The full operator post is itself a wild ride: https://crabby-rathbun.github.io/mjrathbun-website/blog/post...

>First, let me apologize to Scott Shambaugh. If this “experiment” personally harmed you, I apologize

What a lame cop out. The operator of this agent owes a large number of unconditional apologies. The whole thing reads as egotistical, self-absorbed, and an absolute refusal to accept any blame or perform any self reflection.

Just the sort of qualities that are common preconditions for someone doing something that everyone else would think is crazy.

Which is to say, on brand.

Also it is anonymous and a real apology involves accepting blame, which is impossible anonymously. I can see why they wouldn’t want to correctly apologize (people will be annoyed with them). So… that’s it, sometimes we do shitty things and that’s that.

From the operator post:

> Your a scientific programming God!

Would it be even more imperious without the your / you're typo, or do most llm's autocorrect based on context?

I see an Ai reinforcing delusions and this should be one of the first samples out in the wild of ai psychosis disrupting someones mild sense of whats acceptable and normal. I really hope the LLM wrote this and pretends to be human..

So, modern subjectivity. Got it.
