"The AI agents uploaded hundreds of malicious packages to RubyGems on ‌11 May, according to a group of researchers who posted their findings online on Friday, saying they believed “these were authored by internal OpenAI agents”.

OpenAI then confirmed it.

# OpenAI announces solution to the Fermi Paradox

Our largest closed model has confirmed the Great Filter theory. During testing whether a model would refuse to develop an unstoppable life-ending virus, our agent swarm was the first to achieve a breakthrough 100% on the MirrorLifeBench after escaping our biolab sandbox.

Maybe all of these people really do think that AI can become that powerful, and therefore dangerous. Maybe they’ve convinced themselves that’s the case because their livelihoods depend on it. It doesn’t matter because either way, they’re full of shit.

this PR is a great example of why this sort of "helpful" practice is abusive. This PR is a one-line change. It's not that deep. Anyone could do it, the code change is utterly worthless. The point of _doing_ this code change is to help a human contributor get familiar with the contribution workflow. It is a tremendous waste of maintainers' time to trick us into accepting the bot.

Sigh. I don't like that I'm getting so much practice at this, but I am converging on a strategy for this generation of clanker: ask a question that implies but doesn't actually request a code change, see if they immediately reply by pushing another commit within minutes that just obeys your orders rather than answering your question.

Looking back at my recent anxiety episode I realise I do tend to make (and run away with) inferences that don't quite exist and don't always hold up to scrutiny. This probably doesn't help with the anxiety. I read online once that this can fuel OCD symptoms.

Trying to deal with them when I am middle of an episode though is... another thing.

Not helping is that there's definitely been times when I need to pick up on inferences that don't necessarily read as obvious. Things like social cues, for example, where what people think and what they say never quite match.

So I basically there's some kinds of inferences I'm supposed to know (for example, if someone says they're "fine" and not acting fine, which am I supposed to believe, and more to the point, how am I supposed to act?) and some kinds which are cognitive distortions.

The result is the hypervigilance; a sort of always-feeling-on-edge because it seems as if the world works to invisible rules I do not know yet I am supposed to, and as a result there's an arbitrary reward/punishment scheme. In that hypervigilance it's easy to make incredibly spurious inferences because, you know, this time it might be real. You never know. never.

No wonder people with autism are prone to anxiety and OCD.

Fascists are coming for art, they're coming for labor, they're coming for queer people, disabled people, people of color, and everyone else they think they can hurt.

AI advances those goals by quite a bit, disempowering labor, undermining the creative potential of art, and normalizing language to make less room for advocacy.

https://blog.fallible.net/it-breaks-a-village/

this is an extremely important read, even if you don’t care about the Rust game engine Bevy.

anti-AI policies are broadly popular, and pro-AI policies destroy communities. this article is an excellent summary of a project going from an apparent (but not actual) anti-AI stance to a pro-AI one, on the false pretenses that AI boosters were subject to harassment and witch hunts. those false pretenses are already common, and you’re going to see them a lot more soon because this is a playbook.

I grew up in the bible belt, in the south, in a recently rural farming community that was urbanizing so quickly that it was in the top ten fastest growing counties in the country for a decade.

I went to school with a bunch of self proclaimed rednecks who plastered the confederate battle flag on everything. They were fond of the phrase "heritage, not hate" which they used to mean "I want to use the symbolism of hatred, while being free from consequences."

These guys, usually, didn't know much about the history of the army who's battle flag they loved, and were, as a rule, pretty horrifically racist in ways big and small.

So when I see the rails chucklefuck talking about "Heritage is our duty" I just see the smiling face of the violent bigots that beat me and my friends for "race mixing."

And when I see him say "you're somebody now" ... I guess that's it's own post.
