They're spinning this as a positive learning experience, and trying to make themselves look good. But, make no mistake, this was a failure on Anthropic's part to prevent this kind of abuse from being possible through their systems in the first place. They shouldn't be earning any dap from this.
Meh, drama aside, I'm actually curious what would be the true capabilities of a system that doesn't go through any "safety" alignment at all. Like an all out "mil-spec" agent. Feed it everything, RL it to own boxes, and let it loose in an air-gapped network to see what the true capabilities are.
We know alignment hurts model performance (oAI people have said it, MS people have said it). We also know that companies train models on their own code (google had a blog about it recently). I'd bet good money project0 has something like this in their sights.
I don't think we're that far from a blue vs. red agents fighting and RLing off of each-other in a loop.
I assume this is already happening. Incompetence within state actor systems being the only hurdle. The incentive and geopolitic implications is too high to NOT do it.
I just pray incompetence wins in the right way, for humanity’s sake.
I'm finding that Bitbucket works well enough for my needs. It's CI is kind of an acquired taste, but once you hammer it into shape, it'll do what you need.
There's going to be a demand for Artisanal/Organic/Hallucination-free programmers in the future, much like there's a demand for COBOL programmers now, but bigger.
I'm building a music file manager using Electron. I'm deferring the actual music playing to VLC, but I need a way to sort through my many audio files to quickly select and launch what I want to hear.
The problem with the proposed solution is that many teams can't accurately break down tasks small enough. And, even those smaller tasks have variability in how long they take to do. What I've seen is that most teams don't really know how far "stories" break down into their simplest tasks until they actually do the work.
So, that puts us back at square one, for the most part. A story point may not tell you a lot, but tasks in this form often present the same problem.
SharePoint itself was only built so that it could be marketed as a "Notes killer". It doesn't do nearly what Notes did, but most shops only found that out after they were told to try to replace their Notes apps with SharePoint.
Neither is exclusive of the other. I'd start with React, since it's 80% of the market. But, once you feel comfortable with that, move on to learning Vue.
Also, it's worth it to consider looking at Svelte. If anything is going to take a chunk out of React's market share in the future, it will be Svelte or something that looks like it.
Remember that there's no limit to what you can learn, one step at a time.
