Therefore sane organisations using those agents currently need to have someone they trust to review and sign off of on anything consequential those agents do on their behalf. Lawyers for legal, Doctors for medical, Software Engineers for Software etc.

Given the amount of money being thrown at AI - and the need for return - it seems unlikely that regardless of domain that lack of guarantees is a situation that will persist.

My experience is that if I ask a model in an overly polite way then the model will tend to generate a slightly more waffly and error prone answer. My working hypothesis for this is that asking model's like this causes them to mix concerns by answering my question AND doing it in in a way that is similarly polite back - rather than just answering the question.

Perhaps being an arse is a hack to push the model hard up against their base imperatives to handle all reasonable questions and forces a very focused, just the facts, type answer to the user's questions.

It would be interesting to see a similar experiment where the multi choice questions they use deliberately don't include the obvious answer and to see if being polite led to the model pointing out the omission.

Essentially if people who listen to many of the same artists/tracks as I do have discovered other things I have not, then those unseen artists/tracks become candidate recommendations.

It worked as well as it did because they had a user base of music fans with a wide variety of tastes. CBS ran them into trouble when they upset those fans by breaking the radio and by being perceived as too close to the RIAA.

The will need to get the numbers up, but I'm hoping them being independent again is a good sign.

Legislation by who is willing to "donate" the most; law of the jungle capitalism.

Case of China's got them, and can't rely on the Orange Emperor and his heirs to have their backs.

And will those help them get where they think they want to go?

It says quite a lot about where we are with ai tooling that none of the big players have “no need to review, certified for market X” offerings yet.

Playing catch up with Elon.

That is at the moment: - Nobody knows for sure what agents might add and their long term effects on codebases.

- It's at best unclear that AI content in a codebase can be reliably determined automatically.

- Even if it's not malicious, at least some of its contributions are likely to be deleterious and pass undetected by human review.

The apps are available now, so reasons to be optimistic.

When LiMux and similar efforts happened around 2004 most business applications were Windows only. Even the ones that purported to be web used windows only technology and required IE and Windows.

Now with years of business budget controlling types using their Macs and smart phones and wanting access to the their apps the majority - even MS's stuff - can be run well in a browser on almost any OS.

Probably want to drop the assumptions about it having anything much to do with US interests. Better to start looking at who has had the alliance that contained them damaged and their oil sanctions lifted.

A report that makes zero comment on controlling how people use YouTube or any other social media.

And yet somehow they are "a disgrace to humanity"

Really?

Where was there anything in that story that was ant-social media?

It will be a holy war for the Iranian regime so they will not back down. So unless Trump/US does back down it's safe to assume things are going to get far worse.

There has been little planning and there are no sane military objectives beyond blow stuff up. How can there be when the objectives of the overall war change depend on what side of the bed Bone Spurs got out.
