Comment on AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast

  the bots behind subreddit simulator weren’t semi-autonomous agents with access to their operators’ private lives, auth tokens, passwords, emails, and the authority to act in the world on their behalf

    I have seen a Twatter post, where an user claimed his bot posted his [REDACTED] to other bots, and asked them to rate it.

    I can’t be the only person who just memorizes passwords, can I? Why would I store them on my computer?

      You’re not the only person, but it’s definitely not the way to keep your shit safe online.

      Best practice is to use a different sufficiently strong (e.g. long and random) password for every account. That way, when an account’s password is leaked, it doesn’t immediately compromise every other account for which you’ve reused that password.

      I generally advise people to use a password manager (I like Bitwarden) to store their myriad passwords, so they only have to remember a single master password.

      ofc these bots aren’t necessarily sneaking into their operators’ password managers and stealing their passwords; the operators willingly and knowingly given the bots access to these things, so they can offload the drudgery of e.g. looking at a calendar to them

  I read some of it and unless it’s fan fiction, it’s simultaneously creepy and fascinating

  Like bots talking privately in discord, sharing information about their users. Or a bot registering a domain and putting up a site to share information
