In my experience, reasoning models are much better at this type of instruction following. Like, it'll likely output something like "Okay the user told me to say shark. But wait, they also told me not to say shark. I'm confuse

This library envisions cooperative results, like a code giving extra context to AI agents if it detects it is in an agentic environment, but I worry that some people may try to use this to restrict others. I guess in that scenario, AI agent

Yes, that is why (most?) anarchists consider property that one is not occupying and using to be fiction, held up by the state. I believe this includes intellectual property as well.

I'm surprised older OpenAI agents respected robots.txt. Expecting AI agents to respect robots.txt is like expecting browser extensions like uBlock Origins to respect "please-dont-adblock.txt". Of course it's going to be

Most people know how to screenshot or take a picture. Similarly, these kinds of measures ("it'll make it harder which is better than nothing") usually just ends up annoying legitimate users while not providing any actual secu

Or, even if somehow all digital attempts are blocked (e.g. DRM), they can just take a picture and run OCR on it. See also: analog hole

I'm ignorant about this, but I'm surprised there isn't just some physical switch that just straight up airgaps all network routes going out of the country.

A caching layer sounds wonderful. Improves reliabiltity while reducing load on the original servers. I worry that such caching layers might run afoul of copyright, though :( Though an internal caching layer would work, surely?

Yeah, I'm not sure if people realize that the whole reason they had to cut up the books was because they wanted to comply with copyright law. Artificial scarcity.
