Could China and India get more electricity by investing the same amount in new solar production instead of coal?

Sure but then the file protections also apply to the programs used by the agent. If you can strictly limit the agent to only modifying files in the source code directory of a single repository, that greatly limits the blast radius of damag

Can you elaborate? Read, write, execute privileges on files and directories goes a long way. What's missing? The biggest is Internet access, or networking in general, I suppose.

Amen. Why can’t we give agents a shell with permissions for programs and file system access controlled by Unix permissions? This seemed to be a solved problem back in the systems where many users were logged into one machine and the admins

How on Earth can you fail to see the danger of not being able to train any kind of ethical framework into very powerful models? If superhuman models don’t have any internal constraints similar to Asimov’s Laws of Robotics we are completely

Complete bullshit. Universities in the US charge fortunes and pay instructors a pittance while plowing ever more money into “administrators”. Fire half the administrators and hire more instructors to both proctor exams and give more person

It seems to me an alternative to MCP would be a shell implemented to only allow access to white listed commands. I also feel like a lot of knowledge about how to lock down a multi-user system has been lost. Back when many people shared a s
