Honestly as soon as I saw browser in rust I assumed it had just reproduced the servo source code in part, or utilised its libraries.

- nindalf 9mo agoI thought they'd plagiarise, not import. Importing servo's code would make it obvious because it's so easy to look at their dependencies file. And yet ... they did. I really think they thought no one would check?

- satvikpendem 9mo ago> And yet ... they did. I really think they thought no one would check? I doubt even they checked, given they say they just let the agents run autonomously.
- bonesss 9mo agoHypothetically: what if they did check, only in order to ‘check’ they asked the LLM instead of manually verifying and were told a story? Or, perhaps, they did check manually but sometime after the files were subtly changed despite no incentive or reason to do so outside of a passing test? … Humans who are bad and also bad at coding have predictable, comprehensible, failure modes. They don’t spontaneously sabotage their career and your project because Lord Markov twitched one of its many tails. They also lie for comprehensible reasons with attempts at logical manipulations of fact. They don’t spontaneously lie claiming not to having a nose, apologize for lying and promise to never do it again, then swear they have no nose in the next breath while maintaining eye contact. Semi-autonomous to autonomous is a doozy of a step.
- dormento 9mo agoYou know, a good test would be to tell it to write a browser using a custom programming language, or at least some language for which there are no web browsers written.
- embedding-shape 9mo agoWrite a browser without any access to the internet, is what I'd attempted if I was running this experiment. Just seed it with a bunch of local HTML, CSS and JS files from the various testing suites that exists.
- koolala 9mo agoYou would want to download all the W3C and WHATWG specifications first.
- shermantanktop 9mo agoSome of them practically have pseudocode just waiting to be picked up.
- computerex 9mo agoI think that's too restrictive; agents should be allowed to reference the internet like we do.
- semi-extrinsic 9mo agoFortran 90 should fit the bill nicely.
- g947o 9mo agoSounds like it's finally the time to put my matlab license up for good use.
- louthy 9mo agoGood idea, I propose Brainfuck
