Despite the common plan for many browsers to include their own local model, I feel nobody is really promoting a practical workflow for in-browser LLM side-usage. It's a good time to explore designs like this.
"It’s about what you’re deliberately choosing not to build and why you’re making that choice"
This is a salient line. Whatever else strategy is, it ends up a suppressor or enabler of team innovation.
As to pushback, I agree with you. As long as it doesn't unsettle the balance between an owner with vision and a nihilistic stasis, where everything new gets shot down.
At a fundamental level, our society works by giving the corporate spokesperson credit for everything thought up or done in their organization. Really, credit for a whole lotta other claims too. CEOs and spokespeople are more brand avatars with megaphones, than actual people dealing in fact. Unfortunately this setup confuses hero worshippers.
This morning published a design manifesto for the Co-Wiki — a wiki-based warm storage layer that sits between LLM context windows and vector DBs, designed for human-agent co-authorship. The architecture solves chat hell, RAG chunking failures, and the missing second brain infrastructure in one brutally simple design. I'm a long-time SW architect who moved to epistemology. I’m too busy to go back to building — the design is complete, documented, and open. First to ship owns the category.
The success locating large numbers of vulnerabilities with agentic pen testing and the recent industry product strategy of auto-feeding them directly into protection side products (e.g. HiddenLayer, Calypso) may make individual exploits a commodity.
I think it’ll probably be a numbers game going forward. Who knows how long a zero day lasts? Black hats will need to hoard exploits.
Agreed on AI limitations in originality, but the industry sucked at UIs for so long, my expectations are low. I’m just hoping for widespread use of models that take the viewpoints of newbs for UI testing.
When bicycles first came out people threw rocks at cyclists, claimed bikes lead to female immorality, social disorder, and health conditions like “bicycle face.” New things scare people.
What a blast from the past. You have to take yourself back in the ol' time-machine to remember that 2019 mindset. People were probably still reeling from a few years prior when the Microsoft Tay bot made news for soiling twitter with naughty tweets.
There's perception of value in the quirky outliers, and there's liking a trendy cow, in the herd-mindset signaling kind of way. We definitely have both style of aficionados, each could be said to be appreciating a different kind of taste.
