I realize there are already a ton of comments, but I think you're missing the idea of _precision_.

Most people aren't precise when initially describing their problem.

Jumping straight into implementation skips the part where we refine and better define what it is we're trying to do, and think through the implications of those changes.

I suspect "trusting the model" doesn't really work at scale with finite resources.

Not making the argument of whether or not it's corruption, but the DOJ sought to provide a legal exemption for the XAI datacenter:

It's also cheaper to just pirate the author's work, which Anthropic has also done.

I wish this were higher up!

They pirated my work and now they want government protection from other people doing the same.
