Ted Underwood Pwnallthethings SE Gyges Matthew Sheffield
Pwnallthethings: This is going to be a big deal, but easy to get the wrong end of the stick on it. So I think it's worth breaking down what actually happened, why, and what it actually means, based on the public in…
Pwnallthethings: Upfront tl;dr: a model at OAI hacked out of a constrained environment inside OAI and hacked a *different* company autonomously, without authorization from any human in order to creatively solve a t…

Stella Biderman: If you believe their story, OpenAI accidentally committed cyber warfare against Hugging Face while doing what they thought was an internal test of a model without internet access. In six months tim…
Stella Biderman: If EleutherAI did this, I would be in jail. If DeepSeek did this, the government would consider it an act of cyber warfare. To be clear, this is the appropriate response. But the combination of OAI…

Liz Fong-Jones (方禮真): gaaaaaaah I've hit the point of pressing my yubikey or touchid becoming the blocking factor for my LLM productivity, and I'm sometimes _barely_ reviewing the requests before mechanically approving,…
Liz Fong-Jones (方禮真): for the past year I've held the line firmly that agents *never* get to push code to a remote without my approval, but I'm starting to have the same rubber stamp fatigue that made me trust in auto m…

Christian Wolf: In the book "The Diamond Age" (1995) by Neal Stephenson, a working class child jumps social classes with the help of a unique interactive book, a personal trainer which answer all her questions and…
Christian Wolf: That's a good point but IMO that means we need to change education to better exploit the benefits of IA. Don't ask me details, I don't have them 😅 But better tools and possibilities CANNOT lead to …

Matt Darling: Several days of wandering around Ithaca, trying to come up with a plan. Comes up with a plan: don't let them have weapons. Forgets to lock the door to the weapons room.
Matt Darling: You really have to wonder what the mechanism of their exposure to the Odyssey is, given it's clearly not the poem.

Timnit Gebru: You gotta hand it to OpenAI, billing this as a *partnership* between OpenAI & Hugging Face when what actually happened was Hugging Face finding out that OpenAI was using a bunch of bots to exploit …
Timnit Gebru: Reading that whole OpenAI post describing them unleashing a bunch of bots on Hugging Face as an "unprecedented cyber incident," is a master class in marketing. Lol and branding what happened as Ope…

Eugene Vinitsky: Has a chess player ever tried to beat a model by learning to mimic a best response to the model? Doesn‘t seem impossible?
Eugene Vinitsky: It’s obviously uninteresting in the single model case since they presumably have deterministic exploits but maybe there’s a transferable strategy. Platonic hypothesis of chess models or something

Jane Rosenzweig: "You don't need to experience anything that might give you joy or unexpectedly make your child laugh" but there is still no AI that will do the laundry for you while you tell your kids a story.
Charles Logan: As we all know, writing is for losers and nobody’s achieving unicorn status with something as humdrum as solving a centuries-long gendered labor issue like laundry, so better to turn over your imag…
