Idgi. This is a giant claim with barely any info.

Im not saying its impossible, but we need more than this to see what actually happened.

We've reached the point where even reporting on AI has become slop...

The reality is a bunch of people used heaps of slop to generafe profit across the internet via ad revenue, account selling, service selling etc

At the same time a bunch of companies like Google, Reddit and Facebook laxed their measures on containing bots and bot farms because they had vested interests in half of the shit floating around and now the internet has become a turd ouroborous.

Fuck off Andy.

That awkward moment when you’re on someone’s side but they say something so stupid you become a singularity of cringe. There’s no self-replicating code - if I have to guess, I think he misread the reports that agentic LLMs are polluting editable public sites with data. Some claim that it’s to communicate to other agents, but these programs don’t have the intent necessary to communicate.

From Wikipedia: "Yang received a Bachelor of Arts degree (with a major in economics and political science) from Brown University in 1996 and a Juris Doctor degree from Columbia University in 1999.[32][33][20] He was an editor of the Columbia Law Review when he was a law student.[20]"

Seems to me he doesn't have the background to talk with authority about hacking or any computer related.

This is just not possible. Full stop.

I'm not sure Yang is the person to be listening to about this. Its on the same level as the Internet is a series of tubes

Wait is he saying "code" as in "code" or is he saying that these bots left around hundreds of thousands of prompt injections worms?

OMgawd this website sucks

Peak slop hahaha

Is he describing those Ai tar pits people set up lol?

What is he trying to say here?

poison the well you're drinking from, smart move...
