Broadly speaking, these approaches can be seen as a stepping stone to full-on Reinforcement Learning (RL) with closed-loop, on-policy evaluation and model objectives tied to reward functions.

Before we get into it, let's make the subtext of the proposal explicit: Libraries provided this way will be as secure and privacy-preserving as every other browser-provided API. The best available proxy data also suggests that shared caches would have a minimal positive effect on performance. Which way should the policy go?

Suz Hinton's talks on WebUSB show the through-line: as the web gets more capable, whole classes of software suddenly benefit from frictionless deployment, increased safety, better privacy, and more meaningful user controls. Absent compelling content and attentive security and performance focus, it soon retreated to the server. [6].

In enterprises, we’ve seen everything from wholesale adoption to policies that severely restrict or even forbid the use of generative AI. 16% of respondents working with AI are using open source models. Unexpected outcomes, security, safety, fairness and bias, and privacy are the biggest risks for which adopters are testing.

I guessed that maybe ChatGPT only knew about v2 since it was trained on open-source code from before September 2021 (its knowledge cutoff date) and v2 was the dominant format before that date. And ChatGPT didn’t warn me about this. I’m sure people are now working on the next generation of AI that can bring us closer to this goal (e.g.,

Firewalls can’t just use the QUIC CIDs, because they also change over time to protect users’ privacy!
