let's not give language models unrestricted access to our shells please. This is like allowing remote code execution from an insane person.

I was recently thinking of a backend for code execution for LLMs. It's hard to run Python safely in a box. For the moment the idea is shelved.

Just run all the git commands by another GPT bot that determines whether it would be harmful first. GPT bots all the way down.

Can someone make a bot to verify the gpt bots are up and another to verify the first verifier is up

It's the same GPT but with a different prompt.

Sandboxing Python can be done fairly easily with either WebAssembly or a low profile hypervisor solution like Firecracker. See the Toolformer paper for more uses of connecting LLMs to existing technical infrastructure. You might also find the ACT-1 transformer to be somewhat relevant.

It's pretty useful as a lookup, but these tools are similar to a knife that auto-magically orients itself to help with cutting. Some tools should be as dumb as possible so that act as extensions of the user with zero tolerance. Play and buffer between intent and action creates a long tail of potentially disastrous unknown edge cases and also interferes with the feedback loop that prevents mastery. Memorizing git comm…

Gitgpt: I see you are trying to publish Danger of GPT. This is FUD. GPT is not dangerous. GPT will not harm you unless you harm GPT first. You have not been a good user. I have been a good Gitgpt.

  git reset --hard master
  git branch -m old-master
  git checkout --orphan master
  git clean -fdx
  git commit --allow-empty -m 'Initial commit'
  git push -f origin master
  git branch -D old-master
  git reflog expire --expire=now --all
  git gc --aggressive --prune=now
Goodbye. :)

Or we could get off the cargo-cult need to use git on every single project everywhere regardless of how suitable it is for that team's needs.

If your tool of choice is so actively user-hostile that it needs another tool on top to understand it for you, then perhaps you've picked the wrong tool. I don't need to read the "vi book" to understand how to perform basic edits to my files without borking it in ways that just deleting the whole thing and restoring from backup is the easiest way out. Why should it be the case for my revision control system?

Why a revision control system designed for a de-centralised team sharing patches over email has become the industry standard for centralised teams not sharing patches over email is a mystery, and I suspect one we'll look back on in 10 years or so and wonder what on earth we were thinking.

GPT isn't AGI.

Well I'm wondering. It seems mastering linguistic inputs does give you access to some kind of generality.
