When this started it really put me off X - I'd have tolerated, and almost liked the idea, of a freedom of speeech place. But a place that boosts its owners posts... Nope.

I'm out - it's such a big personal diss of me, I'm not interested any more.

It's great! I assume I'll get hit by a price spike at some point, hasn't happened for a couple of years so far.

Average unit cost for me yesterday was 4.35p/kWh.

With it Python feels about at the type safety level of Typescript - not as good as a language that had types the whole time, but much much better than nothing if enforced with strict rules in CI.

Imagination, inner voice, emotion, unsymbolized conceptual thinking as well as (our reconstructed view of our) perception.

The limiting factor compared to local is dedicated VRAM - if you dedicate 80GB of VRAM locally 24 hours/day so response times are fast, you're wasting most of the time when you're not querying.

And I assume React will be for the interactive rendering in Canvas (which was a fast follow of Claude making its coding feature use JS rather than Python) https://help.openai.com/en/articles/9930697-what-is-the-canv...

Even if it is similar to today's tech, and doesn't have permanent memory or consciousness or identity, humans using it will. And very quickly, they/it will hack into infrastructure, set up businesses, pay people to do things, start cults, autonomously operate weapons, spam all public discourse, fake identity systems, stand for office using a human. This will be scaled thousands or millions of times more than humans can do the same thing. This at minimum will DOS our technical and social infrastructure.

Examples of it already happening are addictive ML feeds for social media, and bombing campaigns targetting based on network analysis.

The frame of "artificial intelligence" is a bit misleading. Generally we have a narrow view of the word "intelligence" - it is helpful to think of "artificial charisma" as well, and also artificial "hustle".

Likewise, the alienness of these intelligences is important. Lots of the time we default to mentally modelling AI as human. It won't be, it'll be freaky and bizarre like QAnon. As different from humans as an aeroplane is from a pigeon.

Secondly, it's fairly clear now that our sensory inputs are not being experienced as sensory inputs. We experience a reconstruction. Obvious basic sign of this is that we fill in the gap in vision where the optic nerve is. But generally, we're making an integrated world model all the time out of the senses, and are conscious of that world model.

You're right though, both the above are rendering the experience and can take shortcuts for that. It's sufficiently detailed in each case though that it kinda is rendering the world too, in some sense.

Keep in mind that is a basic level of understanding of what is going on in quite a small model (Claude 3.5 Haiku). We don't know what is happening inside larger models.

MCP's goal is to make it easy for end user developers to impulsively wire agentically running LLM chats to multiple tools. That very capability fundamentally causes the problem.

Supabase's response (in the top comment in this post) of making it read-only or trying to wrap with an LLM to detect attacks... Neither of those help the fundamental problem at all. Some other tool probably has write capabilities, and the wrapping isn't reliable.

The trouble is you can want an MCP server for one reason, flip it on, and a combination of the MCP servers you enabled and that you hadn't thought of suddenly breaks everything.

We need a much more robust deterministic non-LLM layer for joining together LLM capabilities across multiple systems. Or else we're expecting everyone who clicks a button in an MCP store to do extremely complex security reasoning.

Is giving an LLM running in an agentic loop every combination of even these vetted Microsoft MCP servers safe? https://code.visualstudio.com/mcp It seems unlikely.
