To be fair, those bullet points are pretty standard security best practices that any software company should be following.
But like, at the same time, even if AI companies were doing those best practices, I still wouldn't let their products loose on production systems.
Sure, they're reasonable requests. They're things that he should have looked at before letting spicy autocomplete loose on production.
If I put a supposedly trained monkey into a tractor's cabin and had it try to do farm work, I don't think people should be listening to my ideas about what kinds of skills monkeys should be taught before they're assigned farm work. I think people should be laughing at me and calling me an idiot for assuming a monkey could do farm work.
Yes but your monkey was able to start your tractor that one time... And like, what if your neighbor starts using monkeys? He might harvest more than you. Besides, everyone will be using farming monkeys in the future, so better start letting them drive now. You wouldn't like to be known as a monkey free farm, right?
