It would seem in this design that all the tools should be called through a wrapper that understands the vault and provides the credentials to the tool in the right way. How otherwise can curl use the credentials? Curl has no idea that there's a vault somewhere

What's crazy here is that a government I'd requiring de-regulation while companies are trying to keep stricter rules. What a time.


Subscribers should be aware what they are supporting. I think that keeping an OpenAI account can be considered an active support of this decision, at least for private people who can easily change providers.


> I don't see how OpenAI employees who have signed the We Will Not Be Divided letter can continue their employment [...]

Sometimes money is more attractive than morality. So I guess money is the answer here.


I would have said that this is covered under vanity sizing. I have the feeling some consumers might be more inclined to buy a product if it has size M instead of XXL, even if the product is exactly the same. So my take is that, in the name of profit, companies lie about size.


> bring it to your neighborhood tailor. Most alterations are simple and not very expensive.

I think, this is a misconception, some "simple" things like resizing a shirt, when done properly, might require multiple hours + a decent amount of skills and the alterations might be cheap because they are performed by underpaid workers. Nonetheless, I like the idea of supporting local tailors and I'd be in for paying premium for a local premium product.


I dunno, tbh I'd be in the camp of putting a banner 'run this at your own risk' and then let it go wild. Some people are going to get burnt, probably quite bad, but I guess it's more effective to learn like that rather than reading stuff upfront and take necessary precautions and maybe these will be cautionary tales also for others.

Thanks to the reports, hopefully, with time, some additional security measures will also be added to the product.


> Some people are going to get burnt, probably quite bad

It's all lighthearted hypotheticals until someone you love or you yourself in a moment of inattention make a catastrophic mistake.

In theory, we don't need guardrails on roads. Just stay on the fucking road and if you swerve off it, you'll get a lesson in why that's a bad idea.

In practice, we are primates whose cognitive systems are made of squishy grey goop and we make mistakes all the time. Building systems that turn predictable mistakes into catastrophic consequences is what we used to call "poor engineering".


I don't think you are wrong, I do want guardrails and personally try to ensure that there are those guardrails before driving. However, it seems that a lot of people cannot wait for them and just want to go out and drive, fast, even if everything points towards the fact that that's not a good idea. If someone really wants to touch the fire after everyone stated multiple times that they shouldn't do it, I guess it's ok to let them go fo it.

Maybe we should take the same approach to bridge design! Think of the efficiency! Slap a disclaimer on that bad boy and see how many people choose to use the bridge at their own risk. I’m sure we can just assume people aren’t doing irresponsible things like driving school buses over it, and even if they were, it’s their own responsibility.

It’s really not so bad if you focus your messaging on how many people won’t die… and’s they’ll all lean from the mistakes of the dead and choose a more reliable bridge. And it would be so much cheaper and faster to build bridges so you’d have a fraction of the downtime. I think it’s a winner!

Sure there would be larger consequences for the local job market and such when they get disrupted, but hey… if you’re going to make an omelet…


I think that Google has some partnership with Deutsche Telekom where they provide the software and Deutsche Telekom Runs it because Google doesn't have the encryption keys. In that case Google even if they want they cannot provide the data. Anyway that is still not digital sovereignity as Google might decide to stop providing updates or add a backdoor...

What CPU are they using here?


The exact CPU depends on the region/cloud provider, but this Granite Rapids CPU is representative: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/240777/...


Thanks!


If you kill someone when drunk driving you face more serious consequences than if you weren't drunk. There should be similar consequences here you get a disease you could have vaccinated for? You pay 4 times the amount for the cure.


You should also pay more for school fees to cover additional insurance when the school gets sued for letting voluntary unvaccinated child attend who infects another child, who couldn't get vaccinated for legitimate medical reasons.


Should there be similar consequences for the people killed due to wasted health care resources? Or family members affected by an alcoholic?

What about smokers and second hand smoke?


At least in certain countries there are high taxes on cigarettes and alcohol probably also to cover such costs
