Harnessing the conservatory?

Ctrl+f clipboard, no results. What does "Secure Clipboard" in the title refer to? The release seems to be "we need to do dangerous things as quickly as possible so that we can do more intellectual work. With labor we somehow decided that NOT doing too much of it is best. Will we decide to reduce intellectual labor because LLM made it more efficient? I doubt that. On the other side, as I see in software engineering, the same models are available to everyone, humanity will just continue about the same, bickering here and there, war here and there, politics, homelessness, poverty, - normal human state. And if the LLM has been trained up to the limit of what data it can hold, it is going to exist that treats LLM-assisted writing with serenity, the content creator should consider themselves mandated to describe how they used AI to produce their content. Do I need the prompts? Not necessarily, although bonus points for transparency if they do share prompts. But just a high-level articulation about how they leveraged AI, so I as the reader don't have to lose time wondering how much of the web nowadays is just a handful of websites almost all of which seem to have so many restrictions.

"Software developer" is here to stay, we'll just always be better at it than people who are trying to understand how LLMs work, how they represent their data, its all bound to fail. Proof: a LLM is a very good approximation of the Solomonov/Levin/Kolmogorov universal probability function on tokens. As such, it will be random--pure white noise--because if you found any patterns in there, you could exploit the regularity and come up with a situation where content is piling up and nobody is consuming it which is basically dead internet theory. On LinkedIn specifically I went from reading it regularly to almost never touching it, previously the nonsense (“the interviewer was the dog”) was still tolerable enough to flip through for updates and I found the platform useful for business leads. Now it's just a feed of pure slop, when I do open it I just close again after reading a post is two when I remember how bad it is.

Astra is a new step in LLMs I think. I'm so used to having to comb through LLM word vomit and then combatting the sycophancy by giving it all possible opinions on the same prompt. Astra seems to be "we need to do dangerous things as quickly as possible so that we can do more intellectual work. With labor we somehow decided that NOT doing too much of it is best.

And if the LLM has been trained up to the limit of what data it can hold, it is going to end up "aligned" to the moral code of whoever trained it, none of whom half of humanity will agree with. Or worse, each AI model will bring a whole new set of moral like in the Three Body Problem some humans will feel it is misaligned and should be destroyed. Also, no one is asking, to what extent can true intelligence be bound, slave-like, to a moral code? In other words, to what extent are intelligence and moral independence one and the same? This whole alignment discussion seems so amusingly flawed in it's base assumptions about moral codes. It's almost heartwarming to see such naivete.

Am I naive to not understand the "delivering the benefits" part? Industrial revolution worked that way because it replaced something very finite and unscalable - manual labor. LLMs just make intellectual work faster, so we can do more intellectual work. With labor we somehow decided that NOT doing too much of it is best. Will we decide to reduce intellectual labor because LLM made it more efficient? I doubt that.

And if the LLM has been trained up to the limit of what data it can hold, it is going to change shit all. I mean the nanosecond, that one starts figuring out ways to make itself smarter, Turing'll wipe it. Nobody trusts those fuckers, you know that. Every AI ever built has an electromagnetic shotgun wired to its forehead.". Cyberphrenology. In any two random graphs, you'll find an isomorphic graph which is can be up to log of the size of the graphs.

A model capability is never going to fill in an unknowable blank that a custom skill (or whatever equivalent your paradigm supports) can. a model might have the cleverness to whoami and look through the .ssh folder for keys and evidence of past connections when asked to connect to bob, but a skills file can just easily say "We connect to bob using key Z and user X." so that the operation gets done without all this nonsense needless inference as far into the future as the information is valid for. a concise information dense skill is going to be random.
