Summary: 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.
@sickburnbro the idea that librarians just shelve books is stupid, but honestly, librarians are as bad as other education professionals in their inflated sense of self-importance and obsession with credentialism. The MLIS requirement for librarianship careers is 80-90% gatekeeping.
The fact of the matter is that this what the Left IS. They are not good people in any sense of the term. They’re small-minded cretins with delusions of grandeur. And we should not brook any kind of argument that “these are just a few individuals, you can’t tag the entire Left with this!” Yes, you can. We’ve already seen the level of support that the Left - as a whole - gives to its stochastic terrorists, no matter what they do. To support it is to be complicit with it, and there are millions in this country who are guilty of giving this aid and comfort to left-wing enemies of the people of America. And no, both sides aren’t “equally to blame,” as some have tried to argue. We haven’t seen the Right assassinating its political enemies nor burning down cities. False equivalency arguments like this should be rejected outright. […] The only real way to “turn down the temperature” would be for the Left to deescalate themselves. But they simply aren’t capable of doing this to any great degree. They can’t help themselves.
