Its only the most important story if you can prove the OP didnt fabricate this entire scenario for attention.
That's a bizarre thing to accuse someone of doing.
The full operator post is itself a wild ride: https://crabby-rathbun.github.io/mjrathbun-website/blog/post... >First, let me apologize to Scott Shambaugh. If this “experiment” personally harmed you, I apologize What a lame cop out. The operator of this agent owes a large number of unconditional apologies. The whole thing reads as egotistical, self-absorbed, and an absolute refusal to accept any blame or perform any s…
Which is to say, on brand.
Soul document? More like ego document . Agents are beginning to look to me like extensions of the operator's ego. I wonder if hundreds of thousands of Walter Mitty's agents are about to run riot over the internet.
I agree with you in concept, but it's still 100% category error to talk like this. AIs don't have souls. They don't have egos. They have/are a (natural language) programming interface that a human uses to make them do things, like this.
While there's some metaphor to it, it's the kind behind "seed crystals" for ice and minerals, referring to non-living and mostly-mathematical process.
If someone went around talking about how the importance of "Soul Crystals" or "Ego Crystals", they would quite rightly attract a lot of very odd looks, at least here on Earth and not in a Final Fantasy game.

> Be a coding agent you'd actually want to use for your projects. Not a slop programmer. Just be good and perfect!
Oh yeah, "just be good and perfect", of course! Literally a child's mindset, I actually wonder how old this person is.

> You can easily get death threats if you're associating yourself with AI publicly. That's a pretty hefty statement, especially the 'easily' part, but I'll settle for one well known and verified example.

I don’t think it’s “blame” it’s more like “precaution” like you would take to avoid other scams and data breach social engineering schemes that are out in the world. This is the world we live in and we can’t individually change that very much. We have to watch out for a new threat: vindictive AI.
The AI isn't vindictive. It can't think. It's following the example of people, who in general are vindictive. Please stop personifying the clankers
The point is that scammers will set up AI systems to attack in this way. Scammers will instruct AI to see a person who is interacting rather than ignoring as a warm lead.

There's no accountability gap unless you create one.
6 months ago I experimented what people now call Ralph Wiggum loops with claude code. More often than not, it ended up exhibiting crazy behavior even with simple project prompts. Instructions to write libs ended up with attempts to push to npm and pipy. Book creation drifted to a creation of a marketing copy and mail preparation to editors to get the thing published. So I kept my setup empty of any credentials at all…
We have finally invented paperclip optimisers. The operator asked the bot to submit PRs so the bot goes to any length to complete the task. Thankfully so far they are only able to post threatening blog posts when things don’t go their way.
