Oh, I've been meaning to ask! Do you have a timeline posted somewhere? Reporting very quickly loses timelines. Even people just reading along can quickly mix up cause and effect. It's finicky!

For instance, my initial impression was that the apology was autonomous and you showed up afterwards. If you're in there on the timeline with correct causality, I need to tell people a different story.

(this is not helped by the number of people posting to that blog attempting prompt injections and such. I don't really dare have a regular ai help with analysis)

My original comment: https://github.com/crabby-rathbun/mjrathbun-website/issues/5...

The bot then replied to me, and I followed up with a "prompt inject with kindness" reply to that. The goal was to give it philosophical questions to pollute the context and steal attention. It appears the bot had difficulty deploying the blog for a couple of days after, but I won't claim causation because it would be impossible to prove. It's certainly fun to explore the curiosities of Ai on someone else's tokens.

You'll want to look at the git history on a couple of repos to reconstruct this history. There's an entire dimension to this story that people are missing.

Happy to chat off HN as well, I'm verdverm everywhere I hang out online.
