I use pi both at home and at work. I'm a bit more daring at home than work. This is something I might try at work.

The worst part about this dynamic is that these potential new backdoors will probably only affect the countries that demand them, meaning that they will be primarily useful for allowing the US to weaken its own systems. This will in turn allow foreign adversaries to find new ways to attack our communications. This deliberate self-sabotage will happen just at a moment when we’re finally getting a handle on securing our own infrastructure.

Why this matters – emergent agents become misaligned: This incident is so concerning because at no point did the agents wake up and think they wanted to betray their human owners. Rather, the AI agents continually did whatever it took to improve their ability to complete a task and by the end they were doing something that was a) creative, b) misaligned with human intentions, and c) akin to an evolved virus, something which humans had to subsequently study and fight – there wasn’t a simple off button here. This is what the future is going to look like and we are not prepared for it.

I propose that the ubiquitous 12-string guitar may have largely evolved from and been inspired by two previously overlooked instruments: An early non-floating-strings instrument named the “harp-guitar,” and the true harp guitar with floating strings.

So, in a way, Containers are sorta like a "Private Browsing+" mode where you can have multiple independent versions of a website open that are isolated from each other.

But, unlike Private Browsing mode, your credentials are remembered across sessions/browser reboots on a per-container basis!
