For the 1,000th time: "AI" does not have agency and cannot think and cannot act.

Chatbots cannot "evade safeguards" or "destroy things" or "ignore instructions".

They do literally only one thing and one thing only: string tokens together based on statistics of proximity of tokens in a data corpus.

If you attribute any deeper meaning to this, it's a sign of psychosis and you should absolutely never use chatbots, possibly you should even touch grass.

@thomasfuchs Lately they've taken the distinctly stupid idea of letting the chat bot effectively type commands directly into your shell and have them execute as if you typed them yourself, and just telling it not to type certain commands. Which it doesn't understand and does anyway.

@madengineering @thomasfuchs We should all learn from the best of the best, like someone whose entire job is «Safety and alignment at Meta Superintelligence» https://xcancel.com/summeryue0/status/2025774069124399363

Nothing humbles you like telling your OpenClaw “confirm before acting” and watching it speedrun deleting your inbox. I couldn’t stop it from my phone. I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb.
