<p>I think it speaks to the unfamiliarity the author has with the workings of AI. A misunderstanding of the latent space and how it can generate bizzare images when it has little to go off of or inverse negative directions.</p>

<p>There are dozens of other surface factors beyond external user interfaces that are vulnerable to prompt injection.<p>It's pretty common where I'll point Claude to a source code to better understand how to integrate a project. For example I've having it look through <a href="https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus</a> right not to build out  the rather tedious process of mapping out a controller to the lights.<p>I don't give Claude all access but it certainly can cause some level of havoc even with the relatively save edit mode.<p>Now, there is a similar risk existing running any open source project's code, but putting code that harms people's computers is clearly against the terms of GitHub, and is quickly condemned. This should be too.</p>

<p>> Should you pay your roofer less because he uses a hammer instead of his bare hands?<p>Yes. Effective tools increase the supply of roofs made. More supply means lower prices per roof. But because the same number of roofs need to get worked on, the increase in roofs per roofer means less roofers will be needed.</p>

<p>Problem with that website/perspective is separating training costs from inference costs. Training is a one time cost, and while it is certainly not something you can completely ignore, it being one time changes the answer to "Is AI profitable?".<p>That site doesn't list the dozens of companies doing pure inference, and making a profit while doing so.</p>

<p>We absolutely do not need to waste as much water as we do on agriculture. Their is more efficient watering systems, crops that do not feed humans, and inefficient crops that aren't needed. Any one of those improvements would dwarf the water usage by AI.<p>Heck, a better solution yet would be to charge these AI/datacenter companies enough to cover the costs for watering efficiency systems to cover their usage and then some. It's a fraction of their costs, and way better than being anti-growth.</p>

<p>Except those people are dead. Those who ethnically cleansed Arabs (and Jews) during the nakba are dead. Almost everyone who was ethnicity cleansed is now dead. At a certain point you need to recognize that a new generation has been born into this conflict, and with it, a change in circumstances. Attitudes like yours ignore that Israelis who were born there don't have another home to 'return' to.<p>That doesn't mean that Palestinians don't have a right to resist occupation, but the circumstances are significantly materially different today then 40 years ago.</p>
