Unfortunately, espionage tends to attract “the ends justify the means” types, who then quickly lose track of their own moral compass.

They should have found a way of protecting “Beth” without exposing themselves. It’s really just a case of them being lazy and incompetent. Which is not something you want of your security service.

If you are referring to the author herself, I would have to disagree. For my mind, she presents the first clear articulation of the value of AI as embodied by LLM chatbots: as agents you can turn to solve problems of what she calls “emotional” labour. This is a highly non-trivial task especially for individuals exhausted of their empathy (and who recognize that the situation requires their empathy as such).

What are your plans for future posts in this series? You’ve done some nice work here. Where were you introduced to this subject? Looking forward to more, especially because your presentation is so clean.
