Troy Hunt has been a pillar in the cybersecurity community with his Have I Been Pwned project for many, many years, even walked back a purchase of it because he felt they would compromise the principles of the project. But now he has just gone all-in on AI. On a previous Weeky Update he published a “Robophobia Equality Policy” after receiving pushback to his openclaw usage. Since then he has posted more of his usage of AI, and in the latest he suggest that “people are getting into the program” because he seems to be receiving less pushback and because of Linus’ affirmations

    Yeah, he’s been like this for a while, here’s a choice quote of his from back in April.

    Demanding to “speak to a human” solely because the bot is an AI may constitute robophobic exclusionary behaviour and will not be tolerated.

      So his brain melted?

      He thinks the LLM has personhood? Or feelings?

      Fucking moron

        We saw this happen with Kent Overstreet too. I think the takeaway from these cases is that developers need mental health care. AI is just the canary in the DSM coal mine.

      I would love to live in a world where robophibia is a legitimate issue we need to overcome, but that’s not anytime soon.

        I’ve been waiting my whole life to stand in the living room drunkenly yelling “No daughter of mine is going to marry this… fucking roomba!”

        And she’d be all crying like 'That’s why I couldn’t you tell you I was robosexual, dad. You’re a hypocritical bigot! Mom would roll over in her grave if she knew what you and that Bimbo4000 subscription on your desktop were doing!"

        Then I’d punch a hole in the wall, which would be easy because all public housing would just be refrigerator cardboard boxes and yell “Why can’t you be normal like your transmasc ace furry brother??”

        Then she’d run out of the house crying and jump into her lover/Electric VTO transport that also plays in a band and burn thruster donuts in the front yard.

        But nooo, we get this stupid shit going on here.

      I feel like you intentionally left out some context there:

      This is so “peak 2026” - writing an equality policy to ensure people treat our AI bot with the same respect as they do their human counterparts. It’s intentionally a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it’s there for a purpose: we simply don’t have the capacity to deal with every request we get, and we need Bruce to be the coalface of support.
