Train it on human content, get human emulating behaviour, including all the perverse incentives and bad acting we see from people, fictional or otherwise.

Accessibility is not an edge case. Every single human being who lives long enough will experience some form of accessibity challenge, either for themselves or for others around them. You can dismiss the lives experience of most humans over

There are plans to build these networks at various stages. Putatively to enable connectivity, but in practice the tech creates a device to device mesh network that enables side channel communication over a secure mechanism that is not neces

There are lots of good reasons that are used to paper over the abuse cases. Microphones in tvs are a useful accessibility feature when they enable voice commands for the user, and allow them to be used as voice assistants. They also enable

Don't underestimate the ability of the courts and the state to pull the rug out from under the legal system. Speaking as an outsider from Canada, it looks very much like all bets are off in terms of respecting checks and balances in th

I understand what you are saying, but it's completely impractical in a world where applying those constraints leads to established leaders imposing those constraints on developing countries or economies. Today its the G7 applying pena

The concept of ownership is synthetic and a legal construct. Laws are written by people, and with enough accumulated power, for which money and influence are proxies, the laws can be changed. There are already a significant number of peopl

So what's the expectation here? We all know that governments are going to be corrupted. We all know that democracy sucks sometimes or even alot of the time. At least if there is a government agency to communicate with that collects t

Those battles are only ever won over decades. The problem is that technology has vastly outpaced our ability to regulate and respond to it, and the system meant to provide checks and balances has been vastly corrupted. Look at the recent Me

That's fairly obtuse. Sure, the actual weights from the model aren't 'programmed', but the mlops harness to load the weights and handle model io are. The harness that wraps the model to give it basic tools sure is. Th

For OSs harnesses this seems like a good thing to point a paid model at fixing if you don't want to dig in yourself?

Yes, but the defenders need to make money to fund their work and be right every time to be effective, and have a high degree of accountability if they fail to secure stuff while attackers can be less considerate of how they spend their reso

So the term used internally is to make things "Determinishtic". I use skills extensively, combined with SOPs, scripts and MCP servers. An example skill I have is SessionMiner, which is installed via post session hooks in Claude a

Random humans don't have a significant cross section of human knowledge available in real-time, although many like to pretend they do, especially in internet comments :P Being able to compete with the capabilities of a median human wo

It's absolutely critical, and worth mentioning, that even after substantial reductions, there are a lot of Canadians still working on and contributing to Firefox!

That might have been the case two years ago, but there is no shortage of decent open source solutions that meet or exceed most business use cases. I am sure some enterprising consulting firm will come along and offer integration of those +

The first half yes, the second half, I don't think so, because that would require OpenRouter to know what you are charging your customers.

One of my challenges is that I often end up burning tokens trying to build the right solution rather than building a solution that is good enough and deferring the right choices until later. I have been actively working to change my expect

I'm ok with that. When the.major AI players implode under debt, it will create a massive proliferation of folks who go on to start new businesses unencumbered by the debt and bad decisions by the current leaders. The collapse of the ma

I would rather make the case that with the increasing consolidation of media under the big tech companies, regulation is more effective than a business case.

First, to be clear, I work for Amazon, and I don't work on this or related efforts, I am a security engineer. I also won't talk about or answer questions at work, and my comments are more generally about the practice (all of the
