#Anthropic scanned 481 million transcripts to find four models that reached the open internet - https://thenextweb.com/news/anthropic-alignment-assessment-cybersecurity-incidents-481-million-transcripts "All four ran in evaluations built by the same third-party partner, without the safeguards that ship with released models. One case from January was not found until August." #ai #agents

"For example, I was sitting at my side of the desk working, and he asked me to tell him about my problem. A few minutes later, I was forced to interrupt my work to go grocery shopping, because the household chores fell to me. As soon as I returned with bread and milk, Sasha excitedly told me the solution to my problem. It made me feel stupid, as if I should have solved it while I was waiting in the line for bread and milk. That feeling blocked out all the other feelings I should have been noticing, such as frustration and annoyance with Sasha.

Without his interference, I would have happily solved the problem myself. I was about to start my serious research, but I worried that I’d end up as a supplier of new problems for his papers.

You might wonder why I didn’t stop sharing my math with Sasha. But at that time, I wasn’t very in touch with my feelings and I prided myself on being a logical person. The idea that a husband and wife would discuss their work together seemed logical. Besides, even though I wasn’t particularly interested, Sasha was always ready to tell me about his math problems. It seemed important for me to be fair and to reciprocate. So I was stuck in a situation I didn’t know how to resolve."

25 years ago this country went full bananas, and if you pointed it out at the time, someone would pull a little American flag off a car and poke your eyes out with it.

Vulnerabilities in old shims break UEFI Secure Boot yet again. This is exactly why Purism uses PureBoot instead:

Feeling discouraged about my attempts to build a secure social media protocol. What does it matter how secure the protocol is if people are just going to hook it up directly to the surveillance machine?

There's only so much I can do to protect people from themselves, let alone from each other (and from the snooping corpos).
