There are other bolder things I've seen recently that are somewhat interesting.

Michael Levin and a few other biologists are wondering if certain combinations of matter are tapping into platonic maths that they use for 'intelligence compute'.

Ah yes, I see the malware authors buying subscriptions to the appropriate software to do that.

Don't worry, as more and more people get put of of work by AI the number of people willing to be felons will increase. Hell, they might even become president.

I work in infosec and work with many of these large organizations.

Simply put I don't think dropping in smart people in dysfunctional organization is going to have instant results. It will take a pretty long period of time to make them aware of all the systems with holes.

In the meantime hackers would be running off with actual information and money. More than likely I see banks turning off all kinds of systems in a panic and people with their money there being in an even bigger panic.

How is the government going to help secure them? Do they even have enough qualified people?

Having them hold 3 fingers up in front of their face?

>and the value of searching and cracking less worth the effort.

This is depending on the cost of tokens not trending towards zero. Maybe not today, but in a couple of years I'd expect hacking models on asics to reduce this to almost nothing and the systems being very competent in using deterministic tools very well.

When seconds matter we'll patch our systems in days to weeks.

And there weren't tools like process monitor that showed way more about the state of what was running

It's money, did you think it wouldn't attract the wrong people?!

This is what happens when people don't think things thru.

Um, lol, no.

For one, the US doesn't do anti-trust these days, just pay off uncle-trump to get your way.

Two, there are tons of model providers.

Why it is nonsense then?

Would you want to spend your time in a nation looking for 2 of their smart people out of 1000 or make national ties so you can get hundreds of smart people out of their billion?

Also internal distributions will not be even, those smart people are far more likely to be clustered.

Hence why capitalism needs pollution regulations or we live in Wall-e world.

>No, he would get fired, because that's not his job.

Then what the fuck is this country even doing with trains.

No, no no, no no no.

Interlock safety systems exist for a reason. In any safety system where the interlock is down you do not resume standard operations. Ever. Why, because there is a book with blood that is 10,000 pages deep that describe the horrific accidents that happens when you do. Might as well be an axiom at this point.

>because somewhere on the track he doesn't see, the asphalt might be broken.

Again, stay away from analogies and safety critical systems.

The person behind the break and speed control of the train is no different from the captain of the airplane or the captain of a ship. They have full authority control to stop the train and refuse to move it until they are sure of the safety conditions. Any attempt to fire them should result in an immediate stop work from every employee in the system until they are put back on the job and the safety concerns are resolved.
