They aren't using Rust for speed.

The risk is compounding, so no, centuries is not on the table without fully swapping bodies.

You'll find similar documentation anytime a language or framework or other systems software ships a new major version. It doesn't seem like the way to prompt Opus has changed all that much. Certainly not enough to require a "totally different prompting technique."

Totally true. But the bottom line is that one of these things kills you and the other doesn't. That doesn't mean it's safe but I do think it is important not to imply they are equally harmful or that nicotine products are carcinogenic. Nicotine isn't carcinogenic and they are not in the same ballpark of harm.

Nicotine is not carcinogenic and neither are nicotine products like patches or gum. Nicotine products are distinct from tobacco products, and tobacco contains a lot more than nicotine, and that cocktail is both carcinogenic and more addictive. That's why nicotine products are used for nicotine cessation, they are strictly less harmful and easier to quit. (That doesn't make nicotine safe but it's in an entirely different league than tobacco. Nicotine products almost certainly won't be the reason you die, whereas tobacco products often are.)

> Interracial marriage has been allowed in many places (if not most places) throughout history, and even female suffrage was a thing in some polities.

You do understand that they were referring to the places it was disallowed? LGTBQ people and same sex marriage have also been tolerated in some times and places (even before the 70s).

I'm sure some people acclimate to it but if you give it a try I think you'll find first your throat will get burned, then you'll start to cough more and more, and eventually you'll throw up. And I think GP was suggesting that, beyond acclimating, there's also other demands on your time and you usually can't smoke through them all.

Obviously, and they deserve no credit for the bare minimum. But if you imagine them doing the opposite and not taking any steps to rectify the error, that would clearly be closer to a "coverup".

And if they had instead chosen to remain silent on the origin of the code, how would you have characterized their actions then?

Not sure what you're talking about. Playing games has been a research topic in AI for much longer than transformer models have existed.

We're so back

But it's at least plausible the person you're berating is responsible for the error.

That's interesting but raised the same question, why berate a machine? Either the agent is not a person, in which case, anything it does wrong is your fault. Or it is a person, it can be blamed for mistakes, but then we can't in good conscious use it as a tool.
