This reminds me of a similar ask that someone had a few years ago about a video calling solution device. I posted an explanation then as to why proposing iPads and iPhones is missing the point. I think the same sentiment applies. https:&#x

Nothing is impossible, so best of luck to the OP, but to add to the above, the kind of clients with the budget for your solution might also be the kind where their legal department requires that you have audited compliance procedures for va

There is no universal lie if you accept the concept of the paperclip maximiser because we cannot predict all the activities an intelligence would undertake that it could self-justify was in service to its goal.

Not sure either... unless it means a workflow where instead of chunking your knowledgebase docs and generating embeddings, you do entity and relationship extractions on them instead and store an index of knowledge graph serialisations to so

You're viewing the cows in isolation here. Replace the cows with cancer cells with different mutations and it doesn't work anymore. There's research going with certain types of cancer where the doses of cancer-killing drugs i
