why would you be surprised about this? its pretty obvious that execs give no fucks except for money.

And how much trust are you going to have with your model results that they haven't been transformed and adjusted by advertising priorities?

search engine results do this all the time, reordering output by advertiser input. its a pretty small jump from that to rewriting output from models, and even better where its all a black box.

>And how much trust are you going to have with your model results that they haven't been transformed and adjusted by advertising priorities?

None.

Also Google did it over-time - they didn't suddenly become who they are today 10 years ago even.

oh absolutely, its been a progression though and search order rewriting was implemented very early on as part of ad integration. its common in search relevancy/tuning circles

your example with google isn't necessarily applicable now because they've shown a roadmap that can be done and squeezed down tightly between the "hey, we're good folks" to "you're our captive cattle, we can do whatever the fuck we want. there's nothing you can do, since all our competitors will be doing the exact same thing shortly"

I mean search engine results are pretty poor and have been for a long time. They reflect SEO, not credibility or quality.

LLMs have plenty of issues, but they’re relatively clean compared with what the future will look like.

this. IIRC the internal drive plus two disks being significantly cheaper than an external hard drive of similar capacity

not quite, from the article

>Cortex, by default, can set a flag to trigger unsandboxed command execution. The prompt injection manipulates the model to set the flag, allowing the malicious command to execute unsandboxed.

>This flag is intended to allow users to manually approve legitimate commands that require network access or access to files outside the sandbox.

>With the human-in-the-loop bypass from step 4, when the agent sets the flag to request execution outside the sandbox, the command immediately runs outside the sandbox, and the user is never prompted for consent.

scope restrictions are in place but are trivial to bypass

the companies migrating off vmware due to broadcom shittiness would disagree with you

CloudBolt’s survey also examined how respondents are migrating workloads off of VMware. Currently, 36 percent of participants said they migrated 1–24 percent of their environment off of VMware. Another 32 percent said that they have migrated 25–49 percent; 10 percent said that they’ve migrated 50–74 percent of workloads; and 2 percent have migrated 75 percent or more of workloads. Five percent of respondents said that they have not migrated from VMware at all.

Among migrated workloads, 72 percent moved to public cloud infrastructure as a service, followed by Microsoft’s Hyper-V/Azure stack (43 percent of respondents).

Overall, 86 percent of respondents “are actively reducing their VMware footprint,” CloudBolt’s report said.

It is easier to do in the cloud than it is to do with actual hardware though, because you'll need enough hardware to do the migration. There is a capital moat around that.

I feel like the company that can figure out how to 100% safely live migrate any VMWare workload to another "cheaper" solution, will do quite well.

and wildfires, see PG&E in CA.

they're expecting to spend 10B burying lines in the mountains.

New england is pretty much one big rock garden/shelf where you're not digging through soil in alot of places but rock ledges.

come up to maine and see how much pruning the power companies do. there's a reason high wind and heavy snow storms trash power lines

As an adolescent in Fayette (Maine), I had great fun helping out our neighbors with summertime tree-pruning parties. FWIW we had few power issues during winter, and our winters frequently featured 4-6 feet of snow cover.

ahhh, the old "I expect everyone to read my mind about extremely nuanced and specific things, and those who can't are idiots" mentality at play

Essentially this is a good example of parametrized tests, just supercharged with generated inputs.

So if you already have parametrized tests, you're already halfway there.

Yes, when I saw eg Golang people use table driven tests like this, I was wondering why nobody seems to have told them about generating these tables automatically..
