“We are aware of these reports and have paused this notification while we investigate and take appropriate action to address this unintended behavior,” says Caitlin Roulston, director of communications

How do you implement shit like this by mistake and push it out to be executed on people’s computers by mistake?
SO’s attempts at bolting some kind of AI into their site have been a great source of entertainment:
authorities have stated that they do not expect Cecot’s prisoners to ever be released
Innocence, joining a gang inside, survival don’t matter. It’s an extermination camp barely disguised.
“Is this AI written?” is a difficult/impossible question. “Did you write this?” is not. Running the language model against a text and recording its “amount of surprise per token” for all the released GPT x.y variants is something they definitely can do.
Is the explanation that this is unintended actually better than owning up to it? So some rogue employee can code this up, pass it through localization teams and then on to customers’ computers without any oversight? I’m somehow not calmed by that.
