by cs702 7mo ago
That's true, but only to a point. Due diligence is not uncommon, especially with more traditional forms of credit. I resorted to the mortgage-lending analogy so others could quickly grok what multi-pledging means.

TL;DR: The authors found current-generation AI agents are too unreliable, too untrustworthy, and too unsafe for real-world use. Quoting from the abstract: "We report an exploratory red-teaming study of autonomous language-model–powere

It used to take years, decades, or centuries before a system could grow and evolve to be so complex and unwieldy, and so full of internal contradictions, that the whole thing becomes an incomprehensible tangle of hairballs. An example is th

Thank you for sharing this on HN. It's a worthwhile effort. If successful, Woxi can enable a large mass of scientists and engineers who don't have access to Mathematica to run legacy code written for it. Also, Woxi would give tho
