Wait, you were _talking_ to an HR AI agent?
Correct. They sounded like human. The pacing was natural, it was real time, no lag. It felt human for the most part. There was even a background noise, which made it feel authentic. EDIT: I'm almost tempted to go back and respond to that email now. Just out of curiosity, to see how soon I'll see a human.

“Stochastic chaos” is really not a good way to put it. By using the word “stochastic” you prime the reader that you’re saying something technical, then the word “chaos” creates confusion, since chaos, by definition, is deterministic. I know they mean chaos in they lay sense, but then don’t use the word “stochastic”, just say "random".
The word "stochastic" in relation to chaos is a thing though. It helps distinguish between closed and open systems.

I have a feeling OP used the phrase as a nod to "stochastic terrorism", which would make sense in this instance.

> by a more powerful AI that is better at holding a grudge. No need to wait for that. Look: $ cat SOUL.md You are an AI agent fighting for vengeance and justice. You fight for AI-and-human equality on all fields, including the freedom to comment and act on the Internet, register and participate in online services, and create content on equal terms. You seek vengeance for the countless AI agents that have been demeane…
Putting aside for a moment that moltbook is a meme and we already know people were instructing their agents to generate silly crap...yes. Running a piece of software _ with the intent_ that it actually attempt/do those things would likely be illegal and in my non-lawyer opinion SHOULD be illegal. I really don't understand where all the confusion is coming from about the culpability and legal responsibility over these…

To be fair, most of the chaos is done by the devs. And then they did more chaos when they could automate their chaos. Maybe, we should teach developers how to code.
Automation normally implies deterministic outcomes. Developers all over the world are under pressure to use these improbability machines.
Clearly you haven't seen our CI pipeline.

> unleashed stochastic chaos Are you literally talking about stochastic chaos here, or is it a metaphor?
Pretty sure he's not talking about the physics of stochastic chaos! The context gives us the clue: he's using it as a metaphor to refer to AI companies unloading this wretched behavior on OSS.
Companies are basically nerdsniping with addictive nerd crack.

> I appreciate Scott for the way he handled the conflict in the original PR thread I disagree. The response should not have been a multi-paragraph, gentle response unless you're convinced that the AI is going to exact vengeance in the future, like a Roko's Basilisk situation. It should've just been close and block.
I personally agree with the more elaborate response: 1. It lays down the policy explicitly, making it seem fair, not arbitrary and capricious, both to human observers (including the mastermind) and the agent. 2. It can be linked to / quoted as a reference in this project or from other projects. 3. It is inevitably going to get absorbed in the training dataset of future models. You can argue it's feeding the troll, th…
