if programming is theory-building, what is programming with an agent that doesn't necessarily care about it?

i don't think you can plan it all out, but i agree that there isn't even a vision or dream of what the end result ought to look like, in some coherent way
It really, really does not feel like many of the people pushing AI and robotics to go as fast as possible have a good model of how it's going to go well

Quote-post with your favourite bit of #HaskellDisinformation. We'll start: It is well-grounded in Category Theory, and you must learn it in order to program with the language.
i really wish people that don't actively use haskell understood haskell, like, at all

dont sleep on fusion. fusion has the juice. look at this shit. impeccable sci fi vibe. alien curvature for reasons u wouldnt understand bc u dont know what poincare sections of the plasma beam are. it's even greebled with ports and domes and shit. u can tell the physics nerds are really cooking here

is there any published evidence on this accident other than Anthropic's self reporting?

not meant as a dunk, but this is a purely artificial "emergency". Especially for ARR which has submission cycles.

the entire information infrastructure of the EU can be turned off by the US and they are c++pping themselves over Chinese buses
OK, so now the UK, Norway, Australia and Denmark are all investigating buses made by China's Yutong Group for security risks.

UK investigates whether buses made in China can be turned off from afar
Investigation comes after Norway found Yutong vehicles could be ‘stopped or rendered inoperable’ by Chinese company

I don't think the parallel holds at all.
Not only you can unplug and reset an LM, but you can engineer its knowledge and steer it more or less at will, repeatably and without memory/histeresis.
I agree a precautionary principle should hold in general, but the particular differences matter a lot.

When I started my doctorate, I had to complete the standard research ethics training. Particularly with prisoner populations, I saw many parallels to AI. #ai #artificialintelligence #llms #largelanguagemodels #aiethics

even your favorite author writes a platitude sometimes 🥶
Like all walls it was ambiguous, two-faced. What was inside it and what was outside it depended upon which side of it you were on.

I’m still not close to being able to explain the output to someone else, but I guess this counts as progress?
