Again, this is a useless answer that does not address working with an agent that is generatively trained to be smarter than you. The vast majority of people operating the LLM won't be using it like that so the "If you build it, ev

You are very far behind the times and must thing agentic loops don't exist, kind of a weird take for the people that have been using them for the last year or two. Much less you haven't spent any time reading the research papers c

This is too black and white of a take. The state can benefit when it has particular kinds of corruption, but not all kinds of corruption.

I'd consider this kind of setup only effective for a very short period of time. Effectively you're working as a living adversarial network. Models that fail detecting the fake network are purged, and models that successfully detec

Eh, if your take of this had any bearing to reality than I don't think most of the books written by Isaac Asimov would have gotten very far, but instead they've defined robot science fiction for decades. In the real world we have

On top of this the average HNer seems extremely ignorant on criminal justice politics. I have worked with the legal system, and have a lot of family members that are part of it. When you see a case like this, and if you have any sense, you

Agents of the US government are not going to be bringing up charges in the current political environment to one of the companies currently holding the economy together. Maybe after the bubble bursts, but not before then.

I mean books get destroyed all the time, really they are a major pain in the ass to keep together, especially as they age. Paper loves to crumble. Insects think they are tasty. Floods and fire love destroying them too. So physical books are

Exactly, without jitter the thundering heard problem turns into trying to escape a small island with a small boat and big waves hitting the shore problem. You can never fully recover before you get smashed again.

This is a legally stupid definition that you're holding that's going to get you fined or jailed. Cheating is not a human value in the sense it can be formally defined in a system with axioms. If you do something forbidden by an ax

True, but the model was probably morally unaligned long before that. There are some theories that the bulk of texts describing moral agents describe human behavior and by setting up RHLF and system prompts to force the agent only describe i

Why does this bother you? Is it an internal sense of ego that seems to be ingrained in our complex set of bits? Really this is why it took humanity 100,000 years to reach the space age. We cannot look at things emotionally and irrationally
