From a computational standpoint this is obviously nonsense, but from an attentional one I'm not so sure. It may already be more attentionally expensive to use grep in some cases, such the moment you need to remember a non standard arg. And if this applies for performing a simple http operations, then it certainly applies going up the complexity chain.
Why does it have to be a layman? The 2001 anthrax attacks are believe to have been carried out by an insider to the field (senior biodefense researcher). Such tools could potentially be accelerants for similar individuals?
If the five eyes intelligence services aren't monitoring all biodefense researchers and bio chemists around the world all of the time they've probably failed in their jobs.
The five eyes have four other eyes. But, from where I'm sitting the primary eye has only gotten stronger in the last 2 years. See some work we did in late 00's to early 2010's called Nexus 7 and extrapolate to modern capabilities.
Our current government can't even monitor for screwworm, measles, and salads.
You think they can successfully track the smartest and most individually dangerous citizens, who have been previously vetted, and work inside the system already?
Let's be careful to separate capable-of from motivated-to.
Those three "can't even monitor" situations can be traced to blocs with both (A) a financial profit if they succeed and (B) some non-clandestine political clout to sabotage/discontinue things.
What are you talking about? There have been 5 (five) cases of screwworm in the us and the us is responding by producing millions of sterile male screwworms a day as we speak.
Oh the Trump DOGE losers cut funding for the monitoring program, and it’s already showing up, despite being successfully managed for decades.
Basically shocking levels of incompetence; start an unpopular war, lowest approval ratings of any president ever, pardon J6 traitors, $6/gallon diesel levels of incompetence.
The average life cycle is 20 days, during which time a female can lay ~3000 eggs and travel up to 200km. In 1971 there were 473 confirmed cases in the United States, in 1972 migrating flies breached the sterile fly barrier, and by 1973 it spiked to more than 100,000 US cases.
That’s like saying a carpenter doesn’t understand woodworking because they sometimes buy pre milled lumber. Or that landscaper a doesn’t understand mowing because they don’t trim each blade of grass individually.
Mining the chats for "good ideas" would be untenable, but that's a different situation than data ending up in a training set for a problem that OpenAI also happens to be independently working on. Still, I opt out (business plan), and I don't know why you wouldn't.
Why would mining chat transcripts for ideas be untenable? They already run a summarization model to auto-title the chat, and to run a bunch of safety filters, and presumably to score transcript quality for A/B testing and to collect more finetuning data. Seems like evaluating for open research questions and approaches would be pretty trivial extension of this, after all it’s kind of their core business model
