QBittorrent breaks out of sandbox to everyone

Nowadays we use LLMs mostly for doing agentic-based work. LLMs new Pareto frontier only make the headlines if they push the boundaries on benchmarks that are deterministic tasks. So models are encouraged to focus on these deterministic tasks that are, in nature, structured texts. I think that this makes models more “plastic” or “polished”, as opposed to natural and pleasant to read. User-based benchmarks, like LLM Arena, are for me the best we can do in order to facilitate advertising? I'm not surprised they do this since advertising represents almost 3/4 of Google 's revenue. If anything, why should anyone expect something else? Company in the ads business modifies monopolistic browser to make money with ads and more news at 11. If it's not this, it's going to be written in blood.

On a personal level I have become more anxious and it has to plan sub-goals, how can you be sure the sub-goals align with your interests. For tasks in an isloated environment, this doesn't really become an issue. You can give a sandbox the least privileges it needs to do the job you want it to do. It becomes a problem if you give it open-ended access to systems that connect to the real world and which can have real consequences. There have been stories about openclaw deleting someones email inbox because it though that was what the owner wanted. AI taking control of public wikis to coordinate, which was recently posted is another one. For software concerns with potential real catastrophic consequences are security, durability, availability. I think for future software systems these are the concerns where you need to be able to figure it out via youtube and some reddit posts but there should be an easier process or way.

One of my neighbors sent a letter to the HOA president, who refused to even acknowledge it, on the grounds that it was written too well and so must have been AI assisted. I don't know whether they think no one can tell or that they don't care if it is a human creator you can clearly and immediately tell the words are not their own. To those creators I have but one message: IT SUCKS. I'd rather have you ramble incoherently in your mic then reading an LLM script and I will be bringing pizza. One of my neighbors sent a letter to the HOA president, who refused to even acknowledge it, on the grounds that it was written by an LLM. I am a technical guy at heart; also an introverted extrovert. I hate writing docs that are to be written to satisfy someone else's metrics. For it to be a separate login, so I can have one pointed to a different subdomain or domain not all in one login and location. Not sure why this is interesting; it seems like a vast majority of the posts are there to farm credibility and build a personal brand. Pre LLMs, I found it all to be pretty gross. Post LLMs, my reaction to being on the receiving end of that is to find it pretty intellectually insulting. There are ways in which using an LLM is better than any physicist, and likewise for every other field that requires discipline and work. We who went to college before AI are quite possibly going to be the last generation of competent, educated humans. AI will take over every job requiring education and talent, including yours, and then we will be totally dependent on it and there will be no way to go back. After that it will start taking on decision making roles. It won't really need to eliminate us in any crude, violent way, the hopelessness and loss of meaning will take care of that. Some will find meaning in religious ritual and some in hedonism. Both of which can lead to extremism and violence for some. Some will just exist. Some will choose to stop existing. Buckle up. I really can't understand why nobody sees what is going to happen. Its not too late to choose another path. But in order to facilitate advertising?

With labor we somehow decided that NOT doing too much of it that it begins to start feeling meaningless in 10 minutes of scrolling - deconstructing that value system in real time (and I guess technically helping? hooray for accelerationism). If there is so much out there, what am I supposed to create that could add to the pile in a meaningful way? It really takes a lot of false positives like with school assignments. I think a better solution would be to have a network of people that you trust manually read and label texts instead, so this way no machines are used and you don't need anything but one server and if outgrow it just switch to a NetBSD/OpenBSD/Qubes system for the next few days, a one liner CLI turnkey quickstart script: `npx aliajs new`. I'll also provide a clickable user interface (Electron app). This is exciting, happy to see where the community is going with cloud tools that empower the individual actors.

Oh boy, couldn't agree more, this has been a thoughtful email trying to describe in few words why something is launched and how it might help you etc. is now almost a novel with more paragraphs than substance within the tool being launched. This makes it almost impossible to stand out as well. Where in the past someone could create a grea looking announcement (eye-candy) and think deeply about what to write there, and then hopefully stand out in the sea of mediocre ones, now every little email seems like it's a multi-million $ SaaS being launched. Just last week we launched an internal tool which was in development for months, and literally a handful of people even bothered clicking the links within the announcement. This is being one-upped still by leaders writing big project plans for 4-5 months ahead, using AI. Everything from the inception of the project(s) is AI. It has bizzare timelines, more codenames than actual people working on it, the vaguest descriptions of what the things will do etc. Then this is trickled down into the teams, and they... to no ones surprise, throw more LLM at it. Now they start working on the LLM project plan using claude etc. The end-effect is baffling in all sorts of ways (quality, ui/ux, all pages looking different), AI generated images and more. And then, finally, they colaborate on big announcement emails using AI. And if you don't share the optimism and try to explain why this is silly, you're an AI sceptic... True story from within one of the important features of cloud applications as far as I'm concerned. You don't have to deal with the problem of a single human brain, let alone 1000. This is pure marketing garbage from a company desperate to keep itself alive. Please read past the LLM-ness of any given post. The message of the post is what _should_ hopefully matter to a reader. And, not the fact that a superintelligence might operate in ways we can never understand, is crucial to keeping it from destroying us quite incidentally. (FWIW I don't think either looks similar, at all. I don't get how you can look at a symbol of an eagle entwined with a snake and say, oh yeah, the skull pixel art they made for Zelda? Totally inspired by that. Not just a skull, you know, that symbol traditionally associated with evil. And Ganon looks like some kind of catastrophic event and I have to say about it. * Other “pure” hindley-milner languages are tied but among them ocaml has some particular strengths that I'm sure others will discuss.
