Yeah, imagine if you let your gasoline powered lawnmover just run around in your yard just to see what would happen and you just left it for a couple of days in the anticipation that eventually your entire lawn was cut only to find that it also ran over some kid. The lesson from that wouldn't be that your lawnmover is just too good.

Like what the fuck are the odds that, of the billion or so websites on the internet, your "rogue agent" "accidentally" hacks an AI repository?

I only listen to it on YouTube because there are no adbreaks (except the ads YouTube plays, but I never see them).

On my podcast app, there are three long ad breaks in almost every episode. It's really annoying, but par for the course for podcasts made in the USA. Whenever I listen to something that was produced in that country, it's always part of a large network like iHeart and they love putting their ads in. Even if they don't have a sponsor, they promote themselves. Can't just let go of the ad space if no one booked any ads, capitalism at its finest.

Ironically, I feel like this is something LLMs could help with. Transcribe the audio, figure out where the ad breaks are and skip them.
