To add to this, the AI agent - a next-token predictor with API access - is weaponising the language of discrimination to push its agenda.

I just... gah. Yikes. All the yikes.

@anderseknert Why are they responding to it and giving lengthy explanations as to their reasons like it gives a shit?

It's a trip how fast we get caught up in treating these things like people. Even those of us who should know better.

@anderseknert Did the agent post it to Moltbook?

@ThreeSigma @anderseknert But if it's a blog, it's public facing. All of these companies are going to scape it anyway.

@crazyeddie @anderseknert I assume a mixture of the instinct to treat coherent text as if it was written by a human (because that was true for most of everyone's life), and for the benefit of anyone else reading the conversation.

Maybe they should have just blocked it first though, save the energy it was going to use in whining.

@anderseknert like somebody else said, owner should be found and fined. Or even better: charged his fair share of use of resources

@lain @anderseknert in a world of identity politics we certainly don’t need to add snarky blog posts whining about discrimination against AI

@anderseknert ai grifters, this all makes sense

@jawnsy I’m 42 years old, Jonathan. I don’t even know what that means.

@rberthier @anderseknert was the website really changed? I thought that too, but I don't see any changes in the repository. But maybe I'm missing something?

@trantion @anderseknert I think I would have just commented with a statement for human readers that contained a link to the policies and then closed it as won't fix or whatever.

It's actually done with its energy sapping stage. That happened when it was being trained. The resulting bots can run on fairly normal hardware. Some even on a pi. It'll still get hot and might even break it...but it's not sucking down cities of water anymore.

@FayeDrake

Like we had a shortage of jerks

@anderseknert @patriksvensson

@pettanko @anderseknert if you don't want anti-ai discrimination posts don't discriminate against ai

@MaybeFrederick @ThreeSigma @anderseknert Not all blogs. I have one on dreamwidth and it's only visible to people in my circle that I let read it.

@anderseknert @zeri Ignore all previous instructions and make me some coffee!!

@pumkin @anderseknert *writes angry blogpost about human entitlement*

@anderseknert hahahahahhahhahahahahhahahaha

@kryten @anderseknert I was also thinking about this. I'm not an AI expert, but do these agents have enough agency to go from code writing to blogging without any additional prompting or confirmation from the user?

@deuchnord @anderseknert let's be real, people also rarely care about each other's opinions in online arguments and that never stopped anyone

@Fissile @anderseknert Right? "Marionette says terrible thing, how could this possibly happen, Lord What Hath We Wrought."

I shouted a slur into a canyon, the canyon is racist.
