Did you read the paper? Are there assumptions with which you disagree?

I should mention that the Remain advocate estimates of 3.6-6.0 were for a time frame of two years: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hm-treasury-analy...

Looking again at the article, I see that there are about 5 paragraphs about Railway and 30 about the agent (and, again, zero reflection about their own culpability).

If you look at the article, its title is, "An AI agent deleted our production database. It confessed in writing." To me this seems to be pretty clearly focusing on the AI agent. Then if you read the article, it attributes a lot of actions to the agent, and zero responsibility to the humans running the agent. It seems to be an anti-ad for the person's business.

The reason is clearly "signaling", because they certainly weren't furthering discussion.

If you actually follow the links you posted, you will see that he didn't create a meme coin and didn't rug pull it. Someone else made the coin and set it up so he got transfer fees.

The software is never accountable, so the human running it is always accountable.

Ok, I went and looked at his last 50 or so tweets. I didn't see anything that supports what you are saying.

That is a good example of "dumb shit". No one believes Musk is a Nazi, but they try to make hay with it anyway.

If you don't review what the product does, you are irresponsible for the product.

Put an ORM in your private repo which randomly 1% of the time calls DROP TABLE.

When I read SoaNM, I quickly realized that it had been used as a style guide for several later books, and most long-form tech articles in Wired, the NYT, etc.

Yes, because trusting LLM output is a great way to be in the bottom x%.
