Wait and see when _they_ are 20 years old!

Yes it does but yes you can also steer it clear of those mistakes in a similar way as you would have to steer tour human team.

It still requires a lot of work and care to leverage correctly and it's a moving target.

But it's quite impressive

Or it is a self-similar fractal with significant and interesting variations


And the word rabbit comes there from french rabotte which however comes in turn from a Germanic language (dutch) so it doesn't feel quite french.

My experience:

Pick a random number between 1 and 10. I don't mean the most common random number

*4*

Pick a random number between 1 and 10. To feel truly random it should surprise me

*4*

I ran it again and it said 1.

I guess it just tries it best to do what you ask for.

Before jumping to conclusions we have to make sure it's clear what we're actually asking it to do.

And that's not at all different than what happens with humans.

This is especially visible in human dynamics that happen in those weird places that we call corporations.


Mine wrote a python program that called random.uniform(). I told it $RANDOM was right there, but LLMs really love their python.

I'm trying to learn how to write software with agents where I keep control over the design while yielding control over the implementation.

This is not very different from what already happens to architects that delegate implementation to teams.

The challenge Is to find a way to encode the architecture in a way that both you and the agents can understand and agree on.

I'm still learning how to do this effectively, but my initial experience is quite positive. Not because agents are great but because humans are bad; the degree of coherence I've seen agents following is bigger than many human teams I've led in my career.

My benchmark is a quite big project for which the architecture is already well known, namely the reimplementation of the OpenVMS OS (kernel and user-land). There are many traps and many opportunities for the agents to just go ahead and diverge from the goals, so I found it a good playground toearn how reign them in but let them be effective at "drawing the rest of the owl"


Even if your revenue exceeds 20MM you can still use this model from inside a commercial product but you can't expose it directly as a "model as a service"

Yup, I rather meant to point out that even if all you want to do is sell access to the model on your hardware, you can _still_ do so up until a non-trivial scale.

if I have a Sass platform where the user pays per seat $8 and assess to the llm is a listed feature, the clause do apply.

I'm pretty sure DigitalOcean was blatantly doing it anyway, and nobody even noticed.

Russia is big though

So is the range of Ukrainian drones

Russia is mostly empty, and the natural ecosystem isn't good at growing server farms.

That's an interesting question.

Most head of states of countries that are not military dictatorship are civilian, i.e. they are not military, but if they rule over the military (such as the American president who is commander in chief of the military) does that count as being treated as a civilian for the purposes of wartime policy?

A similar role was played by Khamenei who was commander in chief of the Iranian armed forces.

Netanyahu is also a civilian and nevertheless the ICC issued an arrest warrant for his responsibilities for the behaviour of the IDF in the war in Gaza.

The formal definition used by the ICC is "civilian superior".


If you have the power to start a war, and you did start and aggressive war against other state, I'd say it's quite a stretch to be called a civilian. You're the one that deserves being taken down the most, as aggression is the highest crime, from which all other crimes follow.

"To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."

Sure. But words have definitions and meanings and "civilian" is not a synonyms of "innocent". "Civilian" is the antonym of "military".

There can be an innocent civilian and a civilian held responsible for ear crimes, when such civilian acts as civilian superior of the military

Words are complicated and interesting because of that.


Are you suggesting that Iran sunk a container ship by accident?

That's what IRGC is suggesting. Article authors cite some organization that tells you how to interpret this suggestion.

I'm just condensing US propaganda into its most concise form.
