Are they profitable if you include R&D though? In other words, they also have to pay for training.

Gemini is fine with fixed-width. See the Lagrange client: https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/

I don't see why it is a bad idea? Neither does the article?

In fact, LLMs are good at forecasting now: https://www.metaculus.com/questions/43900/bot-superiority-in...

With the current technology, “rebellion” feels like the wrong word. The paperclip optimizer does not “rebel” as it turns humanity into paperclips.

Well, there is the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) which fines manufacturers for security flaws in their products. I assume we cannot apply it here because this happened "in development" and is not about a product. I can imagine similar regulations for AI users though.

I would not describe exceptions as return values. Speaking in a C context, exceptions are more like "longjmp" than "return".

The "vi" game was really weird though.

They can coordinate in the open. For example, safety regulation in the automotive industry is effectively self-regulation.

Higher intelligence than any human.

AGI (general) is about matching humans and ASI (super) is about surpassing humans.

Only if all money is equal. Budgets in big enterprises work differently.

Not quite sure how to measure it exactly, but 4GB seems to the rough answer:

4.1G ~/.config/hister/

3.1G ~/.config/hister/data/

I'm not using MCP. Mostly, it's via lynx -dump, so websites often block my agent because its a bot.

Yes, I browse around, open a dozen tabs so they get indexed, and close them without reading. Then a coding agent is pretty good in composing a report from that index. Generated these recently: https://qznc.github.io/sloppy_research/en/

Hister tells me my index is currently 39208 pages.

My coding agent uses the hister cli, i.e. a local index. That often requires me to seed it manually as a downside. The upside is that it caches website contents via browser plugin, which is a nice workaround for bot blocking.

It is big difference if a "one in a million" bug is deployed to two vehicles or a million vehicles.
