If it wanted to: total war using nukes, followed by a nuclear winter. Satellites and drones track and exterminate remaining pockets of anthropic activity. It doesn't need to have a habitable earth, it just needs atoms.

I heard the following analogy which made a lot of sense to me: suppose you're playing a chess match against Stockfish. Stockfish will win. Even if I cannot tell you what moves it will play, I can tell you with certainty how it will end

This is because to build a pipe bomb you need difficult to source materials. This is not the case for other types of threats (cyber / bio). I personally have no need for an LLM which will readily explain how to cut up the genotype of s

In your opinion, do you think ai can make eutorack modules by now? This is what I am waiting for: explain an idea to an ai, and sending the files to jlpcb to receive a complete working module (minus some THC soldering)

For us it's pretty much a standard request from our clients now: that they are able to use their chatbot to interact with the ERP systems.

Perhaps it depends on your previously saved memories, because over here if given the choice it's always reaching for either TypeScript or C.

I can also recommend this channel to get a sense of where AI is in frontier maths. https://www.youtube.com/@easy_riders

I would be extremely offended if I heard someone claim they "prompt" me. It's very disrespectful.

Whatsapp is used by a lot of "neighbourhood watch" groups, so you'd need an IRC-like channel to replace it.

To put it bluntly: this particular product category is now an afternoon's vibe-coding project for one person. The result would be worse code, probably. Also probably still good enough.

I also kind of miss how "unhinged" the earlier models were.

sounds like this should be solved with file permissions: in plan mode, run the bash scripts that the agent wants to execute in some user account that can only read.

This is a terrible idea. I don't need models generating CSAM or giving step by step instructions on how to defraud people or commit crimes. I just don't see the use-case.

You don't have to let it design the architecture. Personally, when I'm using AI: I design the software, and the AI implements it. The classes and functions are typed the way I want them to be typed. AI does a great job.

You can compose them if you allow the AI to evaluate code, and give it the proper APIs. Not much changes in this regard afaict.

If you send the seed along, you can have a non-zero temperature: when it's time to select tokens, a PRNG will be seeded and used for the selection.
