A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

oh, this one's pretty easy, actually
a normal AI tells you it's safe to eat one rock per day
an AI agent waits for you to open your mouth, and then throws a rock at your face. but it's smart enough to only do that once a day.
Casey Newton reviewed OpenAI's "agent" back in January
he called it "promising but frustrating"...but this is the type of shit he considers "promising":
they're gonna revolutionize the world, it's gonna evolve into AGI Real Soon Now....but also if you live in San Francisco and tell it to buy you groceries it'll order them from Iowa.
Look, man, it's trying its best. And frankly, I think it's about as ready as it could ever get to replace every single billionaire in the world, considering the sanity of many billionaire's choices we hear about lately.
This sounds like the machine from Idiocracy that prints your ID on your arm. First Name: "Not" Last name: "Sure" Tattooing "Not Sure" on your arm for identification!
So by agent, they mean the same AI but they're doing all the things you shouldn't with it? Great...
