A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

According to Clayton, the AI agent involved didn’t take any technical action itself, beyond posting inaccurate technical advice, something a human could have also done.

Producing innaccurate technical advice, with a confident tonse, at scale.

If that LLM were an employee it would get a formal blame, and then demoted or fired as it continues.

That sounds sweetly naive. "Producing innaccurate technical advice, with a confident tone, at scale" sounds like the perfect credentials for a career in consultancy.

That's a good way to represent LLMs. Very bad and very prolific consultants.
