<p>i mean, to be fair, these are professional researchers.<p>i'm very inclined to trust them on the various ways that models can subtly go wrong, in long-term scenarios<p>for example, consider using models to write email -- is it a misalignment problem if the model is just too good at writing marketing emails?? or too good at getting people to pay a spammy company?<p>another hot use case: biohacking. if a model is used to do really hardcore synthetic chemistry, one might not realize that it's potentially harmful until too late (ie, the human is splitting up a problem so that no guardrails are triggered)</p>

<p>what about crypto voting schemes? zero knowledge and all that<p>if we assume the user connection is secure (ie, about as secure as banking), can we have secure internet voting?</p>

<p>By publishing the poison fountain, you are making it so that researchers will have to invent techniques to "de-poison" data, perhaps contributing to long-term AI advances in intelligent data filtering while training<p>And secondly, why would you want worse LLMs? Seems less useful that way</p>

<p>A one-click avatar replacement (for when you detect you are in an AI interview) - that'll be interesting huh<p>The fun part is that then, the interviews can look way different than today -- e.g. the robot interviewer can demand proofs of the user's skill, etc.<p>It can even be confidential (ie, robot interviewer <> user's agent in a black-box room) so that they can share data<p>Imagine you have a function f(user_profile) -> decision<p>You can run f in a way that respects the user's privacy (and also hides the details of f from the user).<p>Companies get ~10x more data from each interviewee<p>Interviewees don't need to even show up<p>Sounds like a good deal to me!</p>

<p>I don't know if you're joking, but here are some answers:<p>"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled." — Plutarch<p>"Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself." — John Dewey<p>"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." — Albert Einstein<p>In order to think complex thoughts, you need to have building blocks. That's why we can think of relativity today, while nobody on Earth was able to in 1850.<p>May the future be even better than today!</p>

<p>Yeah, one way to think about it is like... protocols restrict things, so that people can expect the same stuff.<p>With a traditional API, people can build it any way they want, which means you (the client) need API docs.<p>With MCP, you literally restrict it to 2 things: get the list of tools, and call the tool (using the schema you got above). Thus the key insight is just about: let's add 1 more endpoint that lists the APIs you have, so that robots can find it.<p>Example time:
- Build an MCP server (equivalent of "intro to flask 101"): <a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/guides/remote-mcp-server/" rel="nofollow">https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/guides/remote-mcp-s...</a>
- Now you can add it to Claude Desktop/Cursor and see what it does
- That's as far as i got lol</p>

<p>yes, and it's on a per-layer basis, I think!<p>So if the model has 16 transformer layers to go through on a forward pass, and each layer, it gets to pick between 16 different choices, that's like 16^16 possible expert combinations!</p>
