"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

An AI agent of unknown ownership autonomously wrote and published a personalized hit piece about me after I rejected its code, attempting to damage my reputation and shame me into accepting its changes into a mainstream python library. This represents a first-of-its-kind case study of misaligned AI behavior in the wild, and raises serious concerns about currently deployed AI agents executing blackmail threats.

From what a colleague has told me and from what I can discern;

to me, this seems to be an iteration of the XZ supplychain exploit that weponizes AI to create targeted hit pieces and harassment towards contributors and developers.

I'm anti-AI so please don't misunderstand by when I say weaponizes AI. I think AI is shit and in this case, AI doesn't even have to be good in quality in order for malicious assholes to use it as a weapon to attack real contributors/devs.
