That’s theft rather than policy.
But it certainly does damage the argument that items are safer in the museum.

I broadly agree. For example, the elgin marbles should be returned (after multiple copies have been made). The British Museum will never truly “own” their artifacts. The Rosetta Stone will never be British.
But remember, I was answering about stealing from the giftshop. You would never own or be able to sell anything stolen from it.

I still get to control who gets in (visa)
You don’t control country visas. Neither does the British Museum.
i see the problem, you’re assuming I’m the British museum in the metaphor, but I’m more like the UK in the metaphor.
Ah OK. Then I’m confused what the “UK giftshop” represents, and also what are you stealing from it.
Why is a foreign entity, gets to decide what to do with stolen artifacts?
A good, but different question. We are straying from the question of being morally able to steal from the British Museum giftshop.
could I rob a bank, and when they catch me I can blame the bank for low security,.and not have to return anything because I will allow some people to come to my house and show them some bank stationary I also stole?
The standard response is that you are a white hat bank robber, and you will return the bank assets once they beef up security. But the Greek bank has done this and still doesn’t have it’s assets back.

You don’t have to pay for people’s transport if they come to see your giftshop loot, but you do have to show it them for free.
No. Selling on eBay is not allowed. In fact, once you have started your collection you are expected to pay for all future additions to your collection (although you may get donations).
Your shoplifting metaphor ignored the curation, storage and display responsibilities. It also assumed resale which, in the British Museum’s case, hasn’t occurred.
- Comment on (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ 1 week ago:
If you are comparing stealing from the giftshop to the museum’s procurement process then you have to display your loot in an equal (free) manner to all members of the public, and refuse sell any items.
- Comment on (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ 1 week ago:
Will you display for free all your stolen giftshop loot for everyone to see?

The only thing diferentianting them from Apple now is the pricing, which hasn’t reached outrageous levels ( yet ).

‘agents’ just interact with other programs.
If that other program is, say, a python terminal then can’t LLMs be trained to use agents to solve problems outside their area of expertise?
I just tested chatgpt to write a python program to return the frequency of letters in a string, then asked it for the number of L’s in the longest placename in Europe.
‘’''
String to analyze
text = "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch"
Convert to lowercase to count both ‘L’ and ‘l’ as the same
text = text.lower()
Dictionary to store character frequencies
frequency = {}
Count characters
for char in text: if char in frequency: frequency[char] += 1 else: frequency[char] = 1
Show the number of ‘l’s
print(“Number of 'l’s:”, frequency.get(‘l’, 0))
‘’’
I was impressed until
Output
Number of 'l’s: 16

But why can’t “query the python terminal” be trained into the LLM. It just needs some UI training.
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 3 weeks ago:
But an LLM as a node in a framework that can call a python library should be able to count the number of Rs in strawberry.
It doesn’t scale to AGI but it does reduce hallucinations.
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 3 weeks ago:
AGI is only a benchmark because it gets OpenAI out of a contract with Microsoft when it occurs.
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 3 weeks ago:
Why doesn’t the LLM know to write (and run) a program to calculate the number of characters?
I feel like I’m missing something fundamental.
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 3 weeks ago:
a much simpler and dumber machine that was designed to handle this basic input question could have come up with the answer faster and more accurately
The human approach could be to write a (python) program to count the number of characters precisely.
When people refer to agents, is this what they are supposed to be doing? Is it done in a generic fashion or will it fall over with complexity?

- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 3 weeks ago:
The original question was should the US have entered in 1939. That word implies a moral perspective.
The US was isolationist, but should it have been. Should any country be? (Draw your own historical parallels to today).
America shouldn’t be the world police, but it should help resource a world police force. And to be fair, the US did provide a huge amount of non military resources to Europe throughout WWII.
