Wait … that’s lame. If it’s in Debian repos I expect it to work with full functionality (up to the version number)
replyI can understand the myriad reasons for why a company would be inconvenienced by that.
But on the other hand, it seems like a reason for me to never use the vendor
I feel like a massive blocklist is simultaneously exactly the kind of thing an LLM is likely to hallucinate and exactly the kind of thing you don't want to rely on an LLM for.
replyIf they had it build it from public sources then I assume it was combined via tool usage rather than direct generation. Beyond the hallucination risk, the latter would just be a waste of tokens & time.
replyModern agent harnesses rely heavily on tools, as well as writing code, to avoid hallucinations affecting deterministic values.
replyWhich means it'd be a lot cheaper, to use tools, and public sources, and just automate it the traditional way...
replyI'd rather spend the $0.50 in API credits than waste a couple hours of my time. How much is your time worth?
replyWell, it'd cost me about 10 minutes, and it wouldn't delete half my data. So... How much is your infrastructure worth?
replyI take it you’ve never used a modern agent.
replyAh, I have to check that, thanks!
replyAh, I just learned this, thanks for the heads up.
