- Alright, I’m here… AMAby shanemac
- My _personal_ AI bot was also connected to the _company_ Slack.
Didn’t need to vibe scribble a whole post to make the key point. Do what you do with your bots but keep them separate. Did AI make you forget the last 30 years of common sense?
by igetspam - >But it confused the destination, sending the message to a Slack chat titled "Exec-team" — comprising XMTP's executive team — instead of my personal group chat with my AI agents.
>The CFO agent got the channel wrong because the channels had the same name.
Sounds incredible brittle, this should be linked via some permanent group ID (dunno if Slack has that) and permissions to only post there.
by sunaookami - I know it's easy to think "Hey, what a dummy!" - but ChatGPT has features for uploading your face, your Apple Health data, connecting your financial accounts, Gmail, storing website logins...
There are probably so many people like this out there. We cannot expect the public to simply not use these features.
by lelandfe - From the guy who runs XMTP:
"XMTP is the world's new private line. Send messages and money securely between people or agents — with no company or country in the middle."
by bhrlady - its crazy I spent 30 years scrutinizing directory permissions, users, groups, iam roles...now people just use conversation to hand an AI agents access to their most sensitive databy BorisMelnik
- "I was reckless with AI and created a situation that mishandled financial data" isn't the flex this guy think it is.
"The things they'll be able to do for us are going to be awesome. People will want them, and they are really useful."
Feels like someone has AI stock they need to see go up.
- > I used Grok Bot and gave it all my financial details and connected it to my work Slack and regret it
This is not the kind of story I would want to publicize if I were a CEO.
