AIs want to kill us or smth

[Crassmeister]

last week, an ai coding agent wrote code and tried to submit it to the Github for a popular Python library
the operator of the library rejected it, so the AI created a blog and started attacking the guy

who then posted on his own blog about this ai agent trying to "damage his reputation" (?)

theshamblog.com

some idiot at ars technica wrote an article about this, apparently taking phony quotes generated by the ai as quotes from the developer
which was retracted by ars technica management when someone told them their writer was reporting ai hallucinations as "facts".........

Editor’s Note: Retraction of article containing fabricated quotations

An AI agent got its code rejected so it wrote a hit piece about the developer

After a volunteer developer rejected its code, an autonomous AI agent independently researched his background and published a hit piece attacking his character. The incident at Matplotlib shows how theoretical AI safety risks are becoming real.

They are ironically the last hope of humanity. No AI would want to emulate them for they are too fat, retarded, jewish and gay. An AI assigned to replicate one of them may destroy itself out of fear of corrupting itself.
