Claude sounds like a creep. Don't give away your agency for faux convenience!

The imminent chaos is going to be far more difficult to unwind than most expect:

As agent-agent processes stabilize around quasi-attractor states, orgs will cut back on the human involvement.

When the conditions change just enough, though, instability will be able to *rip* through the connected systems.

And troubleshooting that situation is going to be nearly impossible, let alone assignment of fiscal/moral responsibility for such failures.

They aren’t nefarious inherently — they’re generators of statistically determined philosophical bullshit.

I have also noticed that about 60% of every AI answered question of search engines is from 50% to a 100% incorrect in its "sumerized answer. I am pretty sure I know a big part of why we are seeing this in AI, thats a whole other long and complicated discussion. I have done much testing and I have confirmed this is probably what I suspect. it is not as nefarious as many would think but it is definatly a case of overcomplicating the guardrails put in place. that results in what you experienced and what I experienced both in the Noah story and the creation story (in that case imagine insisting on producing adam with an "appendage" down to his knees unprompted and no matter what I tried inevitability the appendage would appear
