...to the more powerful thing.
When code is expensive, data is (relatively) cheap.
Data flows to code.
When code is cheap, data is (relatively) expensive.
Code flows to data.
A copernican shift!
...xtual Flow Control is the ability to reduce code to more granular chunks, whose data flows can be analyzed more precisely.
Less code has access to privileged resources.
This granularity allows a much higher ceiling on the value of combinin...
...ific way to software that has been contained within independent modules, so all data flow across modules can be tracked and verified, allowing contextual integrity for novel software.
Think of it like type checking for privacy policies.

People intuitively fear their data flowing where they can't see it.
If your data can flow invisibly and do some kind of diffuse, unknown harm to you in the future, that's scary.
Data is unl...
It's kind of wild how much people care about their data flowing to LLMs more so than to a generic cloud services.
Generic cloud services could do whatever they want with your data… send it on to other companies...
Today users' data flows to an all-powerful aggregator in the sky who you have to trust with your life.
The only decision is which aggregator among a handful of mostly simil...
It's a computational impossibility to reason through all the implications of data flowing in the current model, through third- and fourth-degree (and beyond) uses of data.
The interactions of data, ownership, privacy all in big impossib...
...struction can only be combined in legal combinations that maintain integrity of data flows and confidentiality.
An LLM could absolutely construct a set of those tubes for data it can't see to flow through.
