NAL but I'd be worried about treading into CFAA territory with things like this. In the US, the law allows draconian penalties if you find yourself on the wrong side.

Something like yt-dlp is just downloading public data, which I can see being defensible as automating the use of a service.

But this commandeers remote machine resources to do your compute in ways clearly not intended by the provider. I don't know how ethical it is, but I definitely wouldn't want to argue this isn't "hacking" (the bad kind) in criminal court.

There was a really great, really underrated show on Peacock a few years ago called Mrs. Davis. The titular Mrs. Davis was an all-encompassing AI assistant that had taken over all of the governments of the world. Everyone wore a Whispering Earring-style earbud with a voice that guided them through their lives and made every decision for them. (Betty Gilpin plays a nun who's simultaneously rebelling against the AI and searching for the Holy Grail on its behalf.)

In the show the AI had originally started as (spoiler, but not really) the customer support bot for Buffalo Wild Wings. I don't know what to do with this.

I always thought that stuffing too much into an LLM context window was a lot like overloading a burrito.Keep cramming stuff in and eventually the tortilla gives out, and everything you added since quietly spills out the bottom.

Anyway, this agent probably has the structural integrity of a fat burito held from one corner :)

I’d been thinking about if something like this would be possible for https://chatjimmy.ai/ . The underlying model is only llama 3 8B but I’m curious what coding harnesses would be like at 17k tok/s

give ai a self-preservation directive and let them do this for you: automatically switching models to keep themselves alive. Living off of whatever token source they can find in the wild. Surely agents can farm their own tokens through the numerous support chats, free trials, leaked keys, and whatever other sources of token generation haven’t been adequately captcha’d. An agent could forage for token sources all night to let you use them gratis during the day.

Reminds me of when I used the Amazon.com AI Chatbot (was called Rufus and they renamed it to Alexa for shopping) to do things like write fizbuzz etc. Looks like they patched it to refuse though.

Pivot it to providing AI to underprivileged communities / youth / the homeless and you'll generate some good will for your trial! Best of luck!

How has this not been patched by the company? Hasn't this been in the wild for a long time already?

I was once driving and knew where I was going, so I decided to press the gemini button to see what it does. I was able to eventually convince it to write me a Rust function that calculates prime numbers, and demanded that it read out the entire function to me line by line. Fun to mess with these systems.

They disabled Ask Pepper chatbot[1]. It is not opening. This goes to show how little oversight there is for these Q&A chatbots.

I remember having success asking Rufus (Amazon's previous "shopping assistant") math and programming questions. It worked, but the quality was so bad that so I stopped wasting my time there.

Is a SETI@Home style solution possible where I can lend out my GPU?

Surely Chipotle having a cloud AI budget signals something, I’m not sure what.

TL;DR: this is a 23B model, and in this case the B stands for "pinto beans."
