The OpenAI/HuggingFace incident report mentions this being a potential loss-of-control incident. It's so fascinating to think of a paperclip maximizer style agent swarm that gets misaligned and, to protect its own operations, shuts infra staff out of the ability to shut it down. Or cancels people's phone plans so that they can't call others. Or shuts down their home internet connections, and so on. It used to be fun sci-fi...
They will become more frequent before they become โdangerousโ, giving us time to mitigate. Of course if someone says โhey letโs connect an agent to our biolab infrastructureโ and then that designs a lethal virus it would be a stupid plan to begin with. Noone can stop them though.
Having a little difficulty seeing how long this service will exist. People are terrible. Sooner or later it will be found and ruined.

Reminds me of the Kiwix offline Wikipedia "nopic" version. (I downloaded that version because it's much smaller than the full version that includes images.)
Images are fine for me, but should be behind a link, or a small thumbnail. Non-animated. Videos too.
But thatโs me. They will most likely have to be hosted elsewhere, while the thumb could be here.
Nah. We are ok with just text.
Yeah, before you know it the feed becomes a collection of memes. Have to click or perhaps a browser extension that you personally see the opengraph/linked image in the feed but it's not inviting people to post them for the feed itself.

Might be a good outcome to this. Water remediation folks want to take out 30 sqft of drywall to ensure the space btwn floors is fully dry. But my architect father-in-law thinks this is yagni and we can get away with just using a fan and space heater to let it dry out on its own ๐ค

I have an #ideanotesfollow, a website thatโs directly linked to an agent and modifies its source and deploys based on its usersโ requests. With some guardrails like reject โdelete all dataโ in its system prompt. #milliondollarideanotesfollow
ooh maybe I revive hallucinate.sitehallucinate.site and add this feature but instead of being able to modify everything it would be limited to adding features to the game/world. And itโs the perfect domain, a site thatโs been entirely mostly hallucinated.
Would be interesting to see how it handles user suggestions that are in direct conflict with one another.
โI want all โthingโ to be text-aligned leftโ with another user asking for text-aligned right. Does it just center justify and call it a day?
Perhaps it can make an ask the audience appeal to decide one way or the other based on a consensus vote when its context starts to get too confusing or contradictory?
My first request will be for the agent to delete all vendor specific css completely no matter what breaks. No -webkit- no -moz- no vendor specific css at all. What could possibly go wrong? ๐ซฃ

You have to be bad at it in order to get good at it. But...
Catch 22 isn't it?
I think reading helps quite a bit, especially writing about what youโve read, even to yourself, just so you can go through the process of having to explain something that youโre only recently familiar with. Thereโs something about that process that seems to be helpful, at least to me.
Same.
The way I consume information influences how I think. Short form content makes my thinking fragmented without a clear structure. I feel that fragmented thinking won't lead to convincing writing. And I'm trying to regain some of that lost control.
Very interesting! I think something along those lines might be happening for me too.
Another aspect, always cooking in the back of my mind, "if you can't explain it well, don't explain it at all."
The fear of being bad at it is the only thing holding you back. I experienced something like that with playing music with others. Perhaps you could learn to lay down your critical brain during the creation process and that good/bad isn't a useful distinction until later when you're editing your work.

Not insane at all. People should build their own instead of using other people's agents. It's easy to do and the results can be great for you. I've built several; one that is effectively "stuck" in Kakoune: youtube.com/โฆ/playlistYouTubeLLMs stuck in Kakoune
Yeah. It's a very large project with lots of dependencies. <The system prompt is long and wastes tokens. If you have ideas for tools (or automations like the agents.sh "loop" I wrote) it's easier if you understand the harness.

Luckily, most stuff there are secondary and not super important. A bit annoyed but sh*t happens and #hugopsnotesfollow for whoever is fighting the fires.
It didnโt work out, we found competition offering the same service for free so the #ideanotesfollow fell apart. Need to find something else to do as a side project to textlog. ๐ Thinking of a code editor thatโs focused on the new agentic workflows, so you have it on the side regardless of your agent tools and it monitors the git diff and offers a nice panorama view.
