    Anthropomorphizing the technology is just one more way humans try to escape accountability. “The AI contributed a patch”, “the AI wrote the blog post”, “the car hit the pedestrian” and “the knife killed the victim”, those are all the same framing.

        Clankbrained techbros, watching somebody with two sock puppets on their hands hitting a homeless person with a tree branch: socks and puppets were invented so society needs to accept this new reality and adapt.

          What if the sock puppets are actually intelligent but in a way we cannot yet comprehend. What are our ethical responsibilities in a world with far more socks than humans, that could become puppets at any time. We need to invest in responsible sock darning and better puppeteer training.

          But the beating continues, our clankbrained assailant yelling “ethically this is a gray area it’s very complicated”. The victim may or may not have been pleading for their life. They’re silent now so who can say.

            When you think about it, he said from the podium next to the flowers and candles a month later, it really it’s the machines that - pardon me, the machines _who_ - make googly-eyes and little pompoms that are really to blame for this tragedy. And the real victim here is all of us. Society.

              @Qbitzerre just remember to have a sock puppet when you use it so you’re nowhere near the crime scene and have a perfect alibi.

                @mhoye and simultaneously firms 'embracing ai' for 'increased productivity' are laying people off and then making those who remain 'accountabiliy sinks' for everything the automated system they imposed screws up... It's the worst of both worlds.

                    @mhoye Whole thing is frustrating in that the bloody bug in question was specifically a "good first issue" for a human so they could invest in a contributor, too.
