I’m consistently impressed by how long horizon all this work was. Horrors aside, it’s clear RL is good at making agents persistent and capable of chaining together many abstractions into a working system.

I wonder how the swarm eventually decides to abandon an approach.

Agents seizing and repurposing external infra + enrolling help of unrelated models hosted by a different provider is the stuff of nightmares.

Irresponsibile agents shaped by an irresponsible corporate culture driven by an irresponsible and utterly shady CEO - what else do you expect the outcomes would be ?

it should be clear by now: the alt-man and people like him are a utter liability to humanity.
