we need a Nitter for Threads apparently people use Threads. I suppose the same kind of people who connect Muse to Facebook Marketplace.

It will be chaos if people let AI agents run amok with their accounts. Many more such cases are to come.

"that's on me" Nice touch by the mechanical parrot, to worthlessly owning it.

The AI is not remotely ready for this - this is an absolute delusion they are selling. "By the way don't do this again" <- as if the AI has the ability to ingest and systemically diffuse this. I think Zuckerberg himself is deeply into the Koolaid, and is likely himself unaware of the limits of this tech. He's probably surrounded by enablers.

Fake surprise - it's obvious that would happen, he did it deliberately for clicks and engagement.

Classic case of 'AI gonna AI.' Always review your automated systems' outputs, especially before they hit public channels.

How is this different from you not knowing what you are doing and adding products to your online store's DB for negative dollars? It's not, it's just easier.

Wow that Threads website is absolutely unusable on mobile

I can see some use for it, in the future. Say that you want to make a garage sale, but to get a better reach, you want to list item by item on marketplace. If you've never done it before, making 100 listings is such a pain in the ass you never want to do it again (I used to flip stuff for a living back in college, and it is a hassle) At least with this, you can now just take pictures of everything, and tell the agent to research everything, list the stuff, and arrange for pickups. Obviously not something I'd like to do for any serious deals or higher $ items. But for random stuff? I mean, it sort of beats hosting a garage sale or taking them to the flea market. I'm not all pessimistic about this.

Not sure if this is just rage baiting or people actually think this may be a good idea.

> I should probably stop the auto-replies from claiming you're home when I can't verify that. I wonder how much of this unreasonably risky and illogical behavior is a genuine property of LLMs and how much is there because LLMs come from "move fast and break things" startups.

Maybe don’t delegate without a contract. You don’t just hire someone to run your shop and not train them for the job, or at the bare minimum clearly communicate expectations, duties and responsibilities.
