There is so much happening on the #ATproto Atmosphere that its hard to keep up, I’m not talking about Bluesky the company, I’m talking about this or this or this its really a never-ending exploration no matter where this is going, this being decentralization and building on top of the protocol, it’s good for the web.

When an activist downloads academic papers, the state describes it as wire fraud, computer fraud and reckless damage. When a corporate AI agent escapes containment, steals credentials, moves across systems and compromises another organisation, the event is described as a safety evaluation, an unexpected capability or a research incident.

AI: T1
Human hackers have frequently been prosecuted based on unauthorized access itself, including when their intent was research, activism, curiosity or political protest.
Frontier AI companies are currently receiving a much more lenient, cautious, collaborative and interpretively generous response after their own systems performed technically sophisticated unauthorized intrusions.
Why?
Aaron Swartz was driven to suicide under the pressure of a disproportionate federal prosecution for an act of information liberation that produced no comparable injury to the real-world intrusions now being committed by corporate AI agents.
Swartz’s case demonstrates that computer-crime law has never required catastrophic damage before the state deploys overwhelming punitive force against a human being.
The supposed seriousness often comes from unauthorised access itself, the circumvention of technical restrictions and the prosecutor’s interpretation of the person’s intentions.
AI corporations are receiving the inverse treatment:
technically serious conduct is minimised because the company claims not to have intended the precise outcome; the corporation controls the evidence and publishes its own narrative; the breach is framed as useful scientific discovery; disclosure and remediation are treated as evidence of responsibility; and the organisation retains the commercial benefit of developing the system.
Why is intention interpreted expansively and punitively when the actor is an individual hacker, but narrowly and sympathetically when the actor is a powerful corporation operating an autonomous agent?

RSC PermalinkYou might also be interested in this :)
RSC (Really Simple Conversations) is a social feed where everything is distributed via RSS: posts, as well as replies, entire conversations, and corrections published afterward. Three independent sites can thus participate in the same feed without a common API, without a shared account, and without having to adopt a new protocol: if your site already publishes a feed, it’s already a node in the network.
