This is exactly what the previous poster was talking about, these definitions are so circular and hand-wavey.

AI means "artificial intelligence", but since everyone started bastardizing the term for the sake of hype to mean anything related to LLMs and machine learning, we now use "AGI" instead to actually mean proper artificial intelligence. And now you're trying to say that AI + applying it generally = AGI. That's not what these things are supposed to mean, people just hear them thrown around so much that they forget what the actual definitions are.

AGI means a computer that can actually think and reason and have original thoughts like humans, and no I don't think it's feasible.

I sincerely hope you work on some random SaaS and not any software that actually matters, because this is how you get subtle dangerous bugs.

So it's a coinflip whether it's giving you correct information or something completely made up? And now you're not digging through the obscure manuals to actually verify? Seems objectively harmful.

This is an extremely bad faith reduction. It is a series of programming puzzles, not invent-the-universe problems, or paraphrase-problems-to-AI problems.

I do something similar, though I use the "defaults" as the starting point and add overrides in local files which aren't checked in. Something like this:

    # .dotfiles/.bashrc
    # shared baseline config...
    if [ -f ~/.bashrc.local ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc.local
    fi

Oh, I guess because of the recent comma.ai story. Seems a bit less blatant now that I realize that.

This is a bizarre and blatant attempt to yell over detractors with ancient PR. Why are people upvoting this?

That exists!

Seems like they're not the most immature one in this situation.

This honestly doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Maybe I'm naive, but email addresses aren't really private these days, it was limited to only fellow members of your workspace, and they were up front about the seemingly honest mistake. I've personally made worse mistakes.

Agreed on the formatting of mine being ridiculous with huge margins and line spacing, it wasn't my choice.

Very neat! Unfortunately can't get the `curl` example to work no matter what I do (on Arch Linux).

    $ pledge.com -p 'stdio rpath wpath cpath dpath flock tty recvfd fattr inet unix dns proc thread id exec' curl http://justine.lol/hello.txt
    curl: (6) getaddrinfo() thread failed to start
I tried following the Troubleshooting section and looking through strace output, but unfortunately I'm not sure what I'm looking for, I see a few EPERMs for calls that I don't know what they do: rseq, set_robust_list, and sysinfo to name a few.

Ha well the mechanization was a nontrivial amount of work (for me at least) and was considered part of it too. If it's still short despite that, then welp I guess I got lucky somehow.
