The only thing close to a guarantee is to give the agent exclusive access to a clean VM with precisely the information and permissions you want it to have. I've been looking into a "workspace" concept that involves an entire

At a certain rate we will be able to move towards continuous / real-time inference systems. The discrete, turn based solutions are quite confining with how they must be trained. Continuous and real-time would fundamentally alter the do

The biggest flaw I've seen with TDD is the fact that correctness does not compose upward. Every time two units come into contact, you've got an entirely new kind of unit. The tests from constituents do not cover emergent propertie
