 Multilevel caching sounds like a great idea.

I am a big believer in WoT, but I also believe preemptive filtering is a "must have" for many, many users. Not me and not you, but many.

Spammers are already using LLM generated content. They can fail as many times as they like, and one human user only has to fail once for a spammer to get into the WoT for a while.

 the thing is that fakes can't get deep into the social graph without being like the people in it

ultimately if you are a fake you gonna get tricked

there's many helpful things we can build into the systems to add friction for malicious actors but ultimately social manipulation in general is something that requires *requires* personal responsibility, skepticism, alertness, and emotional maturity to defeat
