@holdenweb oh hey Steve, good to see you on here. Big respect for all your work in the Python community.

@mattblaze unlike word processors, it would only take a minute for a “rogue” agent to break out of its sandbox and trick Donald Trump into annihilating the planet with nukes. I am not sure how one would fix that problem aside from training agents on ethics.

And, yes, it’s fueled by greed but Pandora’s box is open. There is no going back.

@mattblaze yes, models are human controlled for sure, but whenever I think about the killing problem I’m not sure how else you could solve it aside from programming ethics into the model. There are just too many ways to kill 😂

You could, of course, limit access to all the killing things but then you’re left with no internet access and so on — too many limitations to be of use, probably 🤷

In any case, every “rogue” agent attack involved a sandbox breakout. Building the sandbox is not easy.
