For a company with any decent number of people with access to the code base, extremely difficult to maintain that type of protection.

In my experience, autistic adults - if employed in their area they care about - will also care about things like ‘does it work’, ‘is it good’, ‘is it doing the right thing’. That will get you targeted in the current corp environment pretty

To get into power, you need to be supposed by others (the vast majority of the time). For those doing the supporting, they often want to be assured that they’ll not be hurt or retaliated against by those they put ‘above’ them. So, leverage,

It’s sight unseen, and true ‘spot’ price for something in that situation. Which could be anything from a hoarder to a granny that keeps everything spotless and perfectly maintained, and is having cash flow issues. If you can sell it on the

The example given was a ‘lightweight LLM’ by the poster, which sounded an awful lot like client side? If server side, you already have the heavyweight stuff going on, and yes there is no need to do all the bypassable shenanigans.

Not who you are replying too. But a yubikey is not a weak factor. In fact, it’s not even meaningfully more secure than passkey (as passkey is designed) - passkey is, however, more convenient. So it’s more ‘one weak factor + (really times) o

It’s already a (very real) crime to do a Conspiracy to deprive someone of their civil rights, which is what you’re talking about. Occasionally someone gets sued under it, but it’s rare.

Sure, but it is a natural law that the specific strongman in charge dies eventually. So far at least. Every tsar was different, Stalin and Lenin had their own flavors, etc. Sure it may suck, but the flavor does change? And that is something

It’s always been a case of ‘if they can’t catch you/enforce it, it didn’t happen’. It’s absurdly blatant now, however, and backlash is likely to be pretty crazy in 5ish-10ish years once it’s impacted enough people.

Except the AI was trained - by looking at the implementations? Or do you think Claude never saw the implementations in its training set? Because that is exceptionally unlikely.

In my experience, it’s the conflict of the ‘in theory’ vs ‘In practice’. Practically, ‘in theory’ might actually be doable - if there was a single, overarching regulatory environment. That was enforced. Chances are, that would defacto make

There is no way it’s max is 7MW. They likely meant 7GW. 7MW is the amount of power you can get from a couple of diesel gensets, waaaay smaller than even a small power plant [ https://www.cat.com/en_US/products/new&#

Slaves aren’t free. You still need to feed them, clothe them, and house them. You need to do basic medical care. And now you have the problem that most of them would happily murder you in your sleep/if your back is turned, or run away

The issue (for the masters, and besides any ethical issues) is being a slave master is a very tenuous position, and prone to revolts. Too capable (but also valuable!) slaves tend to be self sufficient and strong enough to throw you off. Too
