Peak programming is Visual C++ 6.0a. It even has it's own test suite, they were called "debuggers". You could even step through code line by line and watch variables!

Agreed. Office XP / Office 2003 were and still are Peak Office when it comes to stability and consistency.

GAPPS for everything else, lol

> > Sam et al warn us to take actions that will save them from bankruptcy

  > What bankruptcy-prevention actions are they asking for?

Dirty Sam wants regulations to stop LLM development before the open models overtake "Open"AI.

And this distracts from combatting the actual threat to humanity from the development of actual AGIs.

Zuck has a record of bad decisions.
I think we can assume he's wrong about this.

"There is a widespread feeling within these companies that they're stuck in a race that risks catastrophic consequences for everyone, but can't stop unless everyone agrees to at once, because if they do, then the least scrupulous player will just take over the AI space."

Yes.
But that threat is not from these companies' plateauing LLMs, it is from new, actual AGI AIs, that they would be stupid not to be working on.

Sam et al warn us to take actions that will save them from bankruptcy, meanwhile they are working on producing the real threat to humanity.
*That* is what must indeed be regulated as soon as possible, genius Trump's opposition notwithstanding.

If in doubt, don't trust Sam Altman.

Whereas the rest of us believe that Dirty Sam et al are only now faking concern because their LLMs cannot continue scaling at any speed for much longer and their business models are therefore fucked.

AGI will one day be a threat. LLMs aren't. Dirty Sam is a liar.

Glad your brilliant metrics have proven that C code safer.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world have moved on to actually safer code.

Yes, it is measurable:

In the next x months, how many security issues of what level are found in the old code using tool y vs How many are found in the new code.

People here are showing their ignorance. Disappointing.

LMAO: Law Maintenance And Operations
ROFL: Regional Operations & Field Liaison
GTFO: General Transport & Fugitive Operations

"loads of new security issues and loads of incompatibility with edge case usage."

That is measurable, so it will be easy to see if what you say is true or not, and therefore whether this should be repeated for other code.

So the F students become ICE agents?

You hit the nail on the head. Looking up license plates SHOULD requires a WARRANT, signed by a Judge. That would greatly decrease the abuse of the system. Go ahead, try to get a judge to sign off on you tracking your ex's whereabouts, I'll wait...

Isn't any query of the Flock database for a license plate a SEARCH, which as I undestand the Constitution should requires a WARRANT?
