The only way this is true secure is that this OS prevents ANYTHING from going out. It cannot make any arbitrary outgoing internet connection. It only has a downstream copy of your data that you are free to manipulate or search from within t

Yes, I don't. I have my own harness where the agent is only able to do a set of predefined things and none of them involves the internet. However, I imagine the model could be a lot smaller if it does not have the baggage of coding and

What is the best LLM that I can use right now that is optimized for everything other than coding? The last thing I want my personal agent to do is to write up code and run arbitrary commands. That is practically a legalized RCE.

I don't understand why Result type is necessarily slower. Result that simply bubbles up is basically an exception, no?

This is pretty easy to prove via experiment, no? 1. Pick any topic, 2. purely reading, 3. try to write about it I find myself "thinking" I understood something a lot more than I want to admit.

To me, this exploits by LLMs just show much of our existing security comes from obscurity. We are (were) mostly secure because people can't be arsed to figure out how to do it. But now we have LLMs. For instance, I am pretty sure that

A good thought experiment for this is to replace guards at jewellery stores or banks with a robot. Which one would you feel more safe? Do you trust that the robot won't randomly shoot you if you act funny on the street?

I am not sure if we should want to understand how our brain works. This is why I don't like libertarian free will people. We need to accept that we don't have free will. Otherwise we will study the brain thinking that we are above

What the fuck is the rationale to make this? I can kinda see the rationale behind Facebook and social media, they _could_ be useful. But this? This is like making a nuclear bomb out in public. The world is going to get a LOT worse in the ne

Age is just one metric. I don't want zero proof tech about information X. I don't want to have an identity. Full stop.

Right now, our identity is kinda tied to a string of letter (password). This password can technically be passed around, created and destroyed at will. Tomorrow, our identity is going to be tied to you as a person. So messages will be signed

What _should_ happen is that we create abstraction. We create a proof for a concept or algorithms. Then we can move on. We need to develop artifacts that can carry proof. We cannot keep writing piles and piles of texts and Python code to bu

The problem with coming up with a rule that works for everyone is that everyone have a different idea of what makes a good abstraction. Do you want to iterate using for loop or using .iter().step(2).map()? I would rather have consistency th

If we go this route, they are just going to embed the ads into the video itself. Clearly the solution is to create an alternative to Youtube. This war is not going to bode well to either side.
