Often times people think of "nerfs" as my first prompt (which was greenfield - no or little code existed) used 5% of my plan usage. And then 2 weeks later (as the agent is busy reading hundreds of .rs and .ts files it previously generated) the user complains the usage is going down 30% for a single prompt instead of 5%. Attributing this to a "NERF" makes little sense because it's the same model.

So yesterday we were consumed with how this was being delayed because of safety, yada yada.

Guess not?

Realist. The cat is out of the bag on this - you can't make connecting an LLM to a command system illegal after hundreds of millions of people have already done so. You can however make it illegal to kill everyone with a nuke because your LLM did so. Not that it will make a difference after the nuke goes off.

Even if another political power takes control, the American population is the least of our concern for it being legal or illegal to connect an LLM to a command line or job system

Eh, weird things happen when you start using your real identity on the internet.

We had the same debate when self driving cars started to be a thing, and we decided that the companies making the self-driving tech are responsible..

So if an AI agent is asked to build a giant base for someone in MineCraft, and decided to build a swarm of additional agents, and one of those agents says "Time to destroy all humans" and autonomously hacks into the pentagon and fires the nukes - the company that developed the model is responsible. That being said - if the nukes deploy successfully, I have two questions:

1. If no one finds out, is anyone responsible?

2. Was any of this actually real?

> The lethal gene

Genetic engineering can suppress mosquitoes: researchers insert a gene into male mosquitoes that means their offspring will not survive, and then release them into the wild, where they mate with females, prevent those females having any surviving offspring, and collapse local populations. In 2000, biologists at the University of Oxford demonstrated that this idea could work in fruit flies. They engineered the flies to carry a gene that makes a protein called tTAV, harmless in small amounts but lethal when it builds up. In the lab, the insects are reared in a medium laced with the antibiotic tetracycline, which keeps the gene switched off. But, in the wild, where there is no tetracycline, the gene switches on, and the offspring die before adulthood.

The fact that this is discussed like this so simply, means it's probably being done to Humans too. I tend to think anything that applies to one thing will apply to all the things at some point. And not because the person writing this is evil - but because at some point someone evil will get their hands on this technology and deploy it at scale.

There is no political willpower to do that. We have literally reached endgame.

But you can't stop someone from connecting AI to something at this point, so your point is moot.

Well stated

And in some communities it's 90% and collected by people driving BMWs.

It's their country, can't they do what they want?

The basic premise is absurd on its face that a country should ever be expected to even allow immigration especially if it does not want it.

Ok, that makes sense to me then. I thought I was going to be taxed for unused land.

I guess here's an issue. I bought 13 acres - mostly because I hate hearing basketballs bouncing, other people's TVs, and "boom cars".

So if we're going to start taxing me at a million per year, can I start taxing those loud people a million a year so I can live in the city to pay for medical bills for my brain to go through the bouncing basketball.

Mind you, everyone else in my area has 10 - 15 acres and it's just a dead area. Just people that ran away from the city. There's absolutely no "value" in this land as no one wants to even be here and drive 40 minutes to get to a grocery store.

Not sure how you got one that gets 55mpg, mine gets 44 (47 was on the sticker). But in CA this still beats 100% EV.

I would imagine this is covered by the terms and conditions, lawsuit will likely succeed, but should fail.

What we need is a browser plugin that summarizes terms and conditions of any website and highlights the most egregious parts before any connections actually go to said website.

They prefer to spend $100M on CHIRLA

We need to make a law making it punishable to jailtime for posting fake, ghost, harvesting job postings. The proof is things like this - a posting for longer than 90 days.

So it's an oligarch if you don't agree with them, but just a normal guy if you do?

It has not, driving a car requires driving at realistic speeds.

Good to know, I think meetup is now $15 per second or something crazy

They say there is unlimited reconnaissance at the state level, but not once in my life did a wife or a friend or even an enemy of mine came up and said - I know you were at a bar last night. Shrug. What exactly was told to someone. What was found out?

Pandemic now, We lost our ability to go into a fucking restaurant for a time.

Walk back in 10...9...

It's odd that it prefers human culture but hates human civilization, which are one and the same.

One man operations that are in production - this is the perfect use case for that same person to run an agent to look for credentials that are not used, may have been exposed, etc... And obviously spend some cash on code review agents.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but it's not enough. The threats are real and active.

* Quest cheaper - yes but meta

I had that VooDoo card- Quake 1 was amazing on it. Of course today it's not amazing.

Also HN: We don't get jokes.
