I hate this.
I "chatted" with an AI agent for several minutes before realizing "she" wasn't a real person.
I hate it.
I hate AI agents.

increasingly coming around to the idea that we simply have to ban AI agents altogether
Called place where I’m getting ultrasound today:

“Uh..I just got a call from one of your employees saying I need a different test and she had my address and insurance provider wrong and didn’t know if any of this is covered?”

Receptionist: “oh yeah that’s our AI agent Vivian. She gets confused!”
I’ve now experienced AI fucking up TWO medical things for me in the past month.

1. Sent me the wrong summary of a bad blood test result via patient portal that scared the shit out of me

2. An AI agent (who I did not know was an AI agent) called me today to schedule a test my doctor did not order

First, the basics.

The US productivity uptick in AI-adopting sectors starts in 2020, not 2022. Even if you spot a new acceleration around 2022, that’s too early to be AI. Back then it was chatbots, not agents.

Why would you let AI do banking for you? That's insane.

AI agents embrace bureaucracy

Researchers unleashed AI agent swarms in Minecraft, where 50 GPT-6.1 Sol agents tasked to build a civilization failed in 3 hours due to paralyzing bureaucracy.

It seems even AI can't escape red tape.

half right! this was all some 17 year old kid using AI agents, an AI-created website, an AI email plugin that came with the website, and an AI payment processor.
my guess is that the takedown language was all something claude bullshitted based on normal website takedown policies and emails are going to literally nowhere. but if they think having authors' information held hostage will make them more money, they could well use any "DMCA" against you

The Age Of Ultron is already here. We need kill switches and regulation NOW.
