And that should be the core. There is a new, emergent technology, should we throw everything away and embrace it or there are structural reasons on why is something to be taken with big warning labels? Avoiding them because they do their work too well may be a global system approach, but decision makers optimize locally, their own budget/productivity/profit. But if they are perceived risks, because they are not perfect, that is another thing.

But what about all the rest of things you use operating systems for? Will they stop using cars or any kind of transport that have one or several running operating systems inside? Routers or internet connectivity? Finance, clusters, whatever? Have facebook in all the operating systems on their servers for all the platforms an age verification check for whoever logs in, or not?

Asimov robot stories (with it’s magical three/four rules) had examples of situations where even being “ethical” bad things happened. And in Black Mirror episode Men Against Fire humans were the ones with a fake context making unethical decisions (and reality is much worse than fiction as we’ve seen in the last months).

Taking out the absolutes, I would stop in that today’s LLMs lack context, critical thinking, and a lot more than make them unethical and unsafe. But something future that could be labeled as AI too could have some of those problems mitigated, maybe making better/safer decisions than humans in general.

The seasons in particular happens essentially in the same day in the same way across multiple years. You can put a mark, build a set of monoliths or whatever and see when you are back in that day again, regardless if it is a rainy, cold, hot or windy day. Weather is very variable, and may happen differently in different regions, but you can trust in the skies. And have a clear prediction for that was essential for any civilization based on crops and agriculture, or hunters/gatherers to know when trees will start to bear fruits and some animals come out from hibernation.

Everything is forgotten or accepted with the right media campaign, there are no war crimes, no punishment, as much you can get a commercial embargo or taxes if you are going against the interest of the biggest economic players.

And you can't assume that whatever vulnerability they have will let good guys to do the extra (and legally risky) work of closing the hole.

Anyway, DNS is far more than direct resolution, the article didn't scratched reverse resolution, DNSSEC, views, setting secondary servers or other things that may go deeply wrong in different ways.

At least regarding “normal” text generation, if you tell somewhat to the LLM that generate a Python script to write down a random password and use it it may have better quality.
