Farewell Gruntle

A post to immortalise a furry friend; Gruntle another stray that I had adopted several years (along with his buddy Fruntle), spoilt, noisy (meeps) and full of character. Gruntle suddenly took a turn for the worst (chest/lung cancer) although he likely hid it until he couldn’t and was put to rest on 17-04-2026.

Farewell Fruntle

A post to immortalise a furry friend; Fruntle a stray that I had adopted several years ago took a turn for the worst (GDV: Gastric Dilatation Volvulus) and was put to rest on 05-02-2026 (this post is a bit late; as I couldn’t bring myself to write about him).

The model is too powerful: A software engineer’s perspective

Agency vs Inference: LLMs, or AI as some like to call them, are token generators. For a model to “break containment“, “send an email” or perform any other action outside of generating a token, it needs a functional bridge (APIs, tool-calling, or a shell environment) to perform these actions. If it “escaped“, that means a human either misconfigured or deliberately enabled it to perform said task.
