That’s a good way to reprennent LLMs. Very bad and very prolific consultants.

It shows LLM can do significant harm without the capabilities if an AGI.

According to Clayton, the AI agent involved didn’t take any technical action itself, beyond posting inaccurate technical advice, something a human could have also done.
Producing innaccurate technical advice, with a confident tons, at scale.
If it were an employee it would get a formal blame, and then demoted or fired as it continues.

- Comment on Explain it like I'm 5: Why is everyone on speakerphone in public? 2 weeks ago:
Using an ultrasonic dog trainer in public may piss off dogs, and other domesticated or wild animals in the vicinity. I woudln’t recommend this, except maybe as a last resort on rare occasions.
Kindly ask the person to use a headphone or earpiece may be more effective in many case.

The only justification you could possibly have would be that if we don’t do it, our adversaries will do it. And we will be subject to their rule of law.…

I seached the answer online to better understand the meme, and that’s one of the first results.
Sorry if that’s AI generated, I didn’t searched for AI generated answer and didn’t ask ChatGPT, this is sadly what seach results looks nowadays.
Will gladly edit the top comment if you can suggest a better article.

- Comment on A new homelessness law in Wales is being called 'world-leading' 1 month ago:
Putting less restriction on social workers seems like a step in the right direction.
The Welsh government isn’t the only one in Europe focusing on tweaking rules and on reorganisations, rather than putting resources where most needed.
Let’s hope there’s more to come to make housing more afforable, eg better regulation of airbnb-style rentals, making housing less attractive to speculators but more accessible to residents.
- Comment on Hail our new robot overlords! Amazon warehouse tour offers glimpse of future 1 month ago:
Yes, this is fuck.
I doubt a sane society would seek to replace as many jobs as possible with automation as a goal, ie intentionally. Making this a goa’ mean trying to remove humans and unions out of the equations.
A sane society may seek to decrease workplace injuries and be more efficient, ie wasting less resources while producing stuff. That coule involved better workplace conditions, better product design, and potentially automation. Automation may incidentally replace some tasks, even though it’s not the end goal.

- Comment on Sam Altman’s make-or-break year: can the OpenAI CEO cash in his bet on the future? 2 months ago:
We plan to be a wildly successful company, but if we get it wrong, that’s on us.
That’s incorrect. If OpenAI get this wrong, they won’t (be able to) make investor whole. People would loose part of their savings if they’re exposed to OpenAI through direct or indirect investments.
Even if they get it right, everyone suffers from the pollution caused by AI datacenters, and from the opportunity cost since people are investing in this hyped technology rather than more reponsible things like renewables, energy efficiency, …

It doesn’t end on the last installation screen. Then it takes lots of time and digging to scrub bloatware, and change many settings to somewhat more private since the defaults are bad.

- Comment on IDC warns PC market could shrink up to 9% in 2026 due to skyrocketing RAM pricing — even moderate forecast hits 5% drop as AI-driven shortages slam into PC market 2 months ago:
Meanwhile, Microsoft is making 400 million PCs obsolete by ending Win10 and setting arbitrary requirements for Win11. This is driving people’s perfectly fine hardware (and RAM) to end-up as e-waste, to be replaced by new, more expensive hardware.
- Comment on 8 Million Users' AI Conversations Sold for Profit by "Privacy" Extensions 3 months ago:
The extension remains live and featured as of this writing.
The Chrome Web Store should be avoided for security. Google keeps failing at moderaring their store, at the same time kneecaping legitimate adblockers with manifest v3 in the name of security, and failing to remove actual malicious extension after both manual review and dislosure of its behaviour by outsiders.
Running Chrome without web store without web extension isn’t ideal either, it would leave people without protection from malvertising nor tracking. So better avoid Chrome altogether, use Firefox or Zen Browser or Tor Browser.
