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.
Nice touch by the mechanical parrot, to worthlessly owning it.
Wonder what quantization Meta runs these models on, Q4?
apparently people use Threads. I suppose the same kind of people who connect Muse to Facebook Marketplace.
With that said, in case Threads isn't available for whatever reason, I've uploaded screenshots of everything (I think?) here: https://imgur.com/a/mceW9WF
[0] Which makes browsing Modrinth or Curseforge for Minecraft mods HILARIOUS - "you make a [extra dimension] portal like this: [image not available in your region]" "Gallery: [image not available in your region] [image not available in your region] [image not available in your region]"
Holy shit social media is bad. I've been using Mastodon for so long I didn't realize how bad the others are.
"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.
Day one our agentic platform goes live it causes a reportable compliance issue. Massive clean up. Reputational impact. Turned off.
No one held accountable still. Assuming that adding more guardrails will fix everything.
'Managers Delusion' - which includes techies as well, to be fair, at least they have the excuse they are one step removed.
If it was Claude I'd expect it to now put some form of this into every output even when not really related to the task: "No offers were accepted without consulting you and I haven't shared your address or availability."
Is it guaranteed to work? No.
And obviously it's a terrible idea to set up a chatbot to communicate, negotiate deals, and handle logistics on your behalf.
You have explained literally why it would not work.
The AI can absolutely not depend on 'arbitrary statements in some file' as operational policy.
For a very, very narrow scope of work, when it's well defined, when the information is rigorously applied, sure ...
But they don't have that.
The are throwing agents out there like they can handle this degree of complexity and nuance, when they cannot.
100% failure rate over any period of time.
Many more such cases are to come.
The 'deliberate failure' is on Meta here.

It frustrates me no end that so many folks are so ready and willing to accept the hype and lies about what this technology actually is or can do, when what it actually is and can really do is already amazing enough on it's own even without all the ridiculous AGI/ASI anthropomorphising bullshit. Falling into this ridiculous "machine-god" hype-cult is kinda holding this technology back from it's true full potential, as everyone's all busy doin' stupid stuff it's not really capable of doing well, or designed for instead of focusing on using it for the (many) things it is really really good at doing (various really useful and powerful language, vision, and audio related tasks).
However, it is untrue that it doesn't have the capability to memorize an instruction and diffuse it to new sessions.
Simply saying "do not ever do this again" can result in the behavior not reoccurring with any likelihood.
You'd have to benchmark whether with the instruction in place it would violate it, and in how many cases, so that you can understand the risk better.
I think we get that.
It's completley unreliable, which is the issue.
