so glad these things have a solid security model and this totally won’t result in a scrambled half-assed fix
Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Remember Devin, the AI coding bot that turned out to be a complete scam?
Well, looks like Goldman Sachs decided to let it loose on its code base. In YOLO mode too, it seems.
It would be really funny if Devin caused a financial crash this way
Total fucking Devin move if you ask me.
Devin will be supervised by human employees and will handle jobs that engineers often consider drudgery, like updating internal code to newer programing languages, he said.
Good luck to the workers having to debug that shit.
Goldman is the first major bank to use Devin, according to Cognition, which was founded in late 2023 by a trio of engineers and whose staff is reportedly stocked with champion coders.
Being good at Codeforces contests surely translates to any other domain. I expect the Cognition guys to fully deliver on their promises.
So apparently Grok is even more of a Nazi conspiracy loon now.
I'm sure a Tucker Carlson interview is going to happen soon.
Elon makes Grok developers install intrusive surveillance software on their laptops. They're being told to enable screen captures and URL tracking.
In conjunction with his comments about making it antiwoke by modifying the input data rather then relying on a system prompt after filling it with everything, it's hard not to view this as part of an attempt to ideologically monitor these tutors to make sure they're not going to select against versions of the model that aren't in the desired range of "closeted Nazi scumbag."
El Reg: At last, a use case for AI agents with sky-high ROI: Stealing crypto
Two tastes that go great together!
So random thought, you now how LW is worried about an seed AI going foom right, how it bootstraps itself into a new AI with better capabilities which bootstraps etc all the way till the singularity.
Why isn't it happening? Gpt-2 was released 2019, 3 2022, 4 2023, so where is 5 and 6? Where is our double event?
It's possible we may be catching sight of the first shy movements towards a pivot to robotics:

Both developer kits, because it's always a maybe the clients will figure something out type of business model these days.
