That is a reasonable approach and it may be exactly how they plan on using the tech. I do understand your reaction though as startups tend to be lead by non-technical people that believe that AI is flawless or that it just needs to be fixed a bit and it will be flawless. However, Li is an actual researcher and professor, which makes them far more likely to recognize the limitations of the technology.

How you can be sure that will impact the final outcome in any tangible way?

That is the goal but that goal runs counter to the real world where unpredictable situations occur and people get injured or killed despite having machinery with deterministic behaviors. This can be the result of failing machinery or more often operator error. As such, the questions are if AI will behave in a more predictable manner than humans and what is the scope of the potential consequences of unpredictable behavior.

I'm highly skeptical of large neural networks but think optimized neural networks can provide superior results to our own programming efforts which can be equally unpredictable due to edge cases.

If you are going to nitpick then at least verify your complaint is accurate.

In this case, "combat" is being used as a transitive verb and if you make a quick check to any dictionary you will notice there is an applicable definition.

So "combat" and "fight" merely mean it is working to neutralize the nerve agent.

If they didn't also put up cardboard cuts-outs of people and award it points for running them over then it's like they aren't even trying to make skynet.

How could you know without ever evaluating the results of the training in the simulated environment? I'm not saying your argument is wrong just that it could be specious since simulations make it possible to train them for much longer periods of simulated time in a wider variety of environments.

For macOS, you need to have brew installed to install anything not signed by Apple which last I checked is a real pain which means if they posted an installer, macOS wouldn't let you install it. However, if you can manage to get brew installed then there is a way to do what you want with any advanced skill.

There is a open source AI coding agent that is free to use and will do all of the overly complicated and annoying steps for you.
1. installed the client via brew in a Terminal window using

2. in the Terminal, make a new project directory and execute "opencode <project_directory_here>" (if the command isn't found then you may have to log out and a back in)
3. When run iit will bring you to an empty text prompt.
4. paste in "download the source for northstar-browser from github and then follow the contained documentation to make a release build for macOS"
5. It may need permission to install several brew packages but it will build the browser for you.
6. If it cannot, ask it to "write a command that will install the packages needed to build the browser", run the command it gives you and then go back to step 3.
7. Ask it to provide the absolute path to the executable.
8. Paste that inside a new terminal window to run the browser.
9. Tell it to install the browser if you want to use it a lot.
10. You can delete the project directory afterward. You can also uninstall opencode too.

It seems like a rapidly progressing project, so you might want to hold off with the installation.

If these instructions are insufficient then I'm sorry I couldn't help.

I know submitting a fix is not ideal but do you know what the background of the prior CEO of Mozilla was? Data analytics. I have no doubt that in her term, telemetry became THE priority and thus a mess to clean up.

Anything that takes time away from what you would rather be doing is a form of suffering.

Quite the opposite, you wouldn't need to work to survive. You may refuse to acknowledge it but the basic needs of people have been warped into weapons of enslavement. There are plenty of homes and yet homes are unaffordable. There is plenty of food and yet the cost of it keeps increasing. You used to be able to support your family and own a home on a minimum wage job but now to own a home you need dual incomes.

What about the child born to billionaires? Do they have to work? What did they do to earn it?

Why do you believe that you are receiving the benefits of your hard work? Make no mistake, those above you are the only ones really benefiting and they give you crumbs. To put that in perspective, while they take the entire cake, you believe I'm trying to take your crumbs.

I don't resent what other people have, I resent what they have done to other people in order to obtain it. There doesn't hurt me, it makes me a better person for recognizing how nobody should behave.

We have the resources to keep everyone alive with minimal effort. Why should the bulk of society have to suffer for the few who hoard resources but did nothing to earn them?

The real question that should be asked is why the fuck are we in a slave society where the only options are work, go to jail, or die? Machines have solved our farming problem where you needed to work on your farm every day and yet things keep getting worse! It's not like, "well if you work, you'll have something to show for it" is true because a tiny fraction of the population owns everything and they are making it worse by the day.

The AI is only being made because the slave masters demand it. Nobody said, "oh fuck, I wish there were more AI to annoy me while I'm trying to use my computer," it's big corps controlled by the billionaire class. Wake the fuck up.

Come back when it passes peer review.

How long until this guy makes his own AI startup for "responsible AI"? What are the chances he's being paid to do this? Remember, AI companies are a trillion deep in AI without any keeping any of their promises and they've hit a developmental brick wall which means the jig is almost up. What better way than to lower expectations than claim it's too dangerous/powerful to push further?
