He is a bit more of a PR person rage-farming disguised as a futurist. He's not optimizing for correct predictions. That's really hard and not his incentive.

Look at his incentives. It makes more sense.

There are an even larger amount of people who have gotten tired of the NFT levels of pushiness AI has become from a financial perspective. It's become worse than crypto bros at this point.

Sometimes the thing being pushed as "the next big thing" is, in fact, the next big thing. Regardless of how annoying you find the push to be.

Push is fine, to the detriment of society and farcical levels of current usage is a bit of a problem.

I’m going to be so happy once these morons ipo. No point in running the ai spam accounts at that point.

Not always planned obsolescence. Good ol' "only the cheapest survive" plays a role, too.

Never heard that phrase. I think their point is the most cheaply made units aren't surviving into the future. They're just getting replaced often.

Unless perhaps it means only companies selling the cheapest are surviving. Which also doesn't seem broady true.

Maybe we can say "whoever sells the cheapest acceptable units survives".

Amazing nitpicking of the phrase, well done

A variation of Hanlon's Razor

Just going to say it... no mention of handling the security aspects of this. Scary.

This is cool, I should say, but I would be really worried about the security aspects. Prompt injection here could be really painful.

The article mentions that there’s an identification process and that at least some data has access control. What were you expecting?

You're wiring up a number of critical systems... and prompt injection here could be really bad. I worry about such systems with a single point of contact

Reading through it, I didn't see any mention of write access. It looks like the agent is strictly read-only with access controls.

Really liked this. Made me laugh even if not intentionally funny.

Also, given how markets and news cycles are moved with words not actions these days, I really like this site.

There are still so many misaligned interests; this is a much tougher situation that may get some local stability for a period, but will likely return to chaos again.

It’s worth remembering that the chaos is fully coming from America and Israel. The great satan indeed.

Anyone use fly.io sprites for this yet?

Plan on wrapping other sandbox providers besides e2b, modal... hence the name cloudrouter!

Uh... i think Graphite (yay, stacking!) uses the API pretty heavily.

yep we do! another big use case for it seems to be big enterprises for their own internal tools - we see this a lot with our largest customers.

but the OSS use case described here is a pretty different case, what OP suggested may still be useful there

Certainly possible, but this is all possible and ABSOLUTELY worth having alignment discussions. Right. Now.

Are we going to end up with an army of Deckards hunting rogue agents down?

We had the War on Drugs and the War on Terrorism, both of which went oh so well that next we’re trying it a third time: War on Agents!

I’ve been thinking of adding a Certifications section to my resume that just has a date and “Voight Kampff Certified”

Maybe an army of Deckards hunting rogue humans down.

You mean agents running other agents down? :)

You may indeed have a licensing issue... but how is that going to be enforced? Given the shear amount of AI generated code coming down the pipes, how?

I doubt it will be enforced at scale. But, if someone with power has a beef with you, it can use an agent to search dirt about you and after sue you for whatever reason like copyright violation.

It will be enforced by $BIGCORP suing $OPEN_SOURCE_MAINTAINER for more money than he's got, if the intent is to stop use of the code. Or by $BIGCORP suing users of the open source project, if the goal is to either make money or to stop the use of the project.

Those who lived through the SCO saga should be able to visualize how this could go.

If you were foolish enough to send your code to someone else's LLM service, they know exactly where you used their output.

If they wanted to, they could take that output and put you out of business because the output is not your IP, it can be used by anybody.

It will be enforced capriciously by people with more money than you and a court system that already prefers those with access and wealth.
