I agree it's not very clear. They would do well to mention it somewhere besides the main site footer because it would probably help adoption / community / testing too. That said, any company with a lawyer wouldn't let th

The AI did not and cannot escape guardrails. It is an inference engine where the engine happens to sometimes trigger outside action. These things aren't intelligent or self-directed or self-motivated to "try" anything at all.

Sorry, but you are incorrect. Most payment systems today can be tracked and reversed. Crypto will too, after it becomes well regulated, and then it will lose its appeal and crash. No one wants to mess with some convoluted cryptography based

How about service proxy vs web proxy rather than reverse proxy and proxy? Makes more clear that one is a proxy on the service side and the other is a proxy on the client side. Service proxy and Client proxy might be even better.

Yup. Exactly this. As soon as enough people get screwed by the ~80% accuracy rate, the whole facade will crumble. Unless AI companies manage to bring the accuracy up 20% in the next year, by either limiting scope or finding new methods, it

Double spend any bitcoins in their possession? Or just announce and prove that they are doing it, thereby causing a run on bitcoin and all the other bozobucks.

Yup, good point. Another flaw along with software and compute that no one seems to pay attention to. When the Bitcoin bubble pops everyone trying to squeeze through a few transactions is going to identify the actual worth of Bitcoin.

I agree with this. I really do not know why in the hell one person or entity owning 500 houses wouldn't pay more in taxes for the 500th house than the 1st house. You pay more income tax on the 500,000th dollar than the first dollar.

It is quasi-deterministic (sans a heat parameter) and it only ever responds to a query. It is not at all autonomous. If you let it do chain-of-thought for too long or any sort of continuous feedback loop it always goes off the rails. It is

It is not a judge of whether we got to AGI. And literally no one except straw-manning critics are trying to claim it is . The point is, an AGI should easily be able to pass it. But it can obviously be passed without getting to AGI (as .
