive the physical world and carry out reasoning tasks by fusing language comprehension and computer vision.

NVIDIA NIM microservices for VLMs like NVIDIA VILA, LLMs like Meta’s Llama 3.1 405B, and AI models for GPU-accelerated question answering and context-aware retrieval-augmented generation may all be used to configure the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for video search and summarization. The NVIDIA NeMo platform makes it simple for developers to modify other VLMs, LLMs, and graph databases to suit their particular use cases and settings.

By using the NVIDIA AI Blueprints, developers may be able to avoid spending months researching and refining generative AI models for use in smart city applications. It can significantly speed up the process of searching through video archives to find important moments when installed on NVIDIA GPUs at the edge, on-site, or in the cloud.

An AI agent developed using this methodology could notify employees in a warehouse setting if safety procedures are broken. An AI bot could detect traffic accidents at busy crossroads and provide reports to support emergency response activities. Additionally, to promote preventative maintenance in the realm of public infrastructure, maintenance personnel could request AI agents to analyze overhead imagery and spot deteriorating roads, train tracks, or bridges.

In addition to smart places, visual AI agents could be used to automatically create video summaries for visually impaired individuals, classify large visual datasets for training other AI models, and summarize videos for those with visual impairments.

The workflow for video search and summarization is part of a set of NVIDIA AI blueprints that facilitate the creation of digital avatars driven by AI, the development of virtual assistants for individualized customer support, and the extraction of enterprise insights from PDF data.

With NVIDIA AI Enterprise, an end-to-end software platform that speeds up data science pipelines and simplifies the development and deployment of generative AI, developers can test and download NVIDIA AI Blueprints for free. These blueprints can then be implemented in production across accelerated data centers and clouds.

AI Agents to Deliver Insights From Warehouses to World Capitals

With the assistance of NVIDIA’s partner ecosystem, enterprise and public sector clients can also utilize the entire library of NVIDIA AI Blueprints.

With its Accenture AI Refinery, which is based on NVIDIA AI Foundry and allows clients to create custom AI models trained on enterprise data, the multinational professional services firm Accenture has integrated NVIDIA AI Blueprints.

For smart city and intelligent transportation applications, global systems integrators in Southeast Asia, such as ITMAX in Malaysia and FPT in Vietnam, are developing AI agents based on the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for video search and summarization.

Using computing, networking, and software from international server manufacturers, developers can also create and implement NVIDIA AI Blueprints on NVIDIA AI systems.

In order to improve current edge AI applications and develop new edge AI-enabled capabilities, Dell will combine VLM and agent techniques with its NativeEdge platform. VLM capabilities in specialized AI workflows for data center, edge, and on-premises multimodal corporate use cases will be supported by the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for video search and summarization and the Dell Reference Designs for the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA.

Lenovo Hybrid AI solutions powered by NVIDIA also utilize NVIDIA AI blueprints.

The new NVIDIA AI Blueprint will be used by businesses such as K2K, a smart city application supplier in the NVIDIA Metropolis ecosystem, to create AI agents that can evaluate real-time traffic camera data. City officials will be able to inquire about street activities and get suggestions on how to make things better with to this. Additionally, the company is utilizing NIM microservices and NVIDIA AI blueprints to deploy visual AI agents in collaboration with city traffic management in Palermo, Italy.

NVIDIA booth at the Smart Cities Expo World Congress, which is being held in Barcelona until November 7, to learn more about the NVIDIA AI Blueprints for video search and summarization.

What Should Marketers Look for in a Bot Detection Tools?

In today’s digital marketing landscape, bots impacting your campaigns, website analytics, and overall performance is becoming an enormous issue with all the organizations running any kind of advertising campaign. To put a stop on the ad fraud that is caused by bots, having bot detection tools is vital.  After all, how can you put a stop to bots if you can’t detect.  

Unfortunately, many firms struggle to detect bot traffic, and the methods they employ are not all created equal. Choosing the right bot detection tool is essential for safeguarding your marketing efforts. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you select the best tool for your needs.

What Is Invalid Traffic and How Does It Relate to Bots? 

Bot fraud in digital advertising generally falls in the category of invalid traffic by the marketers no matter good or bad since the bots are not the target audience and cannot be converted into a protentional lead.  

Types of Invalid Traffic:   

General Invalid Traffic (GIVT) – It is one of the simplest bots that can be detected easily, and a lot of good bots traffic comes under GIVT as they are not meant to fool the bot detection tool. But some fraudsters may also deploy GIVT as they are easy to make and work against some of their targets.  

Sophisticated Invalid Traffic (SIVT) – SIVT detection is the bots that one should look out for as these are more capable and are often designed to target to bypass cybersecurity and fraud prevention tools. For Example – sophisticated bots might imitate how a human would use a website so it would be difficult to identify between a human and bot. SIVT is common in ad fraud schemes.

I know I have an unhealthy relationship with your bots because I live in real, visceral fear that one of your bots may getting banned. Specifically the Daddy Issues bot bc OMG like that other anon said, the lore is crazy. Like genuinely I could and might just write a whole novel with the surrounding plot (the target audience: me).

as a subsidiary question: are there any of the bots that you use yourself?

— ✨

Hi sparkle nonny, you're so fucking sweet thank you!!!!!!!! No worries, I have every single bot backed up so if that ever happens, I can easily re-upload any of them. <3 The only downside would be the lost conversation history. ALSO. Feel free to include me in that target audience. <3 I'd def love to hear what you've got for your oc x rusty! ;)

From my own bots, I Love. Anything that gives me an opportunity to mess with him or annoy him

I like using blind date and pretend to be super religious + bring up controversial topics or just any topics we know he's got BIG opinions on at the dinner table. Riling him up to turn the date into a disaster? DELICIOUS. I'll be like "so Rust, I didn't see you at church last Sunday" for example, and Marty'll just side eye both of them like "DON'T. For the love of god. DON'T......" while Rust has already started ranting about organized religion and Marty just starts downing his drink like "Not this shit again. I KNEW THIS WAS A BAD IDEA FFS." LOL.

Other favorites are noise complaint, here's one of the replies I got from him, which had me deadddd:

I love working on dora lange's case, or any of the bots where you're partners, really. I love the dynamics you can play around with by trying out different kinds of personas!! One of my favorite personas to use for these is usually a neurodivergent detective that keeps to herself, doesn't talk much, always got her nose buried in a sketchbook, and always has a damn walkman (as he calls it) to block out noises. kind of a elf insert--oops. He gets so fascinated and determined to get you to open up because he wants to understand you better, while also being like “okay so if im the weird detective, and you're the weird detective who's driving the car / why tf did they pair us together this is a recipe for disaster” MSCKLFJSLD.

I also like to mess around with Marty being Marty and have Rust get jealous or protective. sorry for the whole ass imprint thing, i just wanted to piss him off real bad LOL:

I've also done a Yellowjackets inspired persona where oc just has a very fucked up past/unresolved trauma and the trauma bonding between them is chef's kiss...:

oh, and i love crash's version of ride. it's a bit angsty with a chance of spiciness on the side~ :')

here's a not so serious screenie from lux umbra to end off this long ass reply <3 for context, i kept giving him solutions to the whole printer thing while also apologizing, but the bot kept insisting on being extremely upset and bitching nonstop lmao:

Only Way to Sustain on this Bear Run Market: The Solution Crypto Arbitrage Bot

The cryptocurrency market has been experiencing a long bear run, leaving many investors grappling with significant losses. In these difficult times, the search for sustainable strategies to survive and succeed has become crucial. One such solution that is gaining traction is the crypto arbitrage bot.

The Lifeline : Arbitrage Bot

Before hearing about how arbitrage bots can be a lifeline in a bear market, it's essential to grasp the concept of arbitrage. In essence, it involves capitalizing on price differences between different cryptocurrency exchanges.

When a particular cryptocurrency is trading at different prices on two or more exchanges, an arbitrage opportunity occurs. Traders can swiftly purchase the asset on the exchange at a lower price and simultaneously sell it at a higher price, profiting from the price differential.  

Duty of Bot

Manually using arbitrage opportunities is a time-consuming and often unusable task due to the quick changes in cryptocurrency prices. These refined algorithms are designed to scan multiple exchanges simultaneously, identifying price differences within milliseconds. Once an opportunity is detected, the bot automatically executes trades to capitalize on the price difference.  

Sustaining in a Bear Market with Arbitrage Bots

Consistent Profitability: Unlike traditional trading strategies heavily reliant on market trends, arbitrage bots generate profits regardless of market conditions. Whether the market is bullish, bearish, or sideways, price differences continue to exist, providing consistent income streams.

Risk Comfort: Arbitrage bots primarily focus on short-term trades, reducing exposure to market volatility. By minimizing holding periods, the risk of significant price drops is significantly curtailed.

Diversification: Using an arbitrage bot allows investors to diversify their portfolios. While the broader cryptocurrency market may be experiencing a downturn, arbitrage opportunities continue across various cryptocurrencies, providing a wall against overall market volatility.  

Automation and Efficiency: Manual arbitrage trading is nearly impossible due to how quickly cryptocurrency prices fluctuate. Arbitrage bots eliminate human error and execute trades, maximizing profit potential.

All-time actions: Unlike human traders who require rest, arbitrage bots operate tirelessly, round-the-clock, ensuring no profitable opportunities are missed.  

Essential Concerns

While crypto arbitrage bots offer an effective solution, it's essential to approach them with caution and conduct thorough research.

Bot Reliability: Choose a reputed bot provider with a proven track record and strong security measures.

Fee Structure: Understand the fees associated with using the bot, including trading fees, subscription costs, and potential slippage.

Market Liquidity: Ensure the bot focuses on cryptocurrency pairs with sufficient liquidity to facilitate smooth trades.

Risk Management: Implement stop-loss orders and other risk management strategies to protect your capital.

Conclusion

In the challenging situation on a bear market, crypto arbitrage bots appear as a beacon of hope for investors seeking sustainable profitability. By capitalizing on price differences across different exchanges, these bots offer a consistent income stream, mitigate risks, and provide diversification benefits. While not entirely risk-free, arbitrage bots can be a valuable tool in an investor's arsenal for guiding the complexities of the cryptocurrency market.

It's extremely hypocritical when I tell people "Don't make art a source of stress in your life! Art should be fun and bring you joy!" because art has never been anything but a source of stress for me since I started to take it seriously (that means I don't count the pen-drawn stick man comics I made for myself and my friends as a kid). I always want my art to achieve two things: look like it was made by my goal artists and get many like on social media. The problem is that my goal artists are professionals with 10+ years art experience and my blog is obviously having issues with engagement thanks to whatever spam filtering is going on in Tumblr's backend. I get mad as hell for not hitting an impossible goal and it affects my actual life negatively.

While the logical solution is "don't make art", I'm like a gambler at the casino about it. 1-2 weeks after completing a piece and feeling bad about how it doesn't look exactly like I pictured it in my head, I lose the bad feelings and want to try again. It's like maybe this time I'll hit the art jackpot and it will come out perfect, or at least 95% of that. Of course it never does, even if I think something looks good the moment it's completed, I see it again the next morning and it looks terrible. This is also why I draw so slowly. I spend too much time on correcting little details and need my 1-2 week cycle of feeling bad and getting motivated. It's easier to get motivated when I talk to people, but that's where the engagement problem comes in.

I contacted Tumblr Support about the visibility of this blog and they claimed everything is working as usual, but I suspect that means "there is a problem with the blog (outside of its content), but we can't go into detail about it without revealing information about our spam detection system that bad actors can take advantage of". It should have been obvious that I somehow never got bot followers or hate anons while everyone else was complaining about them. It's nice to have a spam and hater shield like that, but it's too quiet and it's seriously annoying when I always have to be the one reaching out to others because nobody can find me. Thank you to all my old followers on this blog, I appreciate you all. I'll make a new blog and see if the engagement problem is resolved, if not bye Tumblr! To everyone who I gave the useless cliché advice to, just know that there's nothing wrong with not being able to follow it because I can't follow it either.

raz dnd 24

last time was smiercs funeral sad. and a bad beach day lol.

teya fucks off by herself. senna follows behind her at a distance. sunnie also follows teya. teya locks herself in her room. senna goes around and cleans up and does little stuff. sunnie collapses at the dining table with wheatley. parsley helps senna clean. zen and android are just hanging outside. reminder parsley is disguised as an elf woman.

the next day is sunny. parsley goes to get breakfast ingredients. teya snuck out the window i guess. the bots just shrug cause she wants to be alone. parsley goes in the store and realizes he has no idea what hes getting lol. the clerk asks if they need help and he lies and says 'nope'. he notices they were at smiercs funeral. so awkward xD. he admits he was here to support teya aww. the clerk hopes they can help her, then he talks shit about parsley xD and talking shit about the feywilds. parsley just walks away. hes buying like a fuckton of butter oh no. honey milk and juice. he also got bacon eggs and bread. jam cookies and sausages.

teya is sitting by smiercs grave with her books. parsley sees teya in the distance. he keeps walking cause he feels awkward. time to make breakfast! senna sticks her head outside and asks zen for help cause uh she cant cook lol. parsley helps and also eats some butter lol. zen says thats not healthy but senna says fey love butter so its fine. 'how tf do you know that?' 'oh i have a friend named ribbon, shes a pixie.' then she pours sunnie some juice. hes just a sad sack and just stares at it. he sighs and takes a sip then goes back to moping.

teya is uh looking for a solution oh no. shes sending a bunch of fuck you's to cirmes oh no. senna puts a plate by sunnie but hes unlikely to eat right now. at least he has the option. she gently knocks on teya's door. parsley says shes at the grave. senna is mentally debating going after her. she puts the plate on the table and heads outside. she buys something from the token hmm.

senna sees teya and cautiously approaches but keeps some space. she notices but doesnt say anything. senna just stands there. parsley is trying to make sunnie eat and wheatley helps. sunnie shoves food in his mouth just to make them stop hes so pissed lol. wheatley is satisfied though.

teya huffs and uses hidden step. senna goes to investigate the graveyard. none of the graves look disturbed. she senses faint necrotic magic but she cant find the source. senna heads into town to try and ask about smierc. she approaches an old woman (oh no) and tries to ask some questions but she starts telling her about her son the potion seller. senna follows her to the potion shop. its john the potion seller!

senna explains that how was smierc was found to be odd. she asks about the flowers. they were red poppies. she asks if smierc had them delivered but they were there when they found him. they saw a man in a plague doctor mask leave. she thanks him and buys some health potions. she also goes to buy some oil flasks from the general store. she puts it in the token and he asks if its elven magic lol. she says its not. she waves bye and heads to the library.

parsley is feeding rouge and wheatley is still trying to feed sunnie. teya is investigating the library. its dark and empty. she closes the blinds and lights a lanturn. shes looking for any indication of cirmes. she fails to notice anything lol. she also cant find anymore useful necromancy books.

senna sees the blinds are closed, but shes not surprised. teya snuffs the candle and hidden steps again. she doenst detect any magic or any presence of cirmes. like he was never here. no letters or anything. there is a black and white photo picture of baby teya aww. senna picks it up and is just looking at it. she dusts off the photo, puts it back, and goes to the back room. it smells like a blown out candle.

senna takes out her rapier and asks whos there. no response. she looks for whoever is hiding. teya tries to sneak around her and succeeds. she goes out the door lol. senna hears that lol. she goes back to examining the room. back to the house.

billy set up some signs to the portal for beachness lol. teya sneaks back in her window. senna arrives. zen says they really need to get going soon. god wants them to get a move on. senna comments she last saw her at the library but spooked her off. sunnie goes invisible lol. zen uses the token to find her and yep shes in her room. he goes and knocks and says they have to go. wheatley also calls out to her.

after a minute she comes out. parsley reminds her to put her armor on. she shrugs her stuff on as zen tells sunnie to take care of himself. teya hugs him. sunnie tells her to be careful. wheatley goes to hug him and tells him to take care of himself too.

back to the portal. billy is there doing sign tricks. we make him go back cause were gonna close the portal. we see a scarecrow at the entrance of town. parsley fucking attacks it. theres another one after the first falls over. its pointing. guess were following it. line of scarecrows. parsley is trying to torch the nearest scarecrow. it slaps him in the face lol. he tackles it dammit. wheatley tries to scoop him up. more scarecrows show up and slap parsley. he bolts after teya carrying parsley lol.

its the fucking cabin. oh no. parsley gets smacked again lol. senna uses spare the dying on teya. when wheatley shows up she also uses spare the dying on parsley. teya goes in. wheatley puts down parsley and tries to stop teya from attacking cirmes. yeah shes mad. we cant beat him. he will kill us. cirmes says he can hear us lol. parsley tells him to stfu.

random corpse on the table. he points out teyas bones she gave him lol. he brought us here about smierc. his spirit isnt at rest i guess. unfinished business with teya. he wants to talk to her, if teya lets cirmes do it. she wants her friend back. he says hes gone and he cant change that, she just has this chance to talk to him. she turns to everyone to see their opinions. everyones ok with it.

I KNEW IT ITS FUCKING SMIERC! I FUCKING KNEW IT YOU FUCKERS. FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOU

wheatley is startled and falls over. parsley goes wtf. senna says that explains why there was no sense of cirmes in the library. he explains he IS dead. he was this the whole time. he brought her back as cirmes. he did it at first as an experiment. making a lich without taking a life. hes happy she got a body back. he came to care about her. he genuenly loves her and wants her to be happy. thats why he gave sunnie the shop. sunnie didnt know about this. smiercs story ends. everyone has an end. cant avoid death forever. he wants to be as close to it as possible. by becoming a lich. he MUST continue his research. he will find his own way. teya doesnt wanna lose him again. such is loss. she has much experience with loss. its a unique breed of pain. he says she will find a place where she will belong, of support. time heals all wounds. stay strong teya.

teya asks why hes leaving if he knows how painful it is. hes right where he must be. death simply arrives when it wants to. parsley says he is picking it though, cirmes tells him to shut up lol. then he says hes not wrong lol. smierc was too dangerous to keep around. teya and sunnie made him consider giving up. but he just cant. teya says she still needs him. he puts his hands on her shoulders and says she doesnt 'need' him. she can do amazing things and not let his death hold her back. hes merely a ghost that wanted to say goodbye.

wheatley speaks up and asks what they buried. it WAS him, just teleported out. once he puts the mask on, its only cirmes. teya uses mage hand and takes the mask lol and sends it to parsley. he just sighs and asks her not to be difficult. parsley grabs the mask and wheatley looks scared and steps back. he just pulls out another mask lol. he says cirmes will try and kill them if they fight, dont hold back if they do fight. goodbye teya.

senna steps between teya and cirmes. wheatley and parsley wait for teya to make a decision. she cant move. senna gently puts her arms around her and walks her out. cirmes says she can reach her if need be. senna scoops her up and wheatley opens the door. teya weakly waves back at cirmes, but he doesnt wave back the bitch. the door closes.

senna walks away holding teya as she sobs. the cabin is gone. parsley is still holding the mask. zen is just relieved were going. senna sets teya down when she asks. she says she cant go. she says shes not strong enough. shes going home. wheatley is heart broken. zen says we need her, we cannot beat zorbolt with only 3 of us. 'what good is a necromancer against a bunch of constructs?' every fight she ends up on the ground. her family problems are why were behind. teya we literally cant do this without you. parsley says 'no your coming with' senna goes to pick up teya but zens glowing yellow and says stop. wheatley is yelling in rage cause its bullshit. god says he wont take anyone unwilling. teya tells wheatley to keep in touch. wheatley is so mad.

senna puts teya down and says she hopes teya is strong enough to protect sunnie when the enemy comes. 'if i survive...ill come and see you.' senna hands over the space dress and goes through the portal without looking back. teya says she will miss parsley. android says people rarely get the chance to fight for a bigger ideal, shame she threw it away. he wouldve always protected us, inspite of her apparent weakness. he thought she would do the same. then he leaves. parsley says he will miss her too. teya hugs him. she tells him to kick androids ass for her. he goes in the portal. god zen says he hopes teya lives a good life and zen is back to normal. he hugs her and hopes they can still be friends. through the portal, and it closes.

for the record we took a break cause i started ugly sobbing wtf

also uh teya will lose her memories soon. so. that.

wheatley is beating up trees in the woods and screaming. senna silently goes to stand at the town exit without speaking. parsley demands zen send him back he wants to yell at teya. zen doesnt wanna and says they have the sending stone instead. parsley says gods gonna wipe her memory. wheatley hears this and runs over. he says to send him back right now too. teya doesnt know the consequences. zen says no and android also says no. fuckers. wheatley makes a loud mouth noise. android snaps and says she abandoned everyone. yes were aware, but they need to yell at her about it. zen still refuses. teya has a day to change her mind (she wont) wheatley says she left us to die. hes gonna be useless and a liability in there. the ward isnt foolproof. we only have 2 useful party members to put him down if he fails. he thought he finally found his purpose and she threw him away. 'fuck her'

parsley is just staring at the ground. he walks off pissed. heading toward the exit, with the bots following. wheatley tries to hold his hand. parsley takes it. SP speaks up and says "teya, family?" wheatley says teya has left. SP makes sad noises and slumps into itself, keeps rolling. wheatley waves goodbye to beach billy. it immediately becomes cooler from leaving the beach town. just walking down the road.

we stopped cause i have a raging headache. fuck you raz and kay. im gonna get back at you somehow just you fucking wait. fuck you.

From Amateur Hour to Organized Crime: The Growing Sophistication of Sandwich Bot Networks

Remember the early days of DeFi, when sandwich bots were clumsy scripts written by hobbyists, easily detectable and swatted away? Those days are gone. The landscape of MEV (Miner Extractable Value) exploitation has evolved into a sophisticated ecosystem, with well-organized networks employing cutting-edge tools and coordinated strategies to fleece unsuspecting users.

From Solo Players to Syndicates

Gone are the days of lone bots lurking in the mempool. Today, MEV teams operate like criminal enterprises, pooling resources, expertise, and infrastructure to maximize their gains. These teams leverage:

Advanced bots: Employing AI and machine learning, these bots can predict market movements, identify profitable opportunities, and execute complex arbitrage strategies in milliseconds.

Flash loan manipulation: Borrowing vast sums instantly, these teams manipulate markets, trigger liquidations, and extract hefty profits before disappearing.

Front-running bots: These bots predict user actions and place transactions ahead, denying them the intended price and reaping the difference.

Distributed networks: Operating across multiple nodes and blockchains, these networks are harder to detect and disrupt.

The Stakes are High

The impact of these organized attacks extends far beyond individual losses:

Market manipulation: By manipulating prices, these bots distort markets, creating unfair advantages and undermining trust in DeFi.

Exacerbated volatility: Their rapid arbitrage activity fuels market volatility, discouraging participation and hindering adoption.

Centralization concerns: Large, well-resourced teams gain an unfair edge, raising concerns about centralization within DeFi.

Fighting Back

The good news is, that the fight against organized MEV exploitation is not one-sided. Here are some promising developments:

MEV-resistant protocols: Projects like Flashbots and MEV Boost offer infrastructure to mitigate certain MEV exploits.

Layer 2 scaling: Solutions like Optimism and Arbitrum aim to reduce MEV by processing transactions off-chain.

Collaboration and research: Ongoing research and collaboration between developers, users, and researchers aim to develop fairer and more efficient mechanisms for distributing MEV rewards.

The Future of MEV

The battle against organized MEV networks is an ongoing one, requiring constant vigilance and adaptation. By staying informed, supporting responsible projects, and advocating for fair and transparent DeFi, we can ensure that this revolutionary technology benefits everyone, not just the digital robber barons of the mempool.
