Indeed, I agree that it's better to have the control systems separate from the telemetry systems and that absolutely does prevent certain types of attack. It's dangerous to think that prevents all types of attack,…
Yes, this is exactly the kind of approach I'm referring to when I say it's possible (though not trivial to implement), but it still doesn't prevent attacks. Air France 447 crashed with extraordinary loss of life because…
Sure, but as stated in reply to a sibling comment, you then just hack the read-only system to mis-report sensor state and interfere with operations that way instead. Or use one of a million other approaches. Attacks…
Sure, but think through the details. There are ways to expose telemetry through an otherwise air gapped system, but it is actually not easy to implement correctly. My position is that if there's any connection, of any…
> The laptop class doesn't always grok that the shift-work labor class ... I think it's more than this. Industrial control system upgrades are serious business and (at least if you're doing them properly) require a lot…
How does this actually work, in practice? If you have read access to sensors, then there's a non-air-gapped network between the control systems and the internet. If your network isn't air gapped, then it's vulnerable,…
"Simply"? You might as well say exactly the same thing about creating a doomsday virus.
Most of us effectively function as next-token predictors, in my experience. Some of us are trained not to dereference null pointers, but there's always a non-zero probability that we do so anyway. To reduce that risk I…
The study looks at forms of AI that have existed for a long time, as well as newer LLMs. From the article: "Their dataset included 41.3 million English-language papers published between 1980 and 2025 in ..." Earlier…
I'm genuinely curious how you think we should avoid it? If I had to buy a household appliance tomorrow, or a new car, I cannot think of a single company I'd feel safe purchasing from.
There are many beautiful parks and it's wonderful to spend time in them. But at some point you have to return to domesticity, and if you can't live that part of your life without being repeatedly screwed over by greedy…
What do you do when the expensive options are also junk? Relatively few manufacturers actually focus on quality today.
> you're trying to compete with millions of square miles of naturally sun-lit dirt You're begging the question with this statement. Indoor growing is used when you don't have access to this kind of resource. There are…
There currently isn't a effective treatment for varroa that doesn't also kill the hive. It is not a solved problem, and there is certainly room for more research in this space.
I agree with your point, but to play devils advocate: doesn't a competitor arguably need access to these beyond-frontier models to even become an effective competitor to OpenAI and Anthropic?
I'm not sure what you think I'm saying, but in case it needs clarifying, it is not that Apple should have built fabs 3.5 years ago, or today, or at any other point in time. What I did say is that in a hypothetical world…
Isn't one of the points of the article that memory manufacturers leave demand unmet for their own financial safety? In which case, nobody (including Apple) is paying close to manufacturing costs. There isn't enough…
A world where Apple has invested in their own fabs, so they can sell devices with drastically more RAM than their competition at entry-level prices.
I think your comment about inventing new words is an interesting one. One of the things that I believe limits our ability to discover new ideas is our ability to describe related concepts. For example, the reason we…
I'm not making a circular argument, nor one based on legality. You explicitly changed your example to use "public domain" content, and ignoring the legal specifics of that it's clear that's a separate category of…
If AI turns out to be a bust, ignoring it could become a significant win. One possible outcome of AI adoption is that existing code bases are degraded, and existing programmer capability is allowed to atrophy. In that…
Your examples, as you say, are all public domain. Are all the works we train LLMs on public domain too? Was the original book in my analogy in the public domain? What do you think about training on material that isn't…
A better analogy would be that you do original research or work and produce a valuable book. Somebody else looks at your work, decides it has value, and reproduces it in a new book under their name. The new book is…
What kind of work are you applying Opus and other LLMs to? I'm quite curious to understand how other people are using these tools. At the moment neither Opus nor any open weights models seem to be capable of doing…
No one at my company cares about OpenClaw either. We do care that we can be billed unexpectedly (either usage quota immediately being consumed, or being charged additional costs), generally with zero recourse, because a…
