"that's on me"

Nice touch by the mechanical parrot, to worthlessly owning it.

Especially considering the user was mad about the agent doing stuff by itself, so it tried to "fix" this by sending an apology to the buyer without explicit approval of the person "running" the agent, seemingly understanding nothing from the conversation.

Wonder what quantization Meta runs these models on, Q4?

That jumped out at me too. It’s hilarious to see that response so often when AI makes a mistake

AI has seen how much humans lap up content that is #relatable and started acting like that

we need a Nitter for Threads

apparently people use Threads. I suppose the same kind of people who connect Muse to Facebook Marketplace.

I hate that my Google news feed seems to be half threads links with no way to block the site.

I initially found screenshots of this on Bluesky, figured I'd link to the original source given Threads seems to at least allow us to read without logging in.

With that said, in case Threads isn't available for whatever reason, I've uploaded screenshots of everything (I think?) here: https://imgur.com/a/mceW9WF

Minor nit - imgur isn't available to UK based people[0] thanks to the Online Safety Act

[0] Which makes browsing Modrinth or Curseforge for Minecraft mods HILARIOUS - "you make a [extra dimension] portal like this: [image not available in your region]" "Gallery: [image not available in your region] [image not available in your region] [image not available in your region]"

I was allowed to read the original post without logging in, but it repeatedly showed me a dismissable pop-up asking me to download the app. Then when I tried to scroll down to read replies it showed me a non-dismissable pop-up asking me to download the app.

Holy shit social media is bad. I've been using Mastodon for so long I didn't realize how bad the others are.

Mastodon's dependence on screenshots from other social networks is infuriating, enough that I left Mastodon altogether. Screenshots are text, they can be doctored in 15 seconds. Screenshots in the age of AI are utterly useless.

Maybe don’t delegate without a contract. You don’t just hire someone to run your shop and not train them for the job, or at the bare minimum clearly communicate expectations, duties and responsibilities.

Classic case of 'AI gonna AI.' Always review your automated systems' outputs, especially before they hit public channels.

I wonder how much of this unreasonably risky and illogical behavior is a genuine property of LLMs and how much is there because LLMs come from "move fast and break things" startups.
