If anything it's more important to hold. It's easy to hold one position and then falter, there's a pressure to always be with the times and not be 2 years demodé, but simple positions still hold true.
I wrote in the opencode thread that when it came out I put it behind a vm and its own user, and I never allowed it to run outside of it. But I know of people that as soon as they noticed that it worked well like 99% of the time, they let their guard down and give in to YOLO mode. And in orgs I've even seen CEOs treat their agents less like a user/employee/contractor, and try to 'empower' it by giving it ALL the data. Time bomb.
It's like fucking with condoms just the first couple of times. And then simultaneously ditching it and joining the free love movement.
It's not even clear what claim you're trying to make about AI here. "Dangerous", I guess? What does that have to do with its parrotude?
That just because a problem has existed for years, it doesn't mean the problem is gone or that it's no longer appropriate to make the same warnings and precautions as when it first came out.
I'm not asking whether you can justify your belief that AI is dangerous. I'm asking what it has to do with what species of bird it most resembles. I'm being serious about that. What do I have to learn from the claim that an LLM is a stochastic parrot?
