This is the primary reason I've not given agents more power than something extremely controlled (I.e. only a function to turn on/off the lights). As I was always concerned that these generational models might accidentally do something dumb or annoying, let alone something that might be illegal or harmful.

I don't really see how anyone would ask AI to complete something completely autonomously at this stage, without oversight.

Why Signal is not in f-droid? Is there a statement from them about it? What I know is only in Google store . And talking to much about privacy and not being in a f-droid repo, is ironic

It's available on F-droid through the Guardian Project repo.

They also offered their .apk directly through their site with an included downloader last I checked, but I would love it to on f-droid

Add Guardian Project repo. It's there.

Thanks for posting this. I haven't heard her before. She knows her shit.

It will be interesting tracing accountability when AI does something less than legal while trying to implement a legal command.

hero material.

my family contributes $5 monthly to the signal foundation. consider doing the same if you are able.

the entire family uses it personally and for business so its among the best montly contribs we make.

That's an AI rendering of her likeness. ;-)

There are some things it would be nice to have a brain in a jar to do for me.

I do not, however, want that jar sitting in an Amazon-owned server room somewhere, where they can modify the jar to change how the brain works.


Take back your brain-in-a-jars from big tech! /j

I mean shes not wrong, but imagine I use this to do my bullshit day job so I can work on what I really want to. I would totally use this to get some rube to pay me for a job while I GameDev or something. Or at least some excel sheet monkey could probably do that I know these can't do my job.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

The problem being: Why pay you, if all they'd need is an AI agent?

Technology like this will not be used by the workers to prevent having to do bullshit jobs, it will be used by employers to prevent paying people.

In a world that lets everybody profit from the advances we make, that would be a good thing, but in the world I see us living in, that'll just grow the gap between poor and rich.

Oh my god I haven't seen Guy in years! He's such a wonderful guy (heh). I think our last interaction was on Google's G+. 😳

EDIT: Wow, that was a good panel.
