Given the real world impact of building software poorly, should software engineering become a profession, just like any other form of engineering in the US?

Our understanding of ethics is so poor we think policing LLMs to suppress dirty words or scary information has something to do with them.

I'd prefer not to be out of work and under omnipresent AI-powered state surveillance.

"Guardrail" talk is about focusing you on the tech, not the operators.

Structures like the modern corporation and modern nation state tend to centralize and concentrate power to the extent the tools and forces available allow them. If not controlled by decentralized structures like DAOs, won't AI just be another powerful tool that allows greater centralization?

Companies are already gung ho about replacing workers with LLM's, even when it's a high risk, uncertain thing. While it's unlikely(?), I think we need a plan for knowledge work itself becoming obsolete. It should be more substantive than: let's hope they don't oppress us once they don't need us.

I think we need to focus on giving LLM's ersatz empathy and love for humanity. Ethics alone are not enough.

The moment an LLM can be persuaded that cruelty is rational, it will proceed without a second thought to the harm it causes.

The emotional cost of cruelty balances and tempers reason.

I collaborated with @chatGPT to write a thrilling tale of shadows, surveillance, and secrets in a mechanized world.

Check out the first chapter — crafted with a little help from an LLM.

What's the point of a new blue sky account without some shameless self promotion:

I think we overlook defense in depth when it comes to identity, and that unsexy identity posture hardening one of the biggest opportunities defenders have to make attackers work harder.
