I would have though that by now they are all gone. Probably those left are the ones that stupidly painted themselves into a corner and never thought about exist strategies.

That ain't the same thing.

This thing is doing things you didn't tell it to. It might even do things you explicitly told it to not do. It is not a case of "well, you could've forseen this as a consequence if you had been careful" like your campfire. My example is only a bit silly, it is absolutely possible that an AI agent will decide to hack NASA because you asked it for some data for a school project. Even in the broadest possible sense, that does not fall into stuff that the law so far has considered to be in the domain of negliegence.

AI agents do stuff you could not possibly have expected. Heck, I asked Claude a fairly simple knowledge question yesterday and it wanted to read from /dev/null. There is no argument you can make that would convince a jury that I should in any way have expected that and taken precautions. In a hypothetical world where a read from /dev/null randomly kills a puppy somewhere on the planet, I don't think I would've been convicted.

Tschernobyl blew up, no shutting down. TMI melted its core. Fukushima melted its core. Windscale had a burning graphite core. You were saying? Oh, right, you just claimed total crap.

You are arguing on the level of "you are holding it wrong". Pathetic and marks you as not very smart. Which, incidentally, makes you the primary LLM target group.

That is a nonsensical statement. One size does very much not have to fit all.

I would think that Teslas get stolen far less often because they are difficult to sell and difficult to turn into parts and, on top of that, you have to do a lot of work to disable all the electronics in there. Hence not an effect that would transfer to any external cameras.

Also, who would want a bad-quality space-NAZI car anyways?

The main problem is that the police does not really care about cars getting stolen.

I think you have a problem counting there. No, most hardware is NOT involved in booting.

For special-purpose, there are better things. For example, for teaching the Big Blue Button is quite a bit superior IMO. I have used it last semester with no issues at all. But it is not really suitable for more general use. For example, it requires you to schedule meetings and upload your slides before. That is fine for teaching, but does not work so well in many other situations. It also uses LibreOffice to convert PP slides to PDF, but since my teaching slides are LibreOffice anyways, I had zero problems.

That said, a Teams replacement does not have to be better. It just has to be about equal or not too much worse and it has to not be made by an US company or a company beholden to any other authoritarian regime.

People do not stop stealing cars because of cameras. But I guess Flock is desperate for some good press, so we get propaganda lies now.

Forget it. This person threw together what they mistake for a good spec of a browser and then asked Claude to build it. They do not have the skills to do any real work, LLM support or not. This whole thing is just yet another meaningless stunt that impresses the clueless.

That depends. For example, a Linux kernel basically clears everything out and does everything itself. Hence the drivers for most hardware can be taken from that. Also note that for booting you only need a small part of the "full range of modern hardware" to work and there are quite a few standardized interfaces for storage.

The only thing impressive here is the sheer undiluted stupidity of the approach and of the ones cheering for it. Like you.

You have no clue what you are talking about. Like so many incompetents that cheer for LLMs.

And if the browser is NOT secure, you have several times the problems. Your point?
