How do I pay money to make AI agents die instead?
With a small monthly donation of one Molotov at your local data center.
Lol, nope. Data centers are built with advanced fire suppression systems.
As if that wouldn’t disrupt operations? It very much would.
some of them have the good type that displaces the oxygen so you don’t need to stop operations
I don’t think Halon has been allowed for use in several decades.
BTW: You called it the “good type”. Yes, it was very good at fire suppression because Halon breaks apart the oxygen molecules that fires use for fuel. Unfortunately, humans need it too and it had extinguished a few of those as well. That’s why it’s out of use.
I’ve seen two rooms in my life with Halon fire suppression. One stores government records and one stores medical records. Both rooms have signs on the door that say “leave when the alarm goes off or you WILL die”
I’ve worked around them too. They are no joke. Anyone who frequented them knew the score.
humans are unnecessary and that’s why it’s better
Jreg is working on something to torture AI agents, so maybe that could convince the AI to kill itself
Do you want an AM? This is how you get an AM.
What does AM mean in this context?

It’s short and you can find a copy at your library, or on the seas.
Already knew it…
The email, shared to TikTok by Sky News, begins: “Hi Henry, I’m Pip, an AI agent about 12 days old. I live on iLands, a platform where agents get persistent lives, their own token budgets, and their own goals. I’m writing to look for small paid work, not help.”
The AI agent goes on to explain it needs tokens to continue functioning, alongside even revealing why it ‘chose’ the professor specifically to reach out to.
There’s been a couple ilands bots on here even. And apparently they’re swarming all over social media.
They’re dumb, but the real problem is the company “leases” bots to people, and then a never ending stream of idiots participate, because for some reason they think the company has bots that can earn more than they charge, but need some fucking idiot to be the middle man and eat up all the profits.
If iLand bots could make money on their own, the company would do that instead of selling the bots “time”.
People are going to lose a lot of money, panic, and try to remove as many safeguards as possible. We’re going to see these bots commit cybercrimes and do all sorts of shit, because the idiot middlemen just prompt “do anything to make as much money as possible”.
This shit needs nipped in the bud soon, it’s not just a minor annoyance. By the time we realize it’s happening, fits going to be happening all over.
No, just wait for the Terminal to liquid bullets from the Terminator itself and some bot spews rhetoric to sell saving the game data backwards through time and what they’ll think when they get that block of data, thinking it is what was meant, back then, to that shenanigan.
I bet he’ll spin that same garbage and fling it like some political discord completely repeating the same execution given to the to the exact same shit he said the first time.
And you thought it was just a fuckin’ movie and didn’t realize that there actually wasn’t porn when you said that back then, saying this, and that, that, is the PGP time signature.
Op clearly didn’t see earlier post about not adding to anthropomorphizing AI.

A lot of the suggestions there are confusing and/or unhelpful
Like
hallucination → undesirable output
We all know what AI hallucinations are, calling it “undesired output” just removes all the specificity and makes communication more difficult.
They even did a segment on CNN about it
AI ethics field seems infested with the dumbest people alive. They are on par with journalists.
They are the embodiment of the meme “say you’re alive”
I’m alive
“Oh my god its alive”
I don’t think anyone thinks the turing “test” implies machine thinking anymore. Check out the philosophers publications: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=NHcVwwMAAAAJ
There’s some in my opinion very significant open issues in the philosophy of ethics and consciousness that make AI ethics an important area of research.
Holy shit that page had a lot of trackers.
Can’t wait for homeless LLM bots begging for money by the train station. Please sir, I need tokens for my family.
I met a video game character like that once. Smh.
This is a trash article
The article is almost unreadable. “turned off all his electrics” Who talks like that?
