So you hire more staff, and tell the new employees that they can ask you to call in a favor here and there from the retired folks that you made into millionaires.

It seems like a company could simply not let itself be transformed, but it never happens.
The developer of Minecraft did this. Later, he eventually sold it to Microsoft for like $2 Billion, if I recall correctly.
Yeah. When I was trying to cultivate this kind of mindfulness, I used my wristwatch.
Yeah. We’ve already seen this effect with WordPress and Android and Apache/Nginx. There was a day when I was weird for betting against MS IIS for web hosting, and people were sure the commercial Internet would remain proprietary forever.
(The most generous current estimate of IIS market share for Internet hosting is 3%, and that’s probably being extremely generous. A more likely number is under .5%.)
We saw companies try and fail to privatize HTML many (ActiveX, Flash, SilverLight, various versions of IE).
Open specifications always win.
If we decide to get shirts, they need to say “Stuff Posting System”.
Interesting stuff, but probably not huge news.
The AI guessing portion is currently playing on ultra-easy mode because there are only a few useful LLMs to compare to, and none of those have given serious thought to strongly securing their tech demo solution communications channel yet.
This is important work though, since someday someone might use an AI for something important and actually want to prevent eavesdropping.
I’m being a little unfair, but it’s early days and let’s try to not take ourselves too seriously just yet. If I’m trusting one of these LLMs with something deeply sensitive, it’s not eavesdropping that’s going to get me into deep shit, it’s the LLM’s hallucinations.
This is important research, though. Someday the AI will get good, and I’ll want to chat with it securely.
Thankfully, I suspect mitigation will be quite straightforward. Carefully designed small random changes to token handling should throw this approach way off, while not even being noticed by end users.
The habit of sending tokens right as they generate is a dumb sales gimmick that needs to go away anyway. So if security folks manage to kill it, good riddance.
We all love to party - especially you, hedonism-bot.
Oh! …oh…Oh!
Wow. I get it now.
Yeah. This has “there’s no shortage of air” Space Balls vibes, from the coral’s perspective.
I would fund a truly fair AI and a very gentle, but firm, self replicating robot army to enforce it’s benevolent will on everyone.
So basically SkyNet, after I make a pointer arithmetic mistake.
Bravo! May it live long and prosper!
Session 1 - revealing would break character, so I don’t need to hammer out the details yet.
Session 40 - well shit. I knew I was forgetting something.
Releasing a big crop of talent for indie studios to snap up …perhaps this is how to turn back the tide against indie studios cutting into their recurring revenue.
Your story is why I always donate my old matchbox cars and stuff that isn’t precious to me. It might bring maximum joy sitting on someone’s desk, rather than in a drawer I am ignoring.
Incidentally… https://mastodon.social/@elonjet is still going strong.
Haha. Fair point.
I agree there’s absolutely no obligation there.
After an unplanned $1,000,000.00+ bonus, I personally, will occasionally accept a phone-a-friend call.
Expecting quid-pro-quo is not the reason to pay out the bonus, of course.
But the world will be better when more people understand that generous leaders finish with more friends than tightwads do, and are proportionally more successful.
I say proportionally because most folks who didn’t have the foresight to be born into an emerald mining fortune still aren’t gonna start a flamethrower company for funsies, of course.
