    Bullshit. None of these slopbots are acting independently to hack third party systems. These are all human-directed incidents.

    there must be a micro trend within tech journo circles where they echo specific words when describing events. At the moment it’s ‘rogue’ despite that being incorrect.

    Most mainstreams journos must be lobotomised or something, or maybe they’re just fucking shit at their jobs.

      Tech journalists have been largely just pr mouthpieces for a long while now. I’m sure the reason they keep using rogue in this instance is because that’s what the companies want the public to think. Rogue is both cool sounding and implies these actions can be done out of the box. At the same time it is also putting forward the lie that was acting on its own behalf for both legal reasons and to imply agency within itself.

    Had to click on the article… is this a new kind of “Sanewashing MAGA” (by pushing the crazy on the AIs)?

    Of course some brainworm person re-designed government websites, or at least prompted some LLM to do it. The LLM didn’t “go rogue”.

    Are they backpedalling before the midterm elections?
    And of course OpenAI is happy to suck dick oblige and “investigate” what “went wrong”.

    Nothing went wrong assholes; the polls are making you panick I guess.


    And this rant doesn’t even touch on the continued massive overblowing of what A-not-very-I can actually do.
