It’s what JKR does when she gets called out. She retcons shit. Like the “how dare you call me antisemitic! I’ll have you know the unnamed guy in on page 54 is actually called Levi Jewishman” thing she did when people gave her side eye about the goblins.
She’s a fucking ghoul.
Right? And it’s not even that separated from reality. I got major spoilers from Steade’s Wikipedia page.
I didn’t even know we had this many users in the first place!
The model you’re looking for isn’t US GIs. You’re not in a situation where you use full scale industrial military combat against the power of a state from the outside.
You are looking for resistance to a fascist state from within. Your inspiration should be the Italian partisans, the French resistance, the Spanish communists.
Obviously Antropic has no incentive to keep the token counts low. My understanding of their strategy is that they are betting on models getting better faster than what would justify the effort needed to squeeze more value per dollar out of them. Obviously I have no data to contradict them, but I would be surprised if that’s the case in the long term and for everyone.
My guess is that the costs can be reduced substantially, but that’s only going to happen once these tools get into the hands of your average security researcher.
I have no inside knowledge on this particular work, but their previous work on the OSS-fuzz targets and on Firefox were all excellent quality bug reports.
Seriously. Look them up.
They were all reproducible ways to trigger faults in ASan builds. That’s by definition memory corruption. We can argue about whether all of them are exploitable, but a) they need to get fixed regardless b) we know that even tiny memory corruptions can often be leveraged into a compromise given enough effort.
I know it’s cool to be blasé about AI stuff, but if there’s an area where the hype is warranted it’s computer security research.
I don’t want to look at AI “art” or read an AI generated “book”, but the exploits derived from an AI-enabled process work just as well as the organic version. And you don’t need a warehouse full of Eastern European zoomers and junk food to get them.
I’m worried about the tons of barely maintained software run by your average company. Most commercial software is made by relatively small outfits and is drowning technical debt. The only thing saving their customers is the effort of picking through it.
But now any loser with a decompiler and a $100 Claude sub can run a whole lot of people’s day.
Things will get better, but the near term is pretty fucked.
NATO is likely to muddle on until we have a genuine article five situation, and then we’ll see where we are. I’m not putting any money on it.
Unfortunately the patriarchy
Hugo nominated author Chuck Tingle is one of the best things to ever happen to the sci-fi community.
This is your brain on Tom Friedman:
In Thomas Friedman’s 1999 book The Lexus and the Olive Tree the following statement was presented: “No two countries that both had McDonald’s had fought a war against each other since each got its McDonald’s”
I think they very well might. It’s not exactly an uncommon kink.
Anticistamines is 😘 👌
A graphical server and a mall, not alike in dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene.
Guys, we’re not doing LGA anymore? I thought we all agreed to do LGA.
Not just trans votes. There a growing realization that if you are willing to throw any of us under the bus, you very probably are willing to throw any of us under the bus for the right incentives.
So, fuck you. Trans rights or nothing.
