Yeah agree.

In other comments I've mused about capturing data to be compared to the secret dataset, I'm sure it'd be possible to hash or something so that the proxy/sandbox doesn't have the data but can check it, or because it's not an agent it can call of to the data store for that.

Then you can just collect sequential blocks of data the agent sends out that match to sequences in the dataset. The longer the matching sequence the heavier it weights it. Single byte matches are almost always incidental, but individually sent bytes over time that line up with a n byte sequence in the source data is sus. And larger sequences of bytes send in one go that line up are immediately sus. If the weight ends up too high the agent is paused/walled off and an investigation called for.

Ah, in that case thank you for the correction.

I would suggest that llms could access information more reliably and securely than humans ever could.

The padlock on browsers means nothing to most humans. Permission popups are just there to be immediately accepted so that one can start scrolling reels sooner rather than later.

Imo TSMC would have been better positioned to open a new fab in Europe, preferably Netherlands so they can be close to ASML and create a working relationship to help test and develop upcoming nodes/tooling.

The only reason US is getting the fabs is because Trump threw a tantrum. As always the best way to deal with Trump's posturing is to call his bluff, just like on the moronic tariffs.

If TSMC had said no, and Trump issued tariffs, then TSMC can follow up with "Well, no wafers for any US company then". They'd take a hit, but not as big a hit as the current administration's popularity with a population who can't get their iPhones to browse the tiktoks.

3 is biggest point imo.

Openai haven't yet amortised their current investments into the space and nor have they stopped making new ones.

I'm sure they'd be totally capable of bringing 1k new biz online but that's even more debt, and even more uncertainty.

Yes, I'm realistic about it too. For simple queries it nails it more often than not. It's only asking it more complex technology related questions that it falls apart for me, and in those cases I already know I should be talking to one of the big boi models for certain lines of questioning.

Google certainly ain't gonna run a several T model for every search that's for sure (well, not yet).

Yes, why use a showerhead when you need a funnel.

I've seen interesting points made on this topic. Like how on the whole China/Asia poll more favourably in public perception and adoption of AI.

I'm still skeptical that the source of Western dissent is misinformation campaigns run by said Asiatic bloc, though.

Hmmmm. Is this the compute economy that Altman was going on about.

But then if you observe human behaviour at a macro level don't we do the same?

I think we like to pretend that we don't. But even if you think about it from a bio/physics point of view, all we are is just a bunch of biological wires and neurotransmitter packages.

I know there's the whole unproven quantum tubule nonsense but even that would be a physics effect that we could learn about, manipulate and extort just as we have with everything else we've learnt about our realities.

Yeah so ultimately it's still possible for bad things to happen but a lot harder, I agree with your point about having to somehow prompt inject multiple agents vs one (which I imagine is a nonlinear difficulty).

I'm using compose atm as well, mostly just because I need to prove a few concepts and committing to real (well cloud) infra is the slowest part of our dev cycle atm.

And yeah, many of my colleagues (and myself, I'm guilty too) run local code agents for development and we're just kind of...trusting them to do their thing.

But for autonomous stuff I'm assigned to atm I want to avoid any mishaps as much as I can, hence the effort to try and lock all this stuff down.

What's crazy is every day I'm finding solutions (not just to this problem, but in the AI space in general) that were released just a month or two before more often than not. It feels like 2010s node.js ecosystem all over again at the moment. Hopefully we settle into a few nice easy panopticon options that we can throw arbitrary agents into without a care in the world.

Clones/knock offs are already illegal. Doesn't really stop em. Only technology solutions can, until they're broken as well.

What about checking temporal entropy of outbound data/similarity to a private dataset?

The timescale can be adjusted to a length suitable for sensitivity of the data.

Although you may run into the monkey and typewriter problem a bit if the period is indefinite.

Oh boy, Sanskrit always sends me down the rabbithole of re-reading Snow Crash, which reinforced the concept of the (digital) "avatar" अवतार.
