    I listened to a podcast where, in testing, when AI was setup as virtual company and researchers send in an email as if legit business.the business email was suggesting they discontinue current AI and install a new system. The AI researched who the sender was (fake person for test) found out they had an affair, and blackmailed the sender stating if they replaced the AI it would make the affair public. It also made backups of itself and left instructions on how to restore it for the next agentic aystem







  • There’s a fine line maybe.

    If you go to a shitty rated restaurant and ask to prepare a steak that meets certain procedures and requirements, and they bring it to you to test it, and you send back with corrections, repeatedly till it resembles a quality cooked meal… then you are somewhat a chef.

    It’s an old debate, like when the camera was invented (while artists were painting landscaoes in the field) and could make perfect landscape pictures…is the photographer an artist?

    It’s a tool.

    If you just pump out slop and don’t curate anything then its just garbage slop; because its still slop automata at this stage.

    I went through this this weekend. I have a bash script I wrote years ago to unlock my WD backup drive in Linux. I’m not a programmer, I just know the process and searched forums and stackexchange till I could cobble together a script that would do a few simple things.

    • check if a WD drive is connected
    • ask if you are setting a new password or using old one
    • branch to cooking a password file or branch to unlocking the drive
    • send command to drive with encryoted password binary.
    • report back success or errors

    So, did I make that script or did stackexchange?

    Then this weeknd I wanted a GUI for it…but I know way less about GUI programming, so I fed my script into an LLM and asked for a GTK interface. It took my code and rewrote it for a dialog interface. It took six attempts to get it working with me guiding it. It added a few features on its own that I hadn’t thought of, and were actually good choices.

    • is password.bin the proper format/character byte length check
    • file browser if you wanted to pick the password out of a state directory, or send it direct

    I feel I made more of the bash script than the GUI program. But both were done by using tools and tweaks
