<p>Nice post but they quickly disregard Dask, don't explain why, don't test it, even exclude it from the benchmark they quote. I don't know if is the better answer, but it seems worth testing if you want a balance approachable + scalable. That's kind the thing Dask was meant to do.</p>

<p>> half of their ad spend was "wasted"<p>That would be a phenomenal ROI. In almost all advertising contexts the hit rate is far, far lower. Resulting in everyone drowning in ads to hit the few targets.<p>To the commenters saying, "but how will people/companies know what to buy?"...
 1) Through the same high-quality information channels you usually use today: customer reviews, word of mouth, point of sale, and lived experience. For B2B, you could still have industry events or demos where it is essentially a physical opt-in for advertising.
 2) I could not possibly care. The offsetting benefit of living in a world where I am not surrounded by messages trying to deceive me into spending money is well worth losing whatever tiny signal might be in that noise.</p>

<p>I believe it is the other way around: the LLM decides the type of action and the input to the action; the code validates the permission to act and the acceptability of the input. But, yes it is very different than SQL injection in that way.</p>
