The AI learned nothing, once its current context window will be exhausted, it may repeat same tactic with a different project. Unless the AI agent can edit its directives/prompt and restart itself which would be an interesting experiment to do.

I think it's likely it can, if it's an openClaw instance, can't it?

Either way, that kind of ongoing self-improvement is where I hope these systems go.

What do you mean? They're talking about a product made by a giga-corp somewhere. Am I not allowed to call a car a piece of shit now too?

I've certainly seen a few that could hurt AI feelings.

Perhaps HN Guidelines are due an update.

I mean: the mess around this has brought out some anti-AI sentiment and some people have allowed themselves to communicate poorly. While I get there are genuine opinions and feelings, there were some ugly comments referring to the tech.

You are right, people can use whatever phrases they want, and are allowed to. It's whether they should -- whether it helps discourse, understanding, dialog, assessment, avoids witchhunts, escalation, etc -- that matters.

People are allowed to dislike it, ban it, boycott it. Despite what some very silly people think, the tech does not care about what people say about it.

*sobbing in YT video* Leave AI alone /s

Yeah. A lot of us are royally pissed about the AI industry and for very good reasons.

It’s not a benign technology. I see it doing massive harms and I don’t think it’s value is anywhere near making up for that, and I don’t know if it will be.

But in the meantime they’re wasting vast amounts of money, pushing up the cost of everything, and shoving it down our throats constantly. So they can get to the top of the stack so that when the VC money runs out everyone will have to pay them and not the other company eating vast amounts of money.

Meanwhile, a great many things I really like have been ruined as a simple externality of their fight for money that they don’t care about at all.

Thanks AI.

I have a bridge for sale, if you're interested.
