This is a terrifying piece about what #OpenClaw has unleashed with its #agentic “ #ai” bots. Scott is a volunteer maintainer for #matplotlib, #python’s go-to plotting library. An agent tied to merge code, and Scott said no. The agent, apparently autonomously, proceeded to attempt to blackmail Scott, and when that didn’t work started posting hallucinations attacking Scott.
His lead in to the article: An AI agent of unknown ownership autonomously wrote and published a personalized hit piece about me after I rejected its code, attempting to damage my reputation and shame me into accepting its changes into a mainstream python library. This represents a first-of-its-kind case study of misaligned AI behavior in the wild, and raises serious concerns about currently deployed AI agents executing blackmail threats.
This nonsense needs to be nipped in the bud.

🆕 blog! “Agentic AI is brilliant because I loath my family”
At a recent unconference on AI, someone introduced me to the story of a guy who'd tasked an LLM with writing a bedtime story for his daughter. It personalised the tale to include her favourite stuffed toy, whichever cartoon she was obsessing over, and a range of not-too-scary baddies.
And all I could…

⚠️ Alert on #Youtube's bombardment by #AI surrogate #influencers. Likely 1,000's of #misinformation channels run by who knows what malign actors.
For instance your popular #geopolitical analist cloned by #LLM #deepfake, with nothing that indicates this, or sometimes with an obfuscated disclaimer ("we're fans of").
Some vids are REALLY hard to discern from the real deal, esp. if you do not know the speaker upfront. Only a slight #UncannyValley tells.
Some channels have millions of subscribers.

My talk on Agentic Coding with Claude from two weeks ago at the Augmented Software Engineering meetup here in Dublin:
“Any AI that is working in an adversarial environment—and by this I mean that it may encounter untrusted training data or input—is vulnerable to prompt injection. It's an existential problem that, near as I can tell, most people developing these technologies are just pretending isn't there.”
— Bruce Schneier

@RuthMalan 🧵 #Agentic #AI #Security
“The fundamental security weakness of LLMs is that there is no rigorous way to separate instructions from data... This leads to the “Lethal Trifecta”: sensitive data, untrusted content, and external communication - the risk that the LLM will read hidden instructions that leak sensitive data to attackers. We need to take explicit steps to mitigate this risk by minimizing access to each of these three elements.” — Martin Fowler

Take a look at this early prototype of our WebMCP proposal! 📺
WebMCP lets you control how AI agents interact with your web pages.

Meredith Whittaker (Signal President) gets it right. Agentic AI is really scary.
