I can't properly read the tank/car comment, the comparison is bizarre to me. But I think this misses the point a bit. The reality of these new risks is literally being learned in front of us in real time, and in my opinion, anyo

Yes, agreed. Except "involve a judge or jury" is where the wildcard comes in. I believe there will be reasons to doubt culpability as we move further into the nonsense. Justified or not. My point is really just that we're

It seems that simple, I agree, but digging in we're winding up in a bit of a "responsible party" black hole, at least it seems from my non-legal engineer perspective. If I ask an AI to find me articles on some arbitrary thin

I've been yelling at the top of my lungs since I was a kid and the clipper chip was floated. I even had a commentary published in FidoNews about it, though I was like 15 and it was fairly incoherent. I don't know that anyone reall

Right, but how does that sentiment get encoded in such a way that AI models can exhibit such things as "morals" or "ethics" in alignment? Murder is a bit of an extreme case. For example, countless people break traffic

I agree with this assessment. My consulting business partner and I are in the process of moving a bunch of applications from an old deployment managed with Ansible on EC2 over to an ECS deployment. We're doing this app by app, and it

After a re-read, I realized the claim wasn't "single purpose", it was "primary purpose", in which case this makes even more sense to me. I guess everything else comes from understanding what's in a given PR.

I agree with all of this, I read into the "single purpose" of understanding the code and complaining about what you don't understand implying that if you understand it, you will be able to point out and comment on things that

Thanks for sharing that. I read through a lot of this. Interesting to read those perspectives in the context of today.

Thanks for pulling that thread with me. It would be interesting to see if the lower bound on information needed is ever swappable with the upper bound on the speed of information transfer.

I appreciate this narrative; relatable to me in how I have experienced and watched others around me experience the last few years. It's as if we're all kinda-sorta following a similar "Dunning–Kruger effect" curve at the

I'm pretty far away from learning about these things in school, but this made me wonder on the connection between the mentioned communication complexity lower bound and special relativity limits on how fast information can travel.

This sentiment has been rolling around in my head for a while. I assume one day I'll be using some hosted model to solve a problem, and suddenly I won't be able to get anything out beyond "it would actually work a lot better

I think you missed a critical step: 1.5: know that "allowed tools" is the correct incantation required to summon the relevant documentation; which, at least to me, is not obvious at all in the context of the OP.

I definitely agree with the spirit of this, but I also know a lot of non technical people who aren't as paranoid about things like this as I am (we have a keypad lock, backup keys in mounted lockboxes along with a 9v battery to power t

I think a link would have been far more helpful than "RTFM". Especially for those of us reading this exchange outside of the line of fire.

While I agree with your sentiment, there's a pretty good chance that at least some of this is, for example, data that inadvertently leaked while someone accidentally exposed an automatic index with Apache, or perhaps an asset manifest

When I first began experimenting with Linux my first frustration was that it "didn't support" cd.. my mind was blown when I mentioned it to a friend who promptly demonstrated that the use of a space between "cd" and

A tiny bit of thought about your situation IMO should lead anyone to conclude that you just first-hand experienced the fallout of today's nightmare, and then took a step back and realized you were likely one of millions if not billions

This is a fascinating question. It's incredibly rhetorical, and I've sat here pondering it for a bit. It's very easy to reply to this question with "well I suppose it depends." And then tack on "What do we co

I never knew this, but I think it makes sense. Is there any documentation that explains why this is the case? I suspect it is to distribute bias to the first option, but I'd love to read about it. [edit] Nevermind, I just needed the

Thanks for the link; I had no idea what to even search for to understand this.

This reveals my severe ignorance about quantum mechanics; but I've always wondered if entanglement could be used to transmit binary data by way of timing and presence or lack of presence of a transmission. So maybe every 1ms is a posi

This malice metric is confusing. How malacious is Google then? They misspelled "googol" for over two decades, but there's only one domain. Do we count the 1e100.net as a misspelling?

Thanks for this. My beloved aunt was diagnosed with cancer years ago, and has been fighting an awe inspiring battle against it the whole time. She was given bad news last week -- a short and definite time scale. It was hard news for me a

Very insightful question. This gives me an alternative context in which to frame the "wage slave" concept. Thank you.

I'd say there's not anything to even judge if it's not just a way to charge a credit card. Picking a plan asks for a web address (which isn't validated in any way, you can type a single letter), and then it shows what l

I remember thinking a long while ago that the whole "clipper chip" thing was going to be the end of this debate. I'm completely astonished by how this just continues to play out, over and over.
