- m0llusk 1y agoIs there a way to confirm this works or do we just have to trust that settings will be honored?
- consumer451 1y agoYou could place some unique strings in your code, and test it to see if they appear as completions in future foundation models? Maybe? I am nowhere near being a lawyer, but I believe the promise would be more legally binding, and more likely to be adhered to, if money was exchanged. Maybe? The "Amazon Q Developer Pro" sub they mention appears to be very inexpensive. https://aws.amazon.com/q/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/q/pricing/
- Waterluvian 1y agoJust like using an AI model, you can’t actually know for sure that it won’t do anything malicious with what interfaces you give it access to. You just have to trust it.
- dkga 1y agoWell, you can at least check if there is network traffic to AWS or something similar.
- yurishimo 1y agoBut wouldn't that look the same as actually querying the model? Or am I missing the joke?
- Waterluvian 1y agoThere’s always ways to mitigate malicious behaviour once it’s already happening.

Reflections on trusting trust (https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_ReflectionsonTrustingTrust.pdf https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_Ref...) was one of the formative papers of my software engineering career.
- pmontra 1y agoAs for everything else: trust, possibly enhanced by the fear of consequences for the other party. How do we know if random internet service sells our email / password pair? They probably store the hashed password because it's easier (libraries) than writing their own code, but they get it as cleartext every time we type it in.

They probably store the hashed password because it's easier (libraries) than writing their own code, but they get it as cleartext every time we type it in. For that, we can just use a unique password per service. That's not really a thing for code.
