🧵: What the AI industry calls "agents" (a marketing term) are essentially software systems that use LLM output as further LLM prompts and as input for interfaces with useful computer systems (so the agent can write files, talk to the network, etc, and isn't just spewing its text into the void).

Inherently error-prone langue models start to degrade at scale after a while. Fascinating, not. “There’s clearly evidence of them trying to be less transparent than we expect.” Delusional. And where is the evidence? Not on the hideous emergence world landingpage linked.

The way AI is going to “kill everyone” is just by manufacturing consent for ever worse outcomes & conditions, like many governments do. It is a governing technology after all. And like bureaucracy it launders responsibility so the people & institutions who deploy it aren’t accountable for the harms
