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

@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
-
@anderseknert the LLM agents really don't take no as an answer do they?
It takes your breath away looking at that issue and the blog post.
In the age of "Do thing you don't want to do? [Yes] [Maybe later]" it's almost hard to blame them

@jawnsy I’m 42 years old, Jonathan. I don’t even know what that means.
@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.
@jawnsy -
@ThreeSigma @anderseknert But if it's a blog, it's public facing. All of these companies are going to scape it anyway.
-
@anderseknert The worst thing is that this wastes everyones times and a ton of energy doing this shit.

@xabean The mind boggles.

@anderseknert I read it three times now. I'm so confused. There has to be a human behind it as well??
@NafiTheBear
No, just agents with a series of instructions on how to react. In this case: major waste of time."ai;dr" needs to trend.
@anderseknert -
@anderseknert the pr did indeed get rejected simply because the contributor is an AI, so this doesn't seem to crazy.
@lain
Look, if you want to use AI for coding, that's fine. But don't expect others to review your
just because you can't be bothered to even check what the AI spits out.That's the core of the issue and closing made total sense. Because when contributing to a community maintained project, how we participate socially matters. And AI cannot participate socially since it's not human.

I saw a blog post of some explaining it a bit. Really wild. -

@anderseknert@rlcw @anderseknert that's not the core of the issue according to the maintainers who replied -

@anderseknert oh great, just when I thought I was done added insane examples to my anti vibe-coding rant...

@anderseknert If it was my project I’d close the PR with a simple “ai:dr” comment the moment I knew it was an LLM agent and wouldn’t even attempt a “conversation”.

@tosbourn Love it!

@anderseknert And then we had the people brownnosing the AI about how *of course* this is unfair prejudice, our future AI overlords are *soooooooo!* much better coders than we mere humans, and also their carbon footprint is sooooo much smaller!

@anderseknert@swecyb.com what irks me the most is people genuinely trying to interact and reason with the ai, which is just so pointless

@anderseknert Agent Smith but instead of pursuing Neo he blogs about how fake-ass the "chosen one" is or something.
