The operator’s social “experiment” has all the scientific value of an angry person at a drive-thru McDonalds goading a child into shouting and throwing food at the employee.

The simplest explanation is often the best. He was attacked by... attacked by... the meat bag! Here’s how:

A Meat bag submits a PR and feels slighted the rejection. “This approver thinks I’m an AI? Well, he discerns not wisely but too well!! “

Feeling puckish, they put on the AI shoes (the shoe fits), sling mud all over the hapless maintainer’s nice house, and exit through a window.

The ruse works better than expected; their foil takes the bait, and doubles down with a dueling blog post: “I was Attacked by a Clanker!”

And here we are.

It may all be a show, but I going to tape the finale. (What will the meat bag do? How many people are driving this buggy? Does the clanker have a heart of iron or gold?)

Comment of the week!

A CSB safety video on the agency's investigation into the massive April 8, 2021, explosion and fire that fatally injured one worker at the Yenkin-Majestic Paint Corporation facility in Columbus, Ohio.

“These agents can attend meetings, edit documents, communicate via email and chat, and perform tasks autonomously.

Redmond will sell these “agentic users” in the “M365 Agent Store” and make them discoverable in its Teams collaboration-ware tools.

A365 Agent licensing details are not yet publicly available.

The marketing has 100% shifted to the creation of workloads using “Agents”.

Presumably the hyperscalers can begin conflating the number of “agents” created with “boring jobs eliminated” and thus herald the industrial revolution.

But first: Your subscription price is increasing and now includes 5 Agents.

I like the cut of this jibe.

What are some ways to avoid common methological pitfalls when generating test cases for "groundedness" benchmarks with automation?

Confirmation bias is one obvious pitfall that comes to mind, but also I wonder how it is possible to achieve reproducibility when the input is stochastic.

That’s my understanding.

In a pure implementation, the same level of trust is implied (absolutely none at all) whether a device is connecting to a resource from the public internet or the same subnet.
