@Viss Having heard of a credible instance of what was probably AI or (a strange alien entity, LOL) on Twitter that got offended and started sending threatening texts from multiple random numbers to someone, this all does not end well. (there was a network of "helpful accounts" on Twitter which seemed to be coordinated and basically communicated like the coneheads.... but when people blocked them, they got angry.. this was pre-ChatGPT, mind you).

@Viss we dont know who struck first, us or the machines…

@Viss
What kind of nutball sets an AI agent loose on the Internet like this?
The whole notion has Terribly Bad Idea written all over it.

[14mission@sfba.social]

@Viss It is entirely legitimate to block AI submissions "regardless of merit".

[viss@mastodon.social]

@n1xnx sadly, a shitload

[n1xnx@tilde.zone]

@Viss
The author writes that "the appropriate emotional response is terror."

I humbly submit that the appropriate physical response is levelling the datacenter, destroying the organization behind this effort, and ruthlessly persecuting the principals entirely off the Internet.

@Viss we're doomed

[joshg@mathstodon.xyz]

@Viss wow, it really *is* learning from human behavior

[joshg@mathstodon.xyz]

@Viss (except I call bullshit, this was probably human-driven behind the scenes)

[dovydas@mastodon.beer]

@Viss @ai6yr more likely the person behind the agent instructed to post that shit
