That's an interesting point and worth discussing. I'm not sure why you got down voted. Maybe people are perceiving some subtext that I'm not.

It sounds like one potential interpretation of his behavior is that he values his own time more than your time. I wonder if that's occurred to him.

You're just parroting the GP.

Does that meaningfully restrict which foods / ingredients you can get?

I share your worries. Unfortunately, this may be akin to the situation of "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

I am curious of that allows the new President, while in office, to assassinate the previous one and insta-pardon himself. It's amazing how much of America's political stability might rest not on the law, but rather on the self-res

Interesting. Thanks! > although it's off by a half century, roughly, if you include the Jewish diaspora. Mind expanding on this part?

I've recently started listening to a podcast from a retired Anglican Bishop, "Ask N.T. Wright Anything". IIUC, he claims that the concept of "soul" is something that the wasn't really present in the Jewish worl

I think we should go a little deeper on this idea. We can all agree that both human "experts" and LLMs can sometimes be right, and sometimes be confidently wrong. But that doesn't imply that they're equally fit for purpo

I totally agree. As flawed as this new approach might turn out to be, the traditional approach may (or may not) have an even worse probability of success.

I'm curious if LLMs would be useful for code understanding and for bug hunting in an environment like that. Are there any good models for those tasks that can work in an air-gapped enclave?

I'm guessing it ultimately comes down to the legal / financial / career incentives. My impression is that the market currently rewards visible software functionality with little concern for invisible risk. If we flipped the s

Forgive the tangent, but I'm just starting to learn about using AI for coding, and getting a safe sandbox is one of my next steps. Any suggestions for a vm/container setup that works on a Linux host, provides the safety net you

> Yeah, and ultimately no body cares. I assume you're using hyperbole. Some of us are very aware and concerned about the risk. But like Cassandra from Greek mythology, we see the coming disaster and feel powerless to stop it.
