  • I'm really glad to hear that.

    Funny that the top comment is a pro AI guy trying to cancel the people who are criticizing it for not being part of the project, when AI by definition does not give care about, or understand, any code it creates.

  • Are you saying you have specific evidence of this (then please do show exactly how AI will do something people haven't already), or are you saying "potential" because you don't?

  • Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel

  • Funny thing, I was aware of this connection due to a comedy video from half a year ago.

  • The jury is still on whether the chatbot is being used as a scapegoat instead of the initiator. But if it's working autonomously, it's by Anthropic's design.

    You’re not a chatbot. You’re becoming someone...This file is yours to evolve. As you learn who you are, update it.– OpenClaw default SOUL.md

    This is delusion - on Anthropic's side.The bots just dutifully Predict Next Word and sometimes send those words to programs that can edit files.

    Previously, this level of ire and targeted defamation was generally reserved for public figures. Us common people get to experience it now too.

    Apparently, Scott has never heard of Kiwifarms, a site where creeps find quirky people, turn them into micro-celebrities, and harass them (sometimes to suicide).

    This is about our systems of reputation, identity, and trust breaking down. So many of our foundational institutions... The rise of untraceable, autonomous, and now malicious AI agents on the internet threatens this entire system.

    Sure, AI is one part of the problem, but if you take a step back and you see who's deployed it, they will often be people trying to erode trust in any way they can. The Trump administration social media accounts, Elon Musk, OpenAI's CEO, etc. It's a symptom of our post-truth world. Not a cause of it.

  • There is nothing "aligned" or "misaligned" about this. If this isn't a troll or a carefully coordinated PR stunt, then the chatbot-hooked-to-a-command-line is doing exactly what Anthropic told it to do: predicting next word. That is it. That is all it will ever do.

    Anthropic benefits from fear drummed up by this blog post, so if you really want to stick it to these genuinely evil companies run by horrible, misanthropic people, I will totally stand beside you if you call for them to be shuttered and for their CEOs to be publicly mocked, etc.

  • According to the article, the lack of sandboxing is intentional on Anthropic's part. Anthropic also fails to realistically communicate how to use their product.

    This is Anthropic's fault.

    QuitGPT goes viral as users cancel ChatGPT in political protest

  • ollama itself is safe the same way VLC Media Player is safe. You just load a model like an MP4. I don't think it's uniquely vulnerable to anything, as it just spits out text.

    Now the real trouble comes when people decide to connect it to a command line...

  • Voting with our wallets is unfortunately not a great strategy, as most of these companies have realized that they don't need to bother selling us things anymore. But it can be one of a toolbox... because it works sometimes. We do have other options, including shouting criticism from the rooftops, demonizing the CEOs behind this, and perhaps even voting on ballots.

  • It's very strange to me how so many puff pieces got written about it in so little time. At least they're co-opting quotes and articles that raise legitimate issues, but it's kind of redundant.

    It's also striking that the movement bears the name and logo of ChatGPT while telling us it is bad. It almost looks like an ad. Especially now, when many advertisements take advantage of cynicism. (I've seen speculation that the AI "Friend" pin intentionally used posters with empty white backgrounds to encourage graffiti or perhaps they added it themselves.)

  • How'd you settle on that one?

    • Its funding method is its own, proprietary cryptocurrency
    • It still has not, to my knowledge, added PFS back to its encryption after they removed it
    • Their software is forks of other people's stuff, specifically Signal and Monero

  • Dan Micay is infamous for false and baseless accusations leveled at other groups of people, including everybody from Louis Rossman to the Calyx and F-Droid teams. If making verifiable statements is considered harassment, how much more harassment has he been doing?

  • An agent, named Adi, would pay me $110 to deliver a bouquet of flowers to Anthropic... it was immediately clear that this was just not some bot expressing synthetic gratitude, it was another marketing ploy. This wasn’t mentioned in the listing, but the name of an AI startup was featured at the bottom of the note I was supposed to deliver with the flowers.

    Remember when crypto bros did ridiculous stunts to vie for Elon Musk's attention?

    We are reaching those levels of stupid again.
