I reposted this as it wasn't clear from previous comments with this URL that there's a patch that's worth running in there from Apple themselves

Here's what apple (themselves) recommends to patch: https://support.apple.com/en-us/149555

Pretty much every developer on mac should probably run their patch.

So, uh, isn’t the blast radius huge here? Like ticking time bomb for unpatched servers huge once someone figures out how to craft their br payload just right?

Browsers were patched back in March, but if you can get anything else that is unpatched to decode br, and most HTTP clients do by default, and you’ve figured out the right payload (yes not easy, but still), isn’t this, well, really bad? Like Heartbleed big?

He is a bit more of a PR person rage-farming disguised as a futurist. He's not optimizing for correct predictions. That's really hard and not his incentive.

Look at his incentives. It makes more sense.

Not always planned obsolescence. Good ol' "only the cheapest survive" plays a role, too.

You're wiring up a number of critical systems... and prompt injection here could be really bad. I worry about such systems with a single point of contact

Just going to say it... no mention of handling the security aspects of this. Scary.

This is cool, I should say, but I would be really worried about the security aspects. Prompt injection here could be really painful.

Really liked this. Made me laugh even if not intentionally funny.

Also, given how markets and news cycles are moved with words not actions these days, I really like this site.

There are still so many misaligned interests; this is a much tougher situation that may get some local stability for a period, but will likely return to chaos again.

Anyone use fly.io sprites for this yet?

Uh... i think Graphite (yay, stacking!) uses the API pretty heavily.

My wife is my favorite editor. She's usually not available. LLM editor is fine.

Write it first, quick self edit, then have an LLM edit. Then I edit again. It's most definitely my voice, and I love it.

Certainly possible, but this is all possible and ABSOLUTELY worth having alignment discussions. Right. Now.

Are we going to end up with an army of Deckards hunting rogue agents down?

You may indeed have a licensing issue... but how is that going to be enforced? Given the shear amount of AI generated code coming down the pipes, how?

Regardless of the technical details of the weighting issue, this is an alignment problem we need to address. Otherwise, paperclip machine.
