That is the wrong abstraction to think at. The problem is not _which_ tools you give the LLM, the problem is what action it can do.

For example, in the book-a-ticket scenario - I want it to be able to check a few websites to compare prices, and I want it to be able to pay for me.

I don't want it to decide to send me to a 37 hour trip with three stops because it is 3$ cheaper.

Alternatively, I want to be able to lookup my benefits status, but the LLM should physically not be able to provide me any details about the benefits status of my coworkers.

That is the _same_ tool cool, but in a different scope.

For that matter, if I'm in HR - I _should_ be able to look at the benefits status of employees that I am responsible for, of course, but that creates an audit log, etc.

In other words, it isn't the action that matters, but what is the intent.

LLM should be placed in the same box as the user it is acting on-behalf-of.

How did it turn out? Seems like both still have their trademark and everyone lived happily ever after

Its so effective that after clicking through the warning I get nothing but a black screen on MacOS Safari and Chrome, and the same on Safari on iPhone.

Why would you ever need to take a wrench to a disk? How many of apple’s users have ever actively used or even held a wrench?

Where I live in the UK there’s a chain of shops called Home Bargains that for some bizarre reason has a life-size cardboard cutout of a security guard at the door of every store instead of the real thing. This seems like a version of that but maybe people will pay more attention to it.

Not that I agree with bail-outs, but 2008 financial crisis that resulted in a number of bail outs actually netted the treasury a profit.

> In total, U.S. government economic bailouts related to the 2008 financial crisis had federal outflows (expenditures, loans, and investments) of $633.6 billion and inflows (funds returned to the Treasury as interest, dividends, fees, or stock warrant repurchases) of $754.8 billion, for a net profit of $121 billion

I don’t think that really counts if there has to be a giant campaign of quantitive easing by printing dollars alongside.

If Taiwan becomes practically inaccessible, is there any way another country can setup a competing fab (for the latest generation of chip sizes) without years of R&D? As far as I understand, the practical knowledge of how to do it doesn't exist right now. (Neither does the prerequisite tooling)

Given there’s fabs doing essentially the same thing elsewhere then yes. Getting down to 3nm and the technology and secrets that involves would take a while though.

TSMC can’t do it either without xUV lithography machines made by ASML in the Netherlands.

Furthermore there isn’t anything magical about about the current generation of chips that couldn’t be replicated at at a scale of 12 or 15 or 20 nanometers - it’s just that scaling down to that small allows for a greater density of transistors per wafer and thus increased power efficiency. An AI supercomputer could be built with chips with bigger transistors than 3nm it would just run hotter.

And investing in intel aside, one of Nvidias great competitive moats is CUDA and that’s software not hardware.
