Then either fix them or put it in a stronger kind of sandbox. Or what would you propose? Anything that doesn't constrain arbitrary processes is weak against and AI just writing a p…

Nobody wants to live in a world where one party dominates due to access to superior AI and the others have to fear it (well, except for a few psycopaths who would gamble on being i…

This is the only kind of agent security that makes sense to me. Constrain it like you would any other subprocess. Unprivileged OS users, SELinux, firewalls, VMs... Unikernels? eBPF…

Maybe the future has those as two different jobs re: hard problems. - The sorcerer: Have meetings with others until you know just how valuable a solution to this hard problem actua…

Technology creates cliques. Some of them formed for good reasons, others maybe not. The nature of nix prevents the nix community from being a group of like minded people because it…

If you're exchanging public keys to configure your node with in the first place, then presumably you have a trusted side channel for that kind of thing. It's equivalent to the webh…

I don't think society worked that way until the web made it possible for society to work that way. And it's not working particularly well. It's brittle, coercive, and it asks opera…

How about I sell you a dollar? My price will be one dollar. Then you can sell it back, and we'll have three GDP-dollars in total! On the basis of this remarkable profit, we can pro…

That is true, but I think it's a pattern we need to get away from. It's the source of everything that is wrong with the modern web. - These single sources of truth become high valu…

Last month: agents spend 4 days on a hack, humans spend 3 weeks (so far) digging through the slop to figure out what happened Next time, one of those number will be smaller, and th…

Like some kind of pimple, which we can pop from all sides. And then we'll build something different. Something that works.

That might be true for 99% of data, but I find that it's the remaining 1% of that data occupies the majority of the time. If you don't have a problem that is solved by a blockchain…

I'm not sure what a private blockchain is, but a permissioned blockchain is one where only certain parties have keys that allow them to write blocks. You end up with a message queu…

If your consumers are going to end up in this position: > I do not trust the copy I built, and I have no way to know when it’s wrong, so I will re-derive it from scratch every nigh…

If not, beads + dolt seems like it would be pretty great.

> Giving an agent a shell environment with the ability to access the internet is fraught with risk A good middle ground is to give it a shell environment with no access to the inte…

If you have two or more services that need to agree about state, and you have some set of rules that govern what state changes are valid, and you don't want to mess around with any…

If somebody fires a gun in a place where that's not allowed, the victims are everybody in that place. If it just so happens that the bullet struck a window, the owner of that windo…

They would be criminal charges. It doesn't matter what huggingface wants.

Does this analysis hold these each as just once instance of corruption? - tamper with index fund rules so that the 401k's of the masses are bearing the risk of your risky investmen…

Ads are malware. It's not really surprising when they're found to be bootstrapping other malware.

If the scale necessary to get the job done cannot be achieved without a corrupt government in your pocket--somebody to drag people out of town hall meetings and ensure that the inf…

It's clear that the idiot does favors for the highest bidders. If you follow that money it points you, in various ways, to the AI companies. Who would have an incentive to tax phys…
