Few people on HN can read this kind of critique without short circuiting but it’s a valid critique and I would bet a good sum that if you looked into this author you’d find lots more direct evidence of promulgation of leftist ideology (critical theory)
There are others but that is enough to bucket it in as someone who is dabbling in leftist memetics at a minimum
If the "bug" is "we had a bad system prompt" ok then this is stupid. If the bug was "turns out if you pass a secret argument to a HTTP endpoint you can skip the system prompt" then this is a hack.
In the future if the Turing test is fully passed I think morality will boil down to preferring humans if and only if it’s a situation of competing scarcities.
In the case of “showing pictures to computer people”, showing pictures to a computer doesn’t prevent you from showing it to a human so this framework imply no moral justification for a human preference.
The main thing to do would be to give people a heads up so they can try to get out in front of it. Which is something AI companies are doing at every level.
