It is a great analogy actually. We indeed don't know what's in any model. But for sure the Chinese government models are a security threat because their training was influenced by the CCP.

I've used them for like 15 years

Can't help but recall the JATO Rocket Car

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JATO_Rocket_Car

The famous JATO Rocket Car story was one of the original Darwin Awards winners. I remember reading it out loud to my buddies and us all rolling withlaughter when it was published in News of the Weird. pre-Internet.

CoreWeave is making the same case for its bonds.

> Apple has never had a moat, anyone else could have built this sort of hardware but they haven't.

I think both points are very incorrect. Apple has a massive moat. And Apple is making hardware (specifically, CPUs) that are two years ahead.

I had to Google that, of course

Feature request: near bike trail.

So move your fence 50 feet away from the property line. Obviously, this means you need to find a big property if it's adjacent to state land with large trees.

How about a bank vault? 500 year old tech that is still safe.

I'd argue that if used properly that crypto is more secure than most banks.

> 90% of litigation is pressuring a settlement.

90% of legal work where there is a plaintiff and defendant is pressuring a settlement. My wife, an attorney, does not consider that to be "litigation".

Problem: Anthropic is the only provider.

Is a hypothetical, but is one that's an even higher risk factor for investors.

I thought that sort of how artificial sweeteners work

You don't need a mirror image organism to cause great harm. An engineered prion could also be devastating.

I don't think preons are technically mirror molecules, but it's close enough from a risk perspective. If rogue AI were to do us in through bioengineering, it might be by creating a novel prion.

It was widely noted (at least 15 years ago, maybe more) that every generation of CPU is somewhat dependent upon the computational capabilities of the previous generation being used in its design.

It's an open question as to whether or not superintelligence will create a monopoly/duopoly. My opinion is that it will.

These specialized tools already deliver tremendous value. What happens on the backend financially is of no concern to me, as I have no influence over it.

I think LLM coding has changed the criteria from which language is best to which language has the best organizational/institutional support for the long-term.

I learned that lesson too. But I also learned that you get what you pay for in terms of the patent attorney's skill in crafting claims.

That'll change soon after bad things happen and the court's get involved and legal precedence are established. We're in the early days - from a legal responsibility perspective.

The obvious solution is to have them behave like drones - where their behavior is geofenced.

> the risks associated with this level of access will grow substantially.

This is not going to end well for everyone involved - especially for the user.

But that's the case on all platforms with any LLM agent being given full access.

There will be an adjustment period where users will learn of the risks - hopefully without much harm occurring.

Definitely not. I have laundry that I hang. Everything else goes unfolded into sorted bins. Of course it drives my wife crazy, and if she takes my laundry out of the dryer, she folds it. What drives her more crazy is that I proceed to just dump it in the bins.

After six years on my old build, last week I built a new computer. One of the things I invested in was treating the backup regime as the most important aspect of the new build. There's a piece of mind one gets from achieving the "seven heads"

Reverting to a snapshot is a better approach than using backups. My host machine is clean, as all my work is done in VMs.

> The question, however, is whether what they are designed for is the future I am barreling towards, one where agentic abstraction both renders traditional interfaces relics

I think he was burying the lede but glad he finally posed the question.

I think it's a bigger risk factor for Apple than is generally assumed. If consumers get used to the freedom but endemic spying of products like Muse, Apple may have a hard time sticking to their privacy and security mandate.

There is so much cool tech and tech spaces that have been lost in terms of the visual history and story. I wish I could go back in time and capture more of the spaces and artifacts that I was involved in. Perhaps this isn't an issue for anything created in the last 15 years since smartphones have existed.

That has been the nature of every Facebook API ever released

I want an electric too, but between also wanting a cheap car and one that doesn't spy on me, I just feel I have no choice but to stick to these older vehicles

> just brick the car

Consumer protections are strong enough to prevent that from happening.

My vehicle of choice for the last 16 years has been the Volvo XC70 which, since it was last manufactured in 2016, only ever had 3G modems, which no longer work. It's luxurious, a great form-factor, safe and reliable, and can be had for less than $10K. The one I'm driving now was the proverbial old lady vehicle. It had only 30,000 miles on it when I bought it three years ago. It could be the last vehicle I ever owned since they're good for 200k miles.

Funny story on my previous XC70. I sell my cars through a classic car restorer that also does consignment sales. The manager there wanted another vehicle, so he made me an offer directly which I accepted. I let them have the vehicle for a few days before the transaction. He called me and asked when the last time I changed the oil was. I said that I have no idea. He said it appears that there's no oil in the engine. That's how robust those old Volvo engines are. He went through with the transaction and is still driving it.

Apologies for the long sales pitch on old vehicles and specifically Volvos, LOL.
