Earlier this year a recruiter contacted me about a staff role there. Within minutes of the call they asked if I’d consider senior instead. I decided not to proceed.
This has been widely known in bodybuilding and powerlifting circles, people abusing performance enhancing drugs eat things like oats to mitigate the harmful effects of the drugs on their cholesterol, and regularly do blood work to monitor it and see that it is working.
I agree with all of that. Also consider that there is an argument that the guard rail only stops the good guy. Not saying that’s a valid argument though.
You wouldn’t say that rolling dice is dangerous. You would say that the human who decides to take an action, depending on the value of the dice is the danger. I don’t think AI is dangerous. I think people are dangerous.
I would say that's moot, because OpenClaw has already shown us how fast the dice-rolling super AI is going to be let out of the zoo. Dario and Sam will be arguing about the guardrails while their frontier models are running in parallel to create Moltinator T-500. The humans won't even know how many sides the dice have.
Modern AIs are increasingly autonomous and agentic. This is expected to only get more prominent as AI systems advance.
A lot of AI harnesses today can already "decide to take an action" in every way that matters. And we already know that they can sometimes disregard the intent of their creators and users both while doing so. They're just not capable enough to be truly dangerous.
AI capabilities improve as the technology develops.
Very cool. I have a similar side project for scraping youtube playlists and aggregating open source texts. Mainly materials for computer science, system design, and DSA (data structures and algorithms).
