I have a theory that people who have close contact with special needs are better at talking to LLMs too from a similar thought process. They're more used to knowing how to use language for those who perceive very differently, and have an easier time predicting potential communication pitfalls.
glad you specified ai agents, otherwise all the intelligence plants here would be raising their hands, absolute chaos
Just read @mitsuhiko.at 's blog on Agent Psychosis, loved the analogy to Pullman's daemons, and it got me thinking. The obv difference is that Pullman's inventions are a manifestation of the deeper self, whereas agents are not; this might be where some of the issues Armin describes originate from.

isn't it even worse than that? it looks like entities lower on the threat totem pole were also able to leverage First Wap. do we need to be heading further and either getting faraday cages or simply not traveling everywhere with a phone?
gotta keep em separated
No! There are no tears. No rain. Only LLM. LLM everywhere. Everything is LLM. We used to have tears and rain, but them the LLM consumed them, and now everything is LLM.

Does anyone have a suggestion on running a Mattermost instance without hassle?
I was originally aiming for Slack, but screw the AI rollout. That said, I don’t want to fuck around with proxies, ssl, etc. Yes, I can do it, but life’s too short for it.
