Yes "oversight and guardrails" are still needed, but even that is becoming easier to build, and imo already no longer in the "laborious" category. Even far from the frontier, you can tune a 0.2B LLM into a decent 2000 Elo player as a weekend project:

As shared in a sibling comment, you can get away with just curl+shell: https://paulw.tokyo/standalone-python-script-with-uv/

And with some small shebang trick, you don't even need to have uv installed [1], just curl and a posix shell

> threatening to start a new trade war if the EU doesn't permit their murdermobiles on the European roads
The strange part is that those car can be sold in the EU markets already. They just have to comply with the same pollution and safety standards as other cars. What would justify an exception?

> mostly because it's the scripting language of choice for PyTorch and AI-adjacent libraries/tooling/frameworks
I would politely disagree. Torch started in Lua, and switched to Python because of its already soaring popularity. Whatever drove Python's growth predates modern AI frameworks

Very much a side note, but:
> my feeling is that I’d still reach for it if my hands are really physically hurting, and I need to keep working. Usually once I reach the point where I’ve got blisters on my fingers I think it’s better to just take a break
I'm dumbfounded, and impressed in an unhealthy way. Do some of you regularly type so much that you develop blisters?

Hi Bryant, I'm quite interested in the senior software engineer role in the applied AI team!
On your job board I'm seeing slightly different infos about the location requirement. Can you clarify if the role is globally remote or US only?

Uv's support of inline metadata is super handy. What if the person running the scripts doesn't have uv yet though? For fun I wrote a double shebang script that will handle that too:
