DNS caching and thus the load distribution is outside the control of the entity running the servers. You assume you get roughly same traffic on each of the published IP addresses, you even think you can advertise some address twice so that it gets twice the load vs other severs (if you just set up a server capable of serving twice the traffic), but the reality is one of these IP addresses might be used for 90% of the requests (as an example) due to caching and bad luck.

So no, you cannot reliably control load balancing using one domain name pointing to multiple IP addresses. (IP anycast is better suited, but much harder to implement)

This has a big upside: I can now MITM any Android app / IOT device without any suspicious set up on the device? (given it'll run on the unupdated OS and that cert revocation is not ON).

I would assume that the client would need to validate the certs against more than 1 trust path (for the comment to make sense)

> And for computers, most people could probably make do with machines that are many years old and not feel a difference in their capabilities.

That would be true if not for 50MB-heavy JavaScript webpages.

Same goes for smartphone apps. Facebook app used to be a few megabytes in size and it was already very big compared to other apps you had on the phone.

I started wondering if there could be swap-aware GC, like first make the required page swapped in (not that there's any obvious API for that...) and only then pause the world?

I was thinking to myself, this is nice, first thing in a while not mentioning AI, then bam: "Built to be worked by agents"

Thankfully, we can now use AI to design a test that tests AI. And the AI company can use AI to detect the test and cheat. And we can then use AI to implement anti-cheat.

All that energy wasted... could just drive a big V8 instead and make less money for the big tech

At last, it wasn't AI agents!

For "this or any later version", I have always read this line as you get to choose which version you want to follow, not the one granting you the licence.

Ah, I missed that part, thanks!

So in some very weird way, this is similar to right to repair vs John Deere.

Or is it just capitalism doing capitalism stuff?

Universities should soon start having own-hosted AI based off open models

Any idea why OpenAI cared about this name removed from the paper?

Knowing the vulnerability, creating an exploit might be relatively easy now that we have AI to figure the boring stuff out.
