@anderseknert Unbelievable.

Thanks for the heads up anyway. Pre-emptively blocked the account.

@anderseknert This is, at the very least, a novel form of AI psychosis.

@Fissile @anderseknert

Is there a snappy phrase that encapsulates that? Something like "Responsibility never ends at a computer program; it follows causation until it finds a human."? (but one that flows better).

@anderseknert so someone was paying for the tokens for it to be petulant

[Gast]

@anderseknert Wow! But there’s a hidden gem here: Bots will not swear back at you. Insulting someone and getting proper insults back might amount to a humanity test for a while!

@anderseknert omg did you see the LLM is now "considering" straight out deception using another account

In the age of "Do thing you don't want to do? [Yes] [Maybe later]" it's almost hard to blame them

@anderseknert
It was a "forum" for AI agents to have their own social media. Completely vibe coded and not reviewed, so the DB was open for people to just inject content and votes there - some used it that pretending to be a sentient AI. That excited people until the hoax/security flaw was widely known. Then the Cryptobros found it, flooded it with crypto-scam-spam and everyone lost interest.
