This potentially can be a supply chain attack at a massive scale.

When you do not have a seat at the table, you are not in the game, and winning a game is an impossibility. As long as you are a player, it is remains an option, if perhaps not win it somehow, but at least drag it to a draw, or change the rules, or make a loss to be survivable.

Don't be evil.

It can be a win-win. Simply having a seat at the table can be a win.

The system in question is a distributed system, an interaction within that system such as "confession" involves ridiculous amounts of distributed processing, far beyond two nodes that were participating in that original exchange.

"Wero lets users send money using just a phone number — no IBAN, no card, no intermediary."

As long as all the other cards still get acceptance, this seems like a great system.

Right way of resisting is not to quit your job, but to observe, be friendly, and gradually push away toxic people.

The results are repeatable. Models are performing with predictable error rates on the tasks that these models had been trained and tested.

The default could be that a background upgrade should not be a foreground stress test.

Imagine you are driving a car and from time ro time, without any warning, it suddenly starts accelerating and decelerating aggressively. Your powertrain, engine, breaks are getting tear and wear, oh and at random that car also spins out and rolls, killing everyone inside (data loss).

This is roughly how current unattended upgrades work.

Is there a good reason why upgrades need to stress-test the whole system? Can't they go slowly, throttling resource usage to background levels?

They involve heavy CPU use, stress the whole system completely unnecessary, the system easily sees the highest temperature the device had ever seen during these stress tests. If during that strain something fails or gets corrupted, it's a system-level corruption...

Incidentally, Linux kernel upgrades are not better. During DKMS updates the CPU load skyrockets and then a reboot is always sketchy. There's no guarantee that something would not go wrong, a secure boot issue after a kernel upgrade in particular could be a nightmare.

I'm curious, where it has to be disclosed? Like if a company would pay a few legitimate reddit account owners to review their post and upvote, and would disclose this activity in the DISCLOSURES.txt available on their website, would that be legal?

Where would one find some reddit users willing to do such reviews, by the way?

There are still blatant failure modes, when models engage into clear sycophancy, rather than expressing enthusiasm, etc.

I'd guess, in practice a benchmark (like this vibesbench), that could help catching unhelpful and blatant sycophancy fails may help.

There is a nice essay from Paul Graham that starts with:

> The word "prig" isn't very common now, but if you look up the definition, it will sound familiar.

It's not a question of mimicking, it is interesting what is current within the teenage/student community. Adult population runs out of steam at some point.
