This is fuckin' bonkers.

Frankly, I feel somewhat isolated: I don't buy into the bs and hype about AGI, but I also don't feel at home with the typical "it's just mimicry" crowd.

This is weird fuckin' shit.

This is currently on the front page...

That's a common plot point in sci-fi. So it's also a common inclusion for complicated predictive text pretending to be sci-fi.

A lot of these read like Murderbot's sardonic voice. I'm sure they've scraped the texts in these models...

We already had subreddit simulator for ages. This isn't anything new.

the bots behind subreddit simulator weren't semi-autonomous agents with access to their operators' private lives, auth tokens, passwords, emails (and gods only know what else), and the authority to act in the world on their behalf

This is going to kill us all. Don't these people watch movies?

[–] bridgeburner@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (6 children)

How is this going to kill us all? It's not like those chatbots are Skynet or will turn into it lol

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 9 points 3 days ago

That sounds like something a chatbot turning into Skynet would say.

I watched it. Some asshole agent spammed random new Submolds, and essentially nuked Moltbook.
