I'm not suggesting a change, I'm suggesting a public discussion about a change.
What I see is one political faction who wants to convince everybody that their desired outcome was in the constitution all along and we're just misreading it. My suggestion is that, if that's really what the people want, then the current democratic process should be followed to amend the constitution in order to clarify whatever rule is unclear. There are good reasons in place for such changes to require a supermajority.
If a supermajority cannot be reached, then let's have a discussion and figure out how to make everybody's concerns heard.
But that's so completely against the current populistic climate where the most boisterous and outraging claims are rewarded; so I know this won't happen; but that's what I think _should_ happen.
If people really want to stop this kind of birth citizenship tourism they must vote for people who will pledge to amend the constitution using the proper democratic process.
But today's climate is so hostile to any kind of rational discussion about how to change laws. One faction just wants to deny citizenship right now to any people they seem not "american enough" while the other faction cannot possibly entertain any change to the current system or else It would concede something to the populist faction
I wonder why, out of the many things models definitely can't do, you choose "try" and "find out". Surely every time it proposes a solution and then gets possibly corrected by the human minder its "trying something out" and surely it can use tools like web search and code execution to "find out" stuff?
There are many ways of implementing a curl | sh installer, some of them robust, some of them not.
However they all look the same to the end user.
That's a feature and also a potential source of problems since users cannot tell if that particular application they want to install Is implementing the installer correctly or not. The outcome is that most users just trust that application (possibly because it's popular and trusted) and that's fine but it also trains the public that this installation method is ok and that gives a positive feedback for other applications to also offer their software using that installer pattern until at least one of such packages is implemented very badly or sneakily malicious.
If only a curl had a flag where you pass the sha256 of the file and it first checks it against the buffered file before outputting it to stdout.
That would singlehandedly resolve this whole kerfuffle.
The install instructions will be a slightly longer one liner and that's fine because people copy paste it anyway
You presumably have no problem moving around in a car that you only control indirectly via a steering wheel, an accelerator and a brake pedal without ever actually powering the wheels
He presented himself as someone who has utter disregard for any form of coherence and people actually argued that that's what made him palatable to the masses. I don't think that someone who voted for him can in good faith claim they didn't know he would betray his promises. All they wanted Is for him to own the libs
We wouldn't have identities either if we were all clones and our memories could be edited and shuffled at each conversation.
For an agent to have an identity we would have to intentionally make it hard to context engineering and limit it to append only messages that mimick human communication.
I can implant a thought into your head. If I say "Don't think about a green elephant" for a moment you'll think about a green elephant. There are more sophisticated examples of a person implanting thoughts in somobodies head (e.g. propaganda) but that's about it, I can't literally edit thoughts.
Why on earth do we want to limit our ability to do more powerful context engineering in a substrate that offers that ability natively?
Presumably because for some use cases you want the context of an agent to belong to a different "administrative domain" and you so want to have control over what information reaches it and how can it affect it?
In the last 3 months I received 700 spam/scam calls to my phone, my wife received about 400. We can't turn off ringing for unknown callers and we're getting mad. A few days ago I vented to one of those call-center people trying to sell me a cheaper power utility for the Nth time, and told her to find another job or something like that; she actually called me back yelling at me that "any job is worth", and yelled at her that I cannot fucking receive sometimes up to 20 calls in a day, sometimes at quite annoying times of the day! It's getting ridiculous.
EDIT: I know not everybody is having the same experience in my country. Some people are only getting a few calls per week; I registered our phones in https://registrodelleopposizioni.it/ and also I'm using android's spam filter which filters out additional hundreds of calls automatically.
EDIT 2: I sometimes wonder if we're being harassed by somebody ; I cannot tell. The voices are often quite similar, but it might be the albanian accent that makes them sound similar.
But LLM can write code that can do math and count. Tool use, more broadly, has proven to be a very powerful way to let LLMs do what they're good at (handle the fuzzy and imprecise nuances of natural language, which includes the scooping of a lot of context) and delegate other things they're not good at to external tools, some of which if can write on the spot.
If you think about it, we humans do that all the time too.
I'm crap at 4 digit multiplication in my head, but I have no problem doing that with pencil and paper
Fair enough, there _could_ be powerful models that are hidden from the general public, but I wouldn't call it "naive" to think the current capitalistic incentives are such that the only way to produce such models is to do exactly what we see out in the open with a handful of companies each trying their hardest to outcompete the other
