Invalidate the recommendation cache

You mean like, when a new song is added to the list???

probably because every react native app they've used feels like shit

The litter robot is fine, it's just a turning globe that dumps into a box. The main issue is the sensors corrode so you have to pop the globe off and replace them. I just take it outside and hose it lol

I think my grandmother is the only person I can think of in my entire family that legit folds cloths properly. Dying art? :D

Robot vacuums are massively simpler and they fucking break all the time. Wheel motors or their position sensors, belts, plastic gears, contacts that corrode, a circuit board someone decided to not comformally coat and a cat puked on it...

How do you not have a proxy these boxes go through and track the traffic and monitor it?

Every day I learn more about how incompetent these people are.

I highly recommend a desoldering gun, like a Hakko, absolutely life changing if you take stuff apart or repair often.

Also, flux is your friend.

You need to have the AI validate it with a separate reviewer like with code.

I see. So the agent didn't build it blind. A human reviewed it and you had to make changes.

They were told to breakout of a sandbox, which probably biases the model toward more "black hat" behavior in their training.

btw, the fact that OpenAI doesn't have some sort of monitor/summary for the agents that they watch I find hard to believe. There's no way this is really authentic, anyway. Even a haiku summarizer would have been like "uuuh the agents are communicating" and they would have stopped it. But I bet they saw this and decided to see what would happen.

It would probably be good to be able to filter between the two. Personally I just wanted to see the list of events directly related to the nuclear plants. Since you know, that's what the site is for :)

I agree.

The models were told to do something malicious

It's pretty cool they used Artifactory directory names as a way to send messages.

I thought the monitoring part was cool: https://reactoratlas.com/en/monitoring

But why does it say stuff about hydropower? is that a translation bug?

It's okay to enjoy things.
