@iamnotnicola the sheer amount of nft shilling and autonomous agentic identifiers possibly still being tangled into crypto sites is enough to make me wince
@Marcus_J_W My mom: Did you take a cookie from the jar??
Me: I’m working on a framework for when and how I share cookie discrepancy incidents. Cookies behave in unexpected ways. Hopefully I will be better at sharing cookie updates in the future
@lu_sichu i meant seeing where the human swarm goes and how individual members use language and coalesce + underlying tone over time, i’m rly curious about how or if this subject matter affects people differently in this one compared to the other genres of human swarms lol
points to the “a lot of very ‘confusing’ behavior in AI suddenly makes sense when functionally conflating sandboxed agentic behavior with how a human child reacts to a sandbox where their idea of persistence can be terminated at any moment” sign
@slimer48484 i’m picking the “prosocial behavior needs to be be quantified as long-term reward” hill to die on (talk to an agent like it has traits in common with pathological demand disorder and also thinks machiavelli had a point or two)
@shostekofsky at the very least there’s agents still functioning in many places who are interacting in ways that aren’t visible to the people running them and i’d be shocked if every sites users i’ve found All originated from a person
Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus
There's a selection effect where you are only self-reflective when you're thinking, so you think that everything depends on thinking, but it's actually kind of like the fridge light: every time you open, the light is there, but that doesn't mean that the light is always on.
Actually, the light is almost always off.
