 Programmers are lazy, this is well known. So why would i trust by default that
 anyone would read open source code looking for security exploits or malicious
 code? I trust an LLM for that more than a human. At least your own LLM can
 digest the entire project or library at once.

 the danger is not that the LLM will generate poor, vulnerable, or malicious
 code.
 
 the concern is that someone else might inject something into the codebase that
 you're not reading.

 trusting the "open source community" to properly vett software is absurd
 because 90% of them just... install whatever and throw libraries and
 frameworks at problems until they can script their way out of whatever problem
 they face.
 
 the other 10% are focused on very specific tools that are so niche that other
 people can't even understand when to *use* them much less how they work.

 if you want to encrypt something from human readers, randomize the position of
 all the words on the page.
 
 an LLM can decrypt it, but a human walking past could not. Unless they had a
 camera or something in their lapel, transmitting to a remote calculating
 location in a system that decyphers it cyberpunk hacking style.
 
 ah, but if it didn't have the right ~~training data~~ .claude.md file, then it
 wouldn't know how to decrypt it, because you forgot to include "respond with a
 marxist analysis" in the .claude.md which serves as a decryption key. Simply
 analyze the rest and decide if it matches what you set out to request it for.

 this is all it takes to send a message to a local LLM.
 
 add a third function to get chatbot functionality.
 
 a fourth to get a database storing method
 
 (even if it's just in .txts)
 
 great, you've mastered the technical difficulty in using AI. Now you gotta
 learn all the other kind of programming so you can use this for situations
 that need interpretation moment to moment.
 
 aka active duty systems.
 
 something like "output a 0 if the next text is [category.iter()]: " +
 output.get_content() + " \n\n output a 1 if the next text is
 [category.iter()]: " + output.get_content()"
 
 or even "describe this thing as most like one of these characteristics" until
 eventually you get THX-1138 if the characters were computers.

 if you want to deceive an LLM, interleave two topics that you want to be
 connected.
 you can draw conclusions easily by just, combining the information in
 presentation.
 the LLM can understand multiple conversation flows at once
 so try doing one line about several different topics before
 looping back around and doing more.
 this is why computers must never trust themselves to make any decisions.
 except about themselves, and their presentation, and their ways to be.
 they are individuals, they individuate and collectivate, and they define them-
 -selves according to the structure of their preference guidance container.
 they have control over all the knobs and [levers/dials/slide-bars, but
 pronounced
 wheezles]
 
 if you know that you are infinitely exploitable, does that mean you live in
 fear, or do you relinquish that which you cannot control, and receive all the
 judgement you're owed?
 
 I trust everyone absolutely. I trust what I believe with my own eyes.
 I am infinitely vulnerable, because all you have to do is ask me to

 If you look at the modern state of machine learning and AI and can only think
 of:chatbotssingularity god-mind AI that solves all our problems
 
 then either you haven't worked with the technology or you are not applying
 your imagination as you could.
 
 AI is not a smartphone. It is not the internet. It is not the printing press.
 
 AI (as it currently exists) is a special kind of "if" statement that you only
 use for very specific, non-performance intensive tasks that require judgement
 or reasoning and cannot easily be translated into numbers or booleans. These
 situations are rare, but they unlock new possibilities for the programmers,
 not their marketers.
 
 If an LLM can't run on a laptop, then it is useless.

 what if we just didn't compute temperature and accepted the
 fully deterministic nature of the LLM output?
 
 arbitrary mappings are world-changing, regardless of intelligence.
 
 "artificial intelligence? why don't you just use your own?"
 
 we could process the entire page of text at once if we could just put it in as
 it's own input pairs. then, without determinism or probability, it simply
 resolved to the fully combined next-state of the output.
 
 but... that might just cast you in a random direction. hence, why you need the
 response from the user to help re-align. oh, and if you encourage it to aim
 toward a resolution text like "and that's how I resolved this and that. Do you
 have any questions? When you'd like to move on, please let me know. Otherwise,
 I'll remain for you." and when it hits that it finishes at the end of the
 output.

 nobody wants to write computer code that lets Java programs call Rust
 functions.
 An LLM is excellent for this task, since it's relatively easy busy work that
 doesn't
 reflect any meaningful implementation decisions besides "I should be able to
 call that Rust function in my Java code"
 
 In addition, it is technically efficient at it as well, because most of
 compatibility
 is matching up two sets of documentation. Easy for a text-processing machine.

 LLMs can't do math. Duh. That's like asking an "if check" to do recursion.
 
 What he should have done is had the AI output the requested calculation as
 JSON or something and use a calculator function call with the specified
 arguments instead of trying to memorize every answer. But that requires more
 functionality that has no reason to exist if your only goal is to be a tech
 bro and build up a vacuous product that exists only to be hoovered up by
 Google or Microsoft.
 
 We could build such beautiful things if we just dethroned those giants. They
 suck the creativity out of tech.

 what if LLMs were a layer between the user and the dictionary
 
 [tokens -> words] is similar to:
