All reinforcement learning jokes aside, this is especially true for women and minorities in tech. Respect often comes from recognition, so defend your contributions and stand up for others who get theirs misattributed.

Assigning credit is less about rewards, and more about assigning influence for future decisions. Attribution is crucial, but for different reasons than one might think.

this is completely fake - there’s no LLM folder in that path and there’s no “llm” string in the registry. this doesn’t change after you do a training run either. the AI safety panopticon FUD is getting out of hand…

In 6th grade I was in an advanced math class but would finish early. I would pretend to go to the bathroom but sneak down the hall to the bomb shelter closet to try to pick the lock because it sounded mysterious. I was eventually successful but discovered it was just storage 😒

To everyone excitedly dunking on AI-based malware detection rn: you should know this kind of attack is not actually new - @dlowd proposed this back in 2004 as a technique for fooling spam filters and @biggiobattista has work from 2015 showing that you can poison feature selection

They expertly demonstrate why you should never put a browser on the same network as CAN Bus :P You need physical access once and then can run the attack remote - also note that you can do the injection without root!

@sampullara @alexgraveley I’m specifically debunking the claim that stealing a single GPU out of a data center used for training/inference is a useful exercise (this was an elaborate subtweet lol). the human factor is always the easiest - anybody who disputes that simply doesn’t grok how security works :)

@GiorgioPatrini @nostarch You know, I hadn’t considered that but I should :) Right now I’m focused on making sure this book is my best work, but the need for accessible content on this topic is definitely pressing
