A newbie with an AI and a credit card is still a newbie! DN42 community you should be ashamed

Preface On Mastodon Flüpke made a post about the DN42 community taking offense that they deliberately tricked an AI agent - run by an inexperienced user - to generate as much monetary costs as possible. Initially I didn't know what/who DN42 is and what actually happened. So I read the linked blog post, written by Lan Tian a member of the DN42 community who actively participated in the event and, to get this out of the way, was utterly disgusted by the shown behaviour and displayed group dynamics. Flüpke called them "tech aristocrats", and I can understand why. And I am deeply ashamed that nowhere, neither in the blog posts comments, nor in the discussion on Hackernews I found people condemning their doings. They tried to caused significant financial damage to an, obviously, technically inexperienced individual. And all this is .. funny!? Rightfully deserved? Just because .. AI was involved? Yeah, this is exactly the type of behaviour bullies display. No reflection, no morale…
