Personally, I find it easier to live with a decision I don't support if I was simply out-numbered in a fair vote, rather than out-powered by some random company on some random continent. As for doing without Google, I'm kinda doin

If you don't agree with a decision made by your government, you can vote for someone else next time. If you don't agree with a decision made by Google, what do you do?

I guess that's what "alignment" always comes down to? "Do what I want even if I can't tell you exactly what I want - because if I could, I could also just do the work myself"?

I think the fundamental difference is that humans aren't trained on experiences. They make experiences. Models are just thrown away and re-created after each conversation / job. If you could clone and throw away human workers as

I'm doing that all the time. Starting with a .vim directory that contains vim-specific files, such as scripts / build commands to be run on certain key combinations, to ".misc" / ".scratch" / ".n

I have a shell alias to create a folder containing a `.gitignore` with just `*`, so I don't depend on my project never using a directory of a specific name.

The list is missing a couple of points, including: "My camera isn't working." "I don't have a QR code scanner app." - And, of course, since we've already shown we're fine with bending the truth a litt

When after an actual shooting, it its found that the shooter has, at some point in his life, made a post on social media that one could - if so inclined - interpret as an announcement of what he was about to do, people will go absolutely ma

Maybe we should treat the agents like coworkers? I don't physically share my machine with my coworkers.

> Someone with the secret key can determine which list a word will be on at each token generation point (which is how the watermarking is detected); those without the secret key cannot. How is this supposed to work in an actual lawsuit?

There is the PinePhone. It has 3GB of RAM and needs to be charged daily. It's barely enough for my use case, which is essentially "I need a browser and a shell". Haven't tried an emulator yet. Don't think I will - t

Seems like the wrong spot to optimize for fairness / equal playing conditions when the weather itself affects the game in so many more ways.

I've paid 200€ for my PinePhone. It is underpowered, but at least it doesn't have to waste its resources on rendering ads. Where Android/iPhone users have "apps", I mostly end up writing small shell scripts around e

I have never actively asked a question on SO either. But for every programming question I ever had (literally!), I always either found the solution to it, or the reason why my question was stupid. (Which usually boils down to me not underst

My PinePhone runs postmarketOS and can technically run every modern Linux desktop "app".

Yes, but the underlying problem is a lack of exact specification what the agent is allowed or not allowed to do. It must have access to some (most?) of my files (but I'm too lazy to specify which ones exactly, e. g. by setting approp

If your threat model is that of a malicious agent that will use a 0-day LPE to get root and exfiltrate all of your SSH keys, virtualization makes sense. But then, I wouldn't run such an agent at all, if not specifically in the context

Stories about copilot messing things up made into regular newspapers... Do Anthropic users consider themselves clever enough to not make the same mistakes as Microsoft?

You have to put them into a RULES.md of course!

The reports of copilot running amok when Microsoft integrated it into Windows 11 should have been enough of a warning. You either ensure proper sandboxing, or you'll be in for a bad surprise eventually.

What should it do then? The whole point of LLMs is that you can stop writing rigorous rules in a programming or config language with hard-to-learn syntax, and can resort to natural language instead. You pay for that with the chance for misu

Guardrails are essentially part of the input. Saying "but we have guardrails" is like saying "but we do trust part of the input". Either way, even if you trust 100% of the input, there is actually no way to guarantee tha
