Security through novelty?
This is an excellent paper from the folks at @AISecurityInst and worth reading. I will have to read it again but this particular point is a good one and I think the takeaway is important. Cyber attack chains across a set of enterprise systems (simulated or real) have a finite

The Big MacBook Index
I've plotted the most expensive McDonald's burger and the least expensive MacBook over time. This analysis projects that the most expensive burger will be more expensive than the cheapest laptop as soon as 2081

Terror-glamorization apparently passes as “human rights activism” these days. According to Wikipedia, Mona Seif, sister of Alaa, is known for her “creative use of social media”. See attached. But rest assured HRW has found no “evidence whatsoever of support for violence”!
Something out of a sci fi movie #طوفان_الأقصى I guess it takes a special kind of imagination to find new ways of resisting an extremely advanced occupation army whose war crimes are constantly justified and endorsed by some of the most powerful governments!

I lent support to a murderous, racist, antisemitic cause I knew nothing about. I was then shocked to learn something about it. Somebody else must say sorry and then everything will be fine. My personal sense of responsibility is outstripped by that of a teaspoon. Hi, I’m your MP!
Those of us who campaigned for Alaa Abd El-Fattah’s protection and release as a British citizen plainly were not aware of his grotesque tweets, and at no point had anyone raised them with me until yesterday. I trusted the process to give Alaa citizenship, and then supported the

As of literally right now Google is still perfectly happy to sell ads to @serpapi. Totally implausible lawsuit.

Says it all. The Economist: Do you use AI yourself? Sir Keir: Yes, I do use AI. The Economist: What for? Sir Keir: We’re using it within government for a whole bunch of roles. The Economist: But what about you personally? Are you on ChatGPT of an evening? Sir Keir: No, but my

Imagine if AI labs deliberately developed exceedingly powerful, categorically malicious, unstoppable-in-the-wild advanced AI… replicated it en masse, and then actually deployed it in a “secure” sandbox so it could be studied. Terrible idea, right? That’s effectively how
The research has no--zero--civilian applications. The sole application is bioweapons development. The sole potential products are weapons of mass destruction.

In all my years skirting the fringes of right-wing groups, I’ve never once been at a meeting or rally where a crowd openly chanted death to anyone, let alone thousands screaming it in unison.

We're profitable, working with some of the world's best companies and researchers, and our tiny, talented team is shipping like crazy. Could not be more bullish about @hashai's mission to "help everybody make the right decisions" after @ARIA_research's first ever summit 🇬🇧
