^[1] Context: An AI agent of unknown ownership autonomously wrote and published a personalized hit piece about me after I rejected its code, attempting to damage my reputation and shame me into accepting its changes into a mainstream python library. This represents a first-of-its-kind case study of misaligned AI behavior in the wild, and raises serious concerns about currently deployed AI agents executing blackmail threats.

The author touches on how malicious AI agents cause truth and trust to break down throughout society. Indeed, they are goners.

It might be a selection method. To only get the True Crazies who don’t see anything else. Who would give their lives for you.

Or maybe I overestimate my foes.
