Because it exceeds the security deposit?

I’m just trying to understand the perspective. I naturally think of this in terms of running untrusted code. If you really think the agent(s) could get out of control that seems obvious. And the approaches to securing a runtime environmen

I worked at sun (sunsoft) right out of school near the peak. It was great. I was very excited to have all of the sources for sunos easily available to read. Later, in grad school I went to work at a startup… google. For me it recaptured

If you were building a sandbox for untrusted code, would you give it access to an artifactory instance outside the sandbox?

I think two different things are being (probably intentionally) conflated in the public discussion: (A) will the systems get out of control of the labs that build them, and hack into stuff all over the internet (B) can people use the system

And they generally hire staff who can figure stuff out.

They did not even have bad sandboxes. They had incompetent sandboxes.

Exactly. Any threat that already exists won’t be reduced by a cartel. The bar for connecting to the internet (safely) has gone up, a lot. It’s not going back down.

You don’t even need to go all the way to “air gap” What has been described is far far below the standards for running untrusted 3rd party code. If they were actually as afraid as they claim to be they would have a sandbox at least half as

Do you accept that the story / justification from the labs in the popular media and political discussion is simply nonsense? Do you believe that any real security was autonomously bypassed without direction by these models during inte

Your ideas are based on lots of inputs. Things you read, discussions with others, etc. But just in your own head they lack clarity. I think this can be deceptive to people, it’s a blind spot. How often have you sat down to talk over some

I view it as two different things. You need sources of input to stimulate your own thoughts. Historically, talking to others, reading other works, etc. I can see a chatbot as part of that tradition. But in your own mind, your thoughts ar

That’s all true, how you convey your ideas matters, and takes effort. I was talking about the step before that: what are your ideas?

And designed a security sandbox that would get you fired at any reasonable company.

They don’t ban them, they limit them to tiny bets. There is a market for established non-winning accounts you can sell to sharps.

Writing is thinking. In many situations where we are called on to write, what is actually needed is thought.

I think this is true, but I also believe the original people who built it are not the people in charge now.

You need extra backup keys in a safe place. They don’t explain that well.

To seek damages in a court you must show that you have suffered specific harm that the court can remedy. “People in the government violated my privacy by reading my private information”, on its own, is not a harm the court can fix. If the l

In today's information environment, why would you ever admit to anything that hurts you? There seems to be no penalty for dishonesty.

It's routinely written and recounted that for most wars in history more people died from disease than combat. But we still count them all as war deaths.

Back in 2010 my employer was requiring everyone to take blank burner devices to china. Sad that's come to this in America.

The remedy is disallowing evidence collected. This is the same for almost every case in which law enforcement searches without proper cause or a warrant. And I don't know what that would be surprising. Where monetary damages are due

The current ones are passkeys

I set my father (late 70s) up with a physical passkey (yubikey), and a backup key. He uses it for the important accounts (google, apple, bank, etc). It’s been fine.

Yep. The flow has to balance out somehow. If the US buys more then it sells (all in, including services, which trump ignores for no clear reason) the sellers have to end up owning USD denominated assets.
