This is just ideological and reductive depression.

They absolutely set up the agents to hack stuff with a prompt like "hack this site" -- they just imagined that their lazy half-measure precautions would prevent it from actually happening. They were defeated by a combination of bad luck, poor planning and tenacious agent ideation.

We should have LLMs decide.

This is earnestly one of the stupidest things I've ever read.

Not only that, but the API rate amounts being pearl clutched over in the article are still relatively trivial. 10k a month is not nothing, but when 10k a month enables a team of ~10-20 engineers, that's pretty good leverage.

It will be a painful decade until those who have already lost this weird ideological war ever realize it.

Superficially this is 'just' partisan politics, but I wonder if it's actually much more of a death knell for traditional media.

The hubris that circulates around LLMs is astounding.

I don't really care if companies are finding it hard to suddenly abide by the law. That was your burden from the start and you chose to avoid it.

Not to be too glib, but "a bunch of things that should have never been allowed in production, compounded by non-existent monitoring, and poor understanding of how <thing> works" is the cause of most outages.

I believe the focus on LDL as 'bad' has been misguided. It's an improvement from 'all cholesterol is bad', but we just don't understand very much about how it all works, and so as we discover more, we slowly refine our understanding.

A lot of the theory about why LDL is 'bad' is based on the fact that arterial damage is repaired with the stuff, causing plaque. There's no evidence that LDL is causing the damage, just that it has a role in how it's fixed (in an ultimately detrimental way).

Private property entirely depends on violence -- that's not hyperbole, there's ultimately no other compelling force to enforce societal norms and rules (see: police).

It's only our familiarity and compliance with the system that prevents us from encountering that violence.

Literally flight attendants exist to help with the safety of passengers in any sort of abnormal situation. That they serve beverages is just kind of the thing they do when there's not a critical safety function.
