we need a Nitter for Threads

apparently people use Threads. I suppose the same kind of people who connect Muse to Facebook Marketplace.

I initially found screenshots of this on Bluesky, figured I'd link to the original source given Threads seems to at least allow us to read without logging in.

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

It will be chaos if people let AI agents run amok with their accounts.

Many more such cases are to come.

Bonus score if your Meta AI Agent does something with your account that the Meta AI Moderator deems inappropriate and bans you.

"that's on me"

Nice touch by the mechanical parrot, to worthlessly owning it.

Especially considering the user was mad about the agent doing stuff by itself, so it tried to "fix" this by sending an apology to the buyer without explicit approval of the person "running" the agent, seemingly understanding nothing from the conversation.

Wonder what quantization Meta runs these models on, Q4?

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.

If it uses "memory" files like Claude Code there's a good chance it works.

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.

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

It's plausible, but there's every reason to believe that someone would trust the technology handed to them by a megacorp to do as advetised.

The 'deliberate failure' is on Meta here.

Or he just wanted to test if it works for clicks and engagements, and he got a result he didn't anticipate.

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