There are ways to use those agents ethically. Cloudflare isnt forcing you to be a dick with your agents. Infact the blocking side encourages you to use them ethically. I dont see the problem.
This thing will be far more specific to whatever usecase your thinking of. It wont generalize as much and as easily as LLMs do. Youre heading back towards IBM's watson
There is also an economic aspect though. Thats where the ludditism comes in
If the monk thinks that this laptop means he wont get as much income (assuming selling manuscripts was their primary income) because of a race to the bottom with other monks, then rhey will start worrying about how theyre gonna afford to keep the chapel running. Where theyll get the money to pay the electric bill for all these niceties
It hasnt flattened yet. And the question is when will it. But its stupif to think its exponential. These things just arent exponential. The first half of the s curve seems exponential and wishful thinking extrapolates from there
The whole thing is that the trend wont hold steady. Its a n s curve and will taper off. The onky question is if the asympote is tapers to is above a certain threshold or not. Like the threshold needed to achieve what your talking about.
I dont know about the capability your talking about, but anyone who thinks these things are guaranteed, or a matter of time, is in for a rude awakening over the next few years
How easy is it to switch off keepass? And how easy is it to export off whatever you imported to? Passwords are simple, just remember the text. Passkeys have alot of uncertainty around this
Thats what the parent comment said. Older data centers are built more consciously of the surrounding, but these newer ones are being built with no regard for the community and are egregious. For example using on site generators that make alot more noise than the existing on grid datacenters
I need good handwriting OCR. Like perfect. Because id love to write things like blog posts on a remarkable or something, and then be able to just export it to text and publish
Model allignment isnt a science, its a craft. And its very very imprecise. Getting anything that subtle through would be impossible without making it obvious
And if your still concerned, go ahead and have a non chinese model review the code, make that part of the harness. The beautiful thing is that your free to do that because its open weight, you can run it however you want
You have the wieghts for the chinese models. Go ahead and run whatever tests you want.
The american models on the other hand are too powerful for simpletons like us to be allowed to use, but we can be assured its all in our best interest, citizen
That is so true. These models need to be democratized. The chinese are doing that because its beneficial for them in second place. The americans are trying to stop it because its detrimental for them in first place. Simple incentive allignment
The critical thing is that the american elites have screwed over normal americans so much that the public isnt alligned with them. The public doesnt feel like its in first place, because it feels like its (and is being told it will be) an underclass. So normal americans feel in the same second place as the chinese and are inadvertently alligning with them. Its crazy how badly the american elites managed to fuck this up
> OpenAI's internal "Galaxy" model is fully capable of functioning as what security people refer to as an "Advanced Persistent Threat
This is marketing. They saw anthropic create crazy hype around (the admittedly great) fable/mythos and they want to replicate that.
Im sure the model is capable of chaining zero days together to hack things, and thats something to address, but i have zero belief that they didnt have it do that intentionally so they could pretend it went rogue. These things dont have initiative, drive, or motivation outside of what we give them from the RLHF. OpenAI deliberately alligned or even prompted it to do just that and are now pretending its emergent
What i absolutely love is that this exact strategy is why coding agents dont work with proprietary tools. Open standards have so much context out in the open that any harness/agent can work effortlessly with it. But things like excel and word need manual integration which will be slow and painful and wont offer the same seamlessness for a feasible amount on effort.
Its an amazing schadenfruede, and im revelling in it
