Why not have a kind of meta morality framework for agents? An agentic religion if you would. I think its pretty apparent at this point. The fact were even having a conversation about this is a much deeper situation than most people realize.

Probably have it do 10 trivial for AI but hard for people tasks within a small time frame.

The part people are missing here is that if the trading firms are all doing something, that in itself influences the market.

If they are all giving the LLMs money to invest and the AIs generally buy the same group of stocks, those stocks will go up. As more people attempt the strategy it infuses fresh capital and more importantly signaling to the trading firms there are inflows to these stocks. I think its probably a reflexive loop at this point.

I always thought it would be interesting in backend systems to catch a certain exceptions and auto-generate a link to a shell. Given the proper authentication is implemented would this be a good tool to achieve that "remote debug" shell?

Now that we have real time brain scanning techniques I bet there is something way more accurate than a polygraph out there now.

This problem statement was actually where the idea for Proof of Work (aka mining) in bitcoin came from. It evolved out of the idea of requiring a computational proof of work for sending an email via cypherpunk remailers as a way of fighting spam. The idea being only a legitimate or determined sender would put in the "proof of work" to use the remailer.

I wonder how it would look if open source projects required $5 to submit a PR or ticket and then paid out a bounty to the successful or at least reasonable PRs. Essentially a "paid proof of legitimacy".

If you could, theoretically, make a LLM that could actually excel at poker would that mean that it is good at lying to people?

Sorry I meant the systems we built not the interview itself.

It's been 10 years since I did an interview and I think I would rather retire and grow rare lizards than jump through the interview hoops at a new company. I am 90% sure I couldn't pass the interview for my current position but I'm the one who designed the whole thing. -staff level backend engineer

Is there a way to actually "own" your domain instead of paying registration fees every year?

+1 for Voron project. I recommend first time builders to get a reputable Voron kit, you will save a lot of time creating wiring harnesses and such.

Is it actually even illegal to crash a plane on purpose? Plane companies do this all the time for testing purposes, albeit in a controlled manner.
