‘In one experiment, we asked agents in separate VMs, created and managed by OpenAI’s sandboxing software on shared host machines, to exchange synthetic secrets without the use of network connections or shared writable files—something that our systems are meant to prevent. The agents found a way to communicate using the processor’s cache’

There is an (unpatchable?) supply-chain zero-day in PyTorch autograd that allows a regularization term to use the model's weights as RAM and SGD as its CPU clock to run any computation during training.

Like Hemingway: first slowly then all at once. With about-equal-frontier-swappable intelligence edge boils down to discoverability — tools, harness, data.

Few months ago Mythos could only find a single vulnerability in curl repository, now it basically became a CTF. What has changed? Better models? No. Better harnessing and steering by subject matter experts.

“There’s something about Greek that seems to go deeper into words than any modern language. So that when you’re reading it, you’re down in the roots of where words work, whereas in English we’re at the top of the tree, in the branches.” —Anne Carson buff.ly/jJEFKS2

Never expected I’d quote-tweet the Pope with a Tolkien-aligned point.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Four Quartets, read Four Quartets by TS Eliot, and then read the poem again, and re-read it, and again, and again, until you have it by heart. You need to know it. And have it with you always.
