Does deploying these models in "the classified network" also mean this technology is going to be used to help kill people?

Freedom means freedom to exclude and alienate at the government level? Is that your argument? I can see your hypothesis, but I don't see your evidence.

I would use this information to reflect.

How do you mean? I don't look down on anyone.

This is a reductionist take on the problem. If I knowingly spike your drink with habit forming chemicals, and I don't tell you about it, am I in the wrong?

> knowingly spike your drink with habit forming chemicals

Like sugar?

Yes. I'm glad you agree.

An intelligent person would have given us a reason or some reassurance as to why losing "One of CIA’s oldest and most recognizable intelligence publications" is not something to worry about. Unless, said intelligent person is giving us warning. Tinfoil hat firmly glued on.

It's an amazing feat worthy of sharing?

LLMs are yet another layer between us and the end result. I remain wary of this distance and am super grateful I learned coding the hard way.

Fairphone is going to enjoy the next few weeks. Radboud isn't the only one!

Was the trade-off so exciting that we abandoned our own principles? Or, are we lemmings?

Edit: My apologies for the cynical take. I like to think that this is just the move fast break stuff ethos coming about.

To be fair, if you take something away from me that's mine, there's not much difference between the raccoon and myself.

You should work on that.

That kind of depends on the circumstances though, doesn't it? If someone on the street snatched your wallet out of your hands, and you felt reasonably confident that you'd be able to safely reclaim it by wrestling it back out of their hands, wouldn't you? I'm personally not very strong or fast, and I don't have any skills in terms of identifying whether someone might have a knife or something, so chances are that I wouldn't feel confident in pulling it off. If I did happen to have enough confidence that I would be able to without getting hurt though, it certainly feels like I'd be justified in doing it, and it seems like it would be more desirable than letting them take my wallet.

Why promote such a loser and defeatist attitude?

Because “having” things isn’t the goal for most of us.

"Having" things is the goal of most humans on this planet. Some individuals can control those baser instincts, but most people can not.

Is it too much for someone to ask for something?
