@kumarvibe @holdenweb You seem to be suggesting that giving random software (or “AI agents” or whatever it’s called this week) with undefined behavior access to dangerous capabilities is somehow necessary for society to be able to function efficiently.
I think that’s ridiculous and indefensible. The fact that something has “AI” pixie dust doesn’t somehow cancel out basic principles of safety engineering.
DC is patrolled by a large number of specialized police departments.
One that I was not aware of until today is the National Zoo Police. You can imagine my severe disappointment when I saw that the patrol car was not being driven by a uniformed rabbit.
