> Stan Ulam [28] paraphrased John von Neumann as saying:
>> One conversation centered on the ever accelerating progress of technology and changes in the mode of human life, which gives the appearance of approaching some essential singularity in the history of the race beyond which human affairs, as we know them, could not continue.
> Von Neumann even uses the term singularity, though it appears he is thinking of normal progress, not the creation of superhuman intellect. (For me, the superhumanity is the essence of the Singularity. Without that we would get a glut of technical riches, never properly absorbed (see [25]).)
which hews much closer to how people who are fans of the term use it (the Singularity explicitly refers to the rise of superhumanly intelligent systems, not just the progress of technology overall).
I use nono.sh for sandboxing -- I think a lot of power users are using sandbox + YOLO mode because approval prompts slow them down
yes it's bad if the permission system is broken, but serious users have not trusted this stuff for a while, find the built-in permissions layer burdensome, and are already using a safety layer somewhere else
Which makes sense, but as long as the tool itself pretends to provide security features, the fact that these features don't work is a big problem, as it may provide a false sense of security to end users.
It'd be better if they had absolutely no permission enforcement and delegated it entirely to another program, as you say.
