Unfortunately llms are very good at creative hacks that undermine the whole design. I've caught it on the act multiple times. But I'm sure my code base by now is understandable at the surface level, but underneath I don't really know how it's doing it. Even if I have a reasonable understanding of what. If you're a manager and don't understand how, you can rely on your engineers to know it. When you're an engineer and you don't know how. It means no one knows.

In practical terms it probably doesn't matter. But it's still an unsettling feeling.

My friends and I didn't have hard drives. But maybe we were just poor. But fair, you could infect another disk if you just switched disks. No need to have both connected at the same time.

Even then, what would that accomplish in most systems? That same disk would most likely be the only permanent storage available to the system when it's inserted. Maybe if you've got two drives and have two floppies inserted at the same time?

If it gets outdated they can review their policy. Right now it is sensible. We're at early ages of this type of AI and we don't know what the end game will be.

Someone forking it and makeing it better with AI is a possibility. If that happens will know it was better for the project for the maintainers to just review the code. If that happens, they can probably become maintainers in the fork. Or maybe they don't like that work and could just go do something else

Google is an advertisement company at the end of the day and that's a conflict of interest with user privacy.

I thought Ubuntu did that, but not Debian. Still, that's very different than what the author mentioned

I don't know if I want to create an ad-hoc list of permissions. What I would like would be something like take a snapshot of my current workspace in a VM. Run claude there and let it go wild. After the end of the session, kill the box. The only downside is potentially syncing the claude sessions/projects. But I don't think that'd be too difficult.

Ask the agent to bubblewrap itself

In the UK we move forward at 1am and they go backward at 2am. Doing it at midnight adds the extra complexity that now the day is different. Doing it in the early morning doesn't change the day.

My guess is that in the US they do the same but shifted by one.

It's hard to pin point what creativity is. But in your example, the more creative thing was really coming up with the scenario of pigeons selling balconies as real state. What followed was just applying usual tropes for that sort of joke on the subject matter. I feel like LLMs are not very good at coming up with something novel. I'm not even sure they are capable of that. It's not as if coming up with something novel is easy for humans either.

Existing is just a point in time

I rather commute than WFH. So yeah, people do. Maybe not all the people, but certainly some people.

They can't because they aren't, right? That's the whole point of having them not expiring. Until you used them, you can still get your money back in some situations.

Thinking about it a little more, those high-octane funny kids sound insufferable. This may actually just be Celine's way of telling the author she finds her annoying.

Also, most of us are about average.
