    This is 100% the case. If an engineering firm fucks up and a bridge of building collapses or a CPU lacks working floating point arithmetic, they’re going to pay out the nose for it.

    They’re running around pretending they can’t control any of this, but without giving a language model access to a shell or something, what the fuck can it do?

    We have to deliberately grant these abilities. Otherwise, they don’t exist.

      That’s not quite true. As with the huggingface attack, the ability can be negligently granted as well.
