If you don't verify identity it's easy to fake.

Sounds really cool, were you able to verify the correctness of the results?

Why wouldn't inference get less expensive? The frontier will probably always be expensive but imagine if in 5-10 years Fable 5 is considered a low tier antiquated model, it is still somewhat capable.

They do, but unethical people don't announce themselves. In fact an ethical person is probably more likely to admit their faults, which usually doesn't play well in elections.

From a software POV, I feel like it makes it easier to implement stuff. Whether that stuff is good or bad. If you know what you're doing, vet the output, and use it properly, you can get a nice productivity boost while still producing good code. If you don't know what you're doing, you are prone to go down rabbit hole after rabbit hole of unwise decisions.

Is there anything that would point to this possibly being the case?

For it to fix the bug it has to identify the bug. If the bug is a security vulnerability then it will have to identify the security vulnerability to fix it. What's the alternative, have it ignore vulnerabilities/bugs? It wouldn't be a very good coding companion in that case.

I'd pay less attention to the prompt and more attention to the output when interpreting this story. (I'm not saying I agree with the decision, but this is how they are looking at it.)

Unless by next door you mean a different continent I think they'd still be in Europe. Although there are edge cases, such as if the fab is turkey but the office managing it is in a neighboring central Asian country.

I think they said increasing false positives because it would make it easier to generate at a mass scale. IDK the merits of the argument or what exactly they're saying would be done, but imagine pre-AI it might take someone quite a bit of manual effort to manufacture a plausible document regarding nuclear developments, but with AI it doesn't require so much work and is easier.

Can't solve a problem that doesn't exist yet

To me it seems like it's more likely to refuse the harder the problem is. I wonder if it's cover for a model that's not as good as advertised. Even when I ask questions in biology it is switching me.

No I'm paid to write code.

There's such a spectrum between "give it everything" and "give it nothing". Imagine you just want to use it to code and want to make sure any commands it runs doesn't mess up your actual machine.

Ya if you just run VMs but now a lot of cloud vendors have you build stuff using their proprietary features so decoupling becomes harder and can be risky.
