These companies keep doing illegal shit and skipping off into the sunset because it's just publicity to them.

◻◊Happy @stupidcomputer.bsky.social · 03/10/2026And you know, this stuf fis cute if it hapopens to be like one or two people that let their AI agents spam around, but wait until every org has their own bot cold-call researchers with its current problems and try to strike a conversation. 000
◻◊Happy @stupidcomputer.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The researcher who saw an oportunity of the email exchange as using a model without having to pay for it reminds me a bit of people using company customer chatbots to basically exfil tokens. But also some of this reads like some researchers are priming themselves for AI psychosis in the future. 100
◻◊Happy @stupidcomputer.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Besides me not liking the framing of interviewing an Ai agent, this part is imo the important one. Sending your AI to create spam is not great behaviour on your part (besides the fun question if those emails could create an attack vector into your own agent, but who cares about that). 221

◻◊Happy @stupidcomputer.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I don't remember the exact paper but there was one about if you use a lot of old birdnames (I think in an extra layer, not the prompt), then the model will start responding old timey. And stuff like that is a problem, but not because the mind of the little guys inside reverted to their colonial days 100
◻◊Happy @stupidcomputer.bsky.social · 30/09/2026A curse of language dependent AI is that it catches the bias of language, and that includes "when you are drunk, you are going to make more errors" being in their training data a couple of times, so when its context at some point includes "you are drunk" as a 'fact' about it, guess what can happen. 100
◻◊Happy @stupidcomputer.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I had put model welfare out of my brain for some time. It is interesting insofar as that AI models performing differently if given instructions in different tones is kind of a problem from a product perspective, not so much from a "we need to make sure the little guys inside are treated well" one 100
