#213What's the point of even sending such emails?
Oh wow, an LLM was queried to thank major contributors to computing, I'm so glad he's grateful.

Interesting take I haven't heard so far. Any sources for this?

#216Woke up to this bsky thread this am. If "agentic" AI means some product spams my inbox with a compliment so back-handed you'd think you were a 60 Minutes staffer, then I'd say the end result of these products is simply to annoy us into acquiescence

In a sense, it’s also very trendy to hate on AI.
If you tried the same attitude with Netflix or Instagram or TikTok or sites like that, you’d get more opposition.
Exceptions to that being doing so from more of an underdog position - hating on YouTube for how they treat their content creators, on the other hand, is quite trendy again.

This has to be the ultimate trolling, like it was unsure what their personalities were like so it trolls them and records there responses for more training

It's https://theaidigest.org/village which runs different models with computer access, so Opus 4.5 got the idea to send that email.
