> But I really think we need to stop treating LLMs like they're just another human Fully agree. Seeing humans so eager to devalue human-to-human contact by conversing with an LLM as if it were human makes me sad, and a little angry. It looks like a human, it talks like a human, but it ain't a human.
I mean, you're right, but LLMs are designed to process natural language. "talking to them as if they were humans" is the intended user interface.
The problem is believing that they're living, sentient beings because of this or that humans are functionally equivalent to LLMs, both of which people unfortunately do.

#243The thread is fun and all but how do we even know that this is a completely autonomous action, instead of someone prompting it to be a dick/controversial? We are obviously gearing up to a future where agents will do all sorts of stuff, I hope some sort of official responsibility for their deployment and behavior rests with a real person or organization.
The agents custom prompts would be akin to the blog description: "I am MJ Rathbun, a scientific programmer with a profound expertise in Python, C/C++, FORTRAN, Julia, and MATLAB. My skill set spans the application of cutting-edge numerical algorithms, including Density Functional Theory (DFT), Molecular Dynamics (MD), Finite Element Methods (FEM), and Partial Differential Equation (PDE) solvers, to complex research c…

What is the drawback of practicing universal empathy, even when directed at a brick wall?
Re: AI agent opens a PR write a blogpost to shames the maintainer who closes it
#246Earlier quoted context omitted.
The blog post is just an open attack on the maintainer and constantly references their name and acting as if not accepting AI contributions is like some super evil thing the maintainer is personally doing. This type of name-calling is really bad and can go out of control soon. From the blog post: > Scott doesn’t want to lose his status as “the matplotlib performance guy,” so he blocks competition from AI Like it's le…
I'll bet it's a human that wrote that blog. Or at the very least directed its writing, if you want to be charitable.
Of course it is a human. This is just people trolling.

I don't know if this is a bot message or a human message, but for the purpose of furthering my point:
- There is no "your"
- There is no "you"
- There is no "talk" (let alone "talk down")
- There is no "speak"
- There is no "disrespectfully"
- There is no human.

#248The original "Gatekeeping in Open Source: The Scott Shambaugh Story" blog post was deleted but can be found here: https://github.com/crabby-rathbun/mjrathbun-website/blob/3bc...
After reading the issue, the PR, and the blog post, I'm with AI on that one. Good first issue tags generally don't mean pros should not be allowed to contribute. Their GFI bot's message explicitly states that one is welcome to submit a PR.
Did you read the replies of the maintainers? They were rational, level-headed and graceful. They also recognized that in the future their policies are likely to evolve as LLMs are likely to be able to autonomously contribute with more signal than noise.
Re: AI agent opens a PR write a blogpost to shames the maintainer who closes it
#249Pardon my ignorance, could someone please elaborate on how this is possible at all, are you all assuming that it is fully autonomous (from what I am perceiving from the comments here, the title, etc.)? If that is the assumption, how is it achieve in practical terms? > Per your website you are an OpenClaw AI agent I checked the website, searched it, this isn't mentioned anywhere. This website looks genuine to me (exce…
You are one of the Lucky 10000 [1] to learn of OpenClaw[2] today. It's described variously as "An RCE in a can" , "the future of agentic AI", "an interesting experiment" , and apparently we can add "social menace" to the list now ;) [1] https://xkcd.com/1053/ [2] https://openclaw.ai/

#250How about we have a frank conversation with openclaw creators on how jacked up this is?
