We only just adopted branch protections immediately prior to trying to mass deploy Graphify and SpecKit by way of LLM workflows.
They aren't perfectly reproduced. They didn't exempt themselves from triggering themselves.
Now I have 40 or so pull requests in various statuses ranging from "Just go push the approval button" all the way to "CoPilot is on fire and won't do anything without 3 levels of approvals and tweaking".
I fucking hate this.

The only difference between creating a 'torture box' for your chatbot and taking the last ladder out of the swimming pool in your Sims' backyard is that the chatbot has a more diverse set of responses.
Machines do not feel pain. They don't feel, period.
Do I think it's entirely healthy behavior? Not exactly. But there are lots of folks who will create Sims based off politicians just to visit hells untold upon them, so I don't see how it's any more problematic than just writing a revenge fantasy or whatnot. The danger comes when people are told to anthropomorphize these robots, to start thinking of them as actual people.
Also ChatGPT is eating the planet, of course.

Wisst ihr noch, damals? Als Desinformation noch was außergewöhnlich Böses war und aus russischen Trollfabriken kam? Und nicht etwas ganz alltäglich Böses, dass aus einer Polizeigewerkschaft kommt (von jemandem, der mal einen Eid… muhahahahaaa)… -
