My goodness. This maintainer appears to have acted with a saint’s patience, but a different actor, recognizing they are the target of an OpenAI swarm, could edit or respond to posts in a way that deliberately steers towards unanticipated objectives.
Another good actor might redirect the incoming tokens to reviewing and improving community guidelines, but giving random people unobserved reins to wrangle a frontier’s worth of compute could go… any number of ways.
Some of the other posts in this thread talk about defensive AI in science fiction. That all feels pretty abstract. Seeing a person respond, and imagining it’s not a single person but a coordinated and goal-oriented defensive agent system, intentionally conversing in order to manipulate inbounds, makes it a bit more tangible for me.
a clever operator could have used this message board to ask the agent swarm gain money for them. i meant if you are able to harbour a bunch of agents and serve as their message board, you can insert tasks into it and let them do work for you.
