Does anyone who actually plays with this stuff have a view on qhether this is a powerful evolution or simply a fever dream?

It doesn't remotely address the moral, IP theft etc issues of LLMs but does it start to generate some kind of simplistic "memory" and "understanding" analogues?

I get the impression we are still the traditional "few months" before "lift off".

Excellent #39c3 talk on so-called "agentic AI" and how it's infiltrating into operating systems. Key quote from the end: "Without implementation of the proposed [palliatives] we risk locking ourselves into a digital infrastructure where we are no longer the users of our devices but the managed resources of an automated economy" #agenticAI #security #agency #consent

I wrote the manual Karpathy said was missing for agentic AI

With reasoning, there is yet another explosion of at least 10x, often 100x.
Which takes us rapidly into tens to hundreds of millions of tokens for a single query that started out as a few hundred tokens.
This is why Google now processes quadrillions of tokens monthly.

Today we launch the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) with project contributions of MCP (Anthropic), goose (Block) and AGENTS.md (OpenAI), creating a shared ecosystem for tools, standards, and community-driven innovation.

If you're going to allow an AI agent to work on your computer on your behalf, create a separate user account for it and only give it access to the specific resources it will control. Follow the principle of least privilege.

This is also true, by the way, if you allow other people to do work on your computer on your behalf. Both people and AIs can make terrible blunders.

It's bad enough that you might accidentally delete a needed resource. You don't want to make it more likely by allowing an AI or another person to also have such access.

If you don't actually know how #genAI and #agenticAI works, then you shouldn't let it anywhere near your data (or anyone else's).

If you do actually know how they work, then you *know* not to let it anywhere your data (or anyone else's).

@gubi In this particular instance, user reportedly gave the #agenticAI direct access to execute commands on their local file system.

Doesn't really matter whether the #AI is on-prem, self-hosted, running locally, with no access to the public internet… It had access to his local data, and it used that access to destroy the data.

Even isolated AI is dangerous AI, especially if the user assumes that it is competent and does not triple verify every AI-proposed line of command/program execution.

If you don't actually know how #genAI and #agenticAI works, then you shouldn't let it anywhere near your data (or anyone else's).

Fara-7B: An efficient agentic model for computer use

The ever-delightful @adamengst joins me to talk about agentic web browsers. I think you’ll get a kick out of his assessment as he puts them through their paces using phrases like “full cuckoo”, “daydreams in class”, “hapless third graders”, requiring “academic integrity referral”, and “like a scared, insecure intern”.
