IMO the only place you should use Agentic AI is where you can easily rollback changes that the AI makes. Best example here is asking AI to build/update/debug some code. You can ask it to make changes but all those changes are relatively safe since you can easily rollback with git.

Using agentic AI for web browsing where you can't easily rollback an action is just wild to me.

Can't the facility just as well try to nuke the repository and every remote it can push force to? The thing is that with prompt injection being a thing, if the automation chain can access arbitrary remote resources, the initial surface can be extremely tiny initially, once it's turned into an infiltrated agent, opening the doors from within is almost a garantee.

Or am I missing something?

Is the removal of any content for any reason "censorship"? I don't think that fits conventional usage of the term, and broadening the scope of the word to that level removes much of its usefulness.

If I steal an object, and the government takes that object away from me, would you call that government action "theft"?

Yes, and yes. Property is theft. Monopoly on objects which have virtually zero cost to be duplicated can't be justified by any moral ground, so it's basically only possible with corrupted mind enforcing this as social policy using psychological manipulation since garden, and every brutal means that can impose them in the obey or suffer dichotomy mindset.

> Wouldnt you need the T_zero configuration of the universe for this to work?

Why? We learn about the past by looking at the present all the time. We also learn about the future by looking at the present.

> Also we are assuming there is no non-deterministic processed happening at all.

Depends on the kind of non-determinism. If there's randomness, you 'just' deal with probability distributions instead. Since you have measurement error anyway, you need to do that anyway.

There are other forms of non-determinism, of course.

> We learn about the past by looking at the present all the time. We also learn about the future by looking at the present.

We infer about the past, based a bit on some material evidence we can subjectively partially get some acquaintance with. Through thick cultural biases. And the actual material suggestions should not come to far from our already integrated internal narrative, without what we will ignore it or actively fight it.

Future is pure fantasm, only bound by our imagination and what we take for unchallengeable fundamentals of what the world allows according to our inner model of it.

At least, that's one possible interpretation of the thoughts when an attention focus on present.

Looks like an impressive thorough piece of investigation. Well done.

That said, holistic supposition can certainly be traced back as far as writting dawns. Here the focus on more modern/contemporary era is legitimate to keep the focus delimited on a more specific concern, but is a bit obfuscating this fact. Maybe it's already acknowledged in the document, I read it all yet.

For making user interfaces, I believe in what is the most relevant depending on context. It could be a CLI, a physical red button, among many other things including the proposed set.

An other question had the option about optimizing for collaboration, and I think apart for purely personal stuff that your write like private poetry, that should always be criteria number one.

>Virtually all the languages we humans use—spoken, written, or artificial (such as programming languages)—are fundamentally one-dimensional.

Anyone having a look at a musical score can conclude this is wrong.

Even when it comes to spoken language, intonation is conveying a lot, even in languages which are not classified as tonal.

All that said, that's nice to see an exploration of exotic expression form. It doesn't need to down other approach to make shine its own.

Far more than that, so tell me, are my association of Russia and United-States to imperialist behaviors actually outdated, or are some cultural traits unfortunately still persisting through time?

Well, yes, that's called generational change. A lot of people have never experienced the bad old Microsoft, only the pretty cool guy Microsoft.

psychoslave · 12 days ago

Are pretty cool guys in command and firmly desiring to keep up with their ethos, or mere disposable shiny pawns that are one giant layoff away whatever good the profit are?
