Sounds like a pedestrian view of attack vectors. Putting a DMZ around an agent essentially takes away its hands. With that said, I do agree there are plenty of measures that can be taken to lock these things down.
It is mind boggling how difficult it is. I should be able to go to some well known URL, e.g. gemini.com and have the same experience I have on claude.ai or chatgpt.com. I can't wrap my head around why they are over complicating this. And it should largely feel this same as when I install 'Anti Gravity' which is just a crazy bad name. Why isn't it called Gemini Desktop?
As someone who is building one of these referred to systems in a major vertical in the Fortune 500, these LLMs are very much being used to eat major legacy systems and processes. There are still plenty of obstacles to overcome but the number of AI governance and steering groups that I have been apart of are indicative of what's happening in a major industry.

Those LLMs are not being wielded by 2 tech bros in a garage replacing the 100 000 person company.
Those LLMs are being adopted by the huge enterprise itself and being surrounded from all sides by a very complex procedural harness (aka regular programming) that stops the LLM from doing dumb stuff.
This is like saying food is shittier today because there are now more restaurants. No, food has never been better, there are just a ton of shitty restaurants.
More like saying samey corporatized slop bowl copy paste jobs (eg Cava) are driving out real, quality restaurants, a thing that has actually been happening for some time.
Well that would depend on your interest rate, presumably. Especially since interest is tax deductible in some places.
If you _do_ break up, this also makes it harder for one person to keep the house, which might be bad if there's kids in a local school, etc. If you have 100k in equity it's easier to buy out your ex than if you have 1 million in equity.
Mathematically, yes, it depends on the interest rate. Over the reality of how humans work is people who pay their house off early are the type of people who tend to make other good financial decisions. And so paying off your house early is good advice even though it seems like it shouldn't be by any mathematical means. If you are the exception that actually has the discipline to invest in things that are better than a house Again, assuming common interest rates and other investments available - you are better off, but the reality is that type of person doesn't exist.
Yes, but I haven't found an exception. Either people are risk adverse and so they prioritized paying off the low interest rate loans; or they don't apply it to their own life.
Fwiw I have an automatic transfer of 25% of my take home in to IBKR every month… I actually mostly regret being too financially conservative in the past. Should never have sold off bitcoin to pay student loans…
What is the issue with the bank holding the title? Sure, you lose the house if you can't make the payments to the bank, but you also lose the house if you can't make the tax payments to the government. In both situations (with or without a mortgage), you never truly own it.
In general your tax payment is much lower than your house payment, and so if you can pay the house off, you will have or should have no problem paying the taxes. Watch the local politics because everyone saw this does fail but it is pretty rare overall. Meanwhile people do lose their job and the payment portion of the house is a lot of money and so you can lose your job just because bad luck and in turn you lost your house.
Or to put it a different way, if my house was paid for, it would hurt, but I could make all ends meet just working fast food jobs. It wouldn't be an easy life, I'd end up walking a few miles to the nearest fast food place because I couldn't afford a car, but I could at least keep my house.
> knowing that the bank still holds the title to your house.
While the bank holds the title on a financed car, they don't actually hold title on your house. They will have a recorded lien, of course. But you hold the title, which should help you sleep ;p.
That's why a house is foreclosed, and a car is repossessed. Repo is lender calls the tow peeps and they pick up your car; foreclosure requires notice and often court and plenty of bureaucracy.
Neither option is fun, of course.
On topic, I was paying a little extra on my mortgage (mostly as I rate adjusted down, I would tend to keep paying the old payment), but when savings interest is more than mortgage interest, it was just as easy to sleep with a savings balance equal to the mortgage balacne as with no mortgage.
What exactly looks bad about it? These models have been trained on high converting UX patterns. They are definitely homogenous but I am not sure they look bad.
I made a similar reply to another comment here but,
It really gives me the ick when I see websites about things like game modding projects, things that are for-fun creative projects, and they're full of AI linkedin-speak. I feel like if you were excited about building a mod for a game you wouldn't need AI to describe it for you, or write the announcements/reddit posts trying to reach out to the community.
Why... Maybe the website is the thing that's the least fun or the least important and that would be a good fit for delegating that work to an AI, isn't it?
Like when you were a kid goofing around with some art supplies and you tried to mix every color of crayons, markers, watercolors, and/or colored pencils together to be both anything and everything all at the same time: It's just a sea of homogeneous brown yuck.
That homogenized yuck might work for code that is ultimately interpreted by a machine and that performs some kind of human-described function, but in writing (and in menu boards) it's just highly-emphatic sludge.
