A black graphic with large abstract purple bubbles in the background. The white text says:

WARNING: DO NOT RUN AI AGENTS ON ANY DEVICE USED TO ACCESS SIGNAL

What is an AI Agent?
Agentic AIs are programs that access all the data on your device to do autonomous tasks like manage email or make reservations. Examples include OpenClaw and Microsoft Recall. An AI agent is not a chatbot like ChatGPT or Claude. 

Why not?
AI Agents save everything that appears on your screen, including Signal messages. Storing encrypted or disappearing chats (potentially forever) violates community expectations of privacy & puts all your contacts at greater risk of surveillance.

Is Signal still safe?
This is a human error problem, not Signal's error. Signal remains the best tool out there for private messaging. 

What the absolute F#@K?! How can I stop this?
Help keep each other safe by sharing this message to your Signal groups and contacts. Learn more + yell at Big AI over at AISnitches.com

Lots of love to you and Jess. Your relationship with Maximillian is beautiful and you were so lucky to have one another. You gave that kitty the best life.

I mean I get it, I think reactionism ought to hold a catastrophic stigma and I openly want them all to go back into hiding. I just don't happen to need politically neutral language to get that opinion out there.

Fuck it - virtually all complaints about the culture of this userbase, "tribalism", "echo chambers", "bubbles", and so on boil down to not wanting to ever see certain groups of people and having just enough self awareness to mask that with language that sounds vaguely critically astute

PANEL 1: MATTIE is talking to A GUY. They're both up to their waists in water.
MATTIE: Concerning amount of water, don't you think?
GUY: Eh!

PANEL 2: The water is now up to their shoulders. 
GUY: I have great news about the future.
MATTIE: Oh? This doesn't seem great.

PANEL 3: The water is now up to their heads, they both tilt their heads back to speak. The GUY is now holding up his phone.
GUY: The KIDS will fix it! They'll fix all of it. I saw it, on my phone.
MATTIE: Ohhh I see it now. Phew!

PANEL 4: The water fills the frame. The GUY's phone and glasses float atop it.

Unhappy to report the phishing one is quickly becoming a real problem now. Why go to the trouble of social engineering when people will just give up their ID, financial info, biometrics, etc. to an AV portal? There's no standards so how can you differentiate a fake one from a real one?
