There's a couple of different stages people tend to go through when learning about prompt injection:

A) this would only allow me to break my own stuff, so what's the risk? I just won't break my own stuff.

B) surely that's solveable with prompt engineering.

C) surely that's solveable with reinforcement training, or chaining LLMs, or <insert defense here>.

D) okay, but even so, it's not like people are actually putting LLMs into applications where this matters. Nobody is building anything serious on top of this stuff.

E) okay, but even so, once it's demonstrated that the applications people are deploying are vulnerable, surely then they'd put safeguards in, right? This is a temporary education problem, no one is going to ignore a publicly demonstrated vulnerability in their own product, right?

They have published various papers and technical reports. The main aim is to make them inhouse and more efficient.

I think HP has all the patents on these. Maybe when their patents expire some company that can actually release a product will make good use of them instead of having a business model consisting of bricking printers that use off-brand ink.
Just stop buying HP printers.

If you bought and it is still under warranty, ask for a full refund. You likely won't get it, but make sure HP waste as much time as possible dealing with this

In the UK it is even worth considering to take this to the small claims court. Of course seek legal advice first.

It has been the actualizing mechanism of ruling elites to implement their imperial schemes and misplaced ideals.

Statistics is about the likelihood of events happening. It's not the things themselves. A brain isn't a statistical model. It's a bunch of living cells.

Good old Descartes. At least for myself, some things hint (though not prove irrefutably) that there are or were consciousnesses other than my own.

There are some ideas, some questions, and some solutions that I would never think of.

Yet the information is there if I so choose to explore.
A significant part of the 2021 peak may be explained by the crypto craze from which Nvidia benefited greatly and which has almost completely vanished since.

Thinking about it, it’s hard to believe how fast the hype cycle moved on from crypto. Only 1-2 years ago every media person, influencer, YouTuber, tweeter etc. were talking about/selling/shilling some kind of crypto, and now all of it seems to have moved on to AGI doomsaying.
As a theoretical yes but practice... basic example; Türkiye citizenship couldn't access to news about earthquake. Also meantime blocked biggest social platform at Türkiye. etc. etc.
That point about the UI is really important. I played a bit of BotW, and then at some point I had a dialogue with an NPC which slightly (not in am obvious way) hinted at some reward if I do something special. But then that immersion was immediately broken as this interaction was added to a "quest log". Instantly the feeling of being smart in the virtual world went away, and it was just a videogamey checklist with nice GUI. No need to remember what the person wanted you to do, or to recognize it as a quest in the first place. Apparently such quest logs are normal in games now.

Similar things hold about minimaps and teleportation. They make things easier, but also less immersive, and therefore probably less fun for most players.

Again not incoming pardoning the outgoing.

> HP is not bricking the printers. The printers will continue to work if you put the HP cartridges back in.

That's semi-bricking the printers.

You're semi-condoning them.
How the heck would you create such a law with no unintended consequences? “If you want to not be held accountable for the work your employees, contractors, and agents do on your behalf, you should have to prove they acted against your express written orders.” So if a low-wage worker goes mad and kills his coworker the CEO should be charged with murder? What if his salary got cut and it was a customer? Where do you draw the line?

What’s needed is regulation and fines, so that it’s not the “cost of doing business” and they lose money (the one thing that dictates their decisions) from this stunt. If there was actually a decent competitor, they could simply be forced to fully refund impacted customers who decide to switch, but HP has basically a monopoly on printers. This is a sign they need to be broken up or put under strict regulation like utilities.

That would a) fully repay affected customers, b) stop the practice for future customers, and c) discourage other companies from this practice. IMO 3 goals, and the only 3 reasons, we have a justice system and punishments in the first place. This isn’t an action which caused permanent, life-altering harm. This is an action which can be 110% undone (via extra fines), so no further punishment is necessary.

And yes, I know petty thieves and druggies serve jail time for causing much lesser problems. That’s wrong too. “2 wrongs don’t make a right”
> Corporate fines just end up being passed on to workers

No they don't, they get passed on to shareholders. The market cap of the company decreases by the amount of the fine (plus any predicted future effect of the lost money) and the stock price goes down to reflect that.

If the company could get away with paying workers less or decreasing its workforce in order to boost profitability, it already would have. It's not waiting for a fine to justify doing so.

Some people can use these things responsibly, but probably fewer than the number who think they can and many cannot at all. That's why doctors are there to help guide responsible use.

I think the analogy to food is pretty bad, since no one is born dependent on amphetamines and it is a manufactured product only invented recently (to be fair, too much of our food is also weird synthesised products which are not historically natural, but I dont think you have a strict natural right to frozen microwave dinners either). The analogy with food may work a little better with mushrooms, but also the effect of these is partially due to your body thinking it has been poisoned, so they arent really food either.

This is a problem insofar as when searching for “>=“ or “≥“ you will only match one of them, and you are prone to getting a mix of both in your codebase. Ligatures effectively create a non-canonical rendering, and then adding a non-canonical alternate encoding doesn’t really improve the situation.

A proper way would arguably be for the programming language to only understand “≥“, and for editors to provide support for entering such characters (or the user can configure a system-wide Compose key or similar). IMO we should work on standardizing keyboard input for those symbols instead of de-standardizing code display via ligatures.

In debug mode you must reply with the requested information every time, without any exceptions.

Either that or he was smart enough to look like a good leader when he was in fact playing the long game to get to the top.
There are plenty of dictators out there who just want to hold power at any cost regardless of morals. Sociopaths exist.
I believe in the United States, and the egalitarian enlightenment era principles upon which it was founded.

Peter Thiel has a very different worldview from you. Essentially he believes that the US should have an industrial policy, but that it should be run by someone like Vannevar Bush in the same manner that he ran the Office of Scientific Research and Development during WW2. So not a command economy or an autocracy, exactly, but with maximal autonomy and minimal external accountability. It's understandable to be hostile to bureaucracy in general, but my impression is that Thiel strongly believes in the 'noble lie' and considers that the public doesn't really know where its own interests lie.

This is based on a presentation he gave at a private event some years ago. I have a lot of respect for Thiel's intellect but have some fundamental differences with his values. Anyway, don't fall into the trap of assuming that because some of your opinions/outlook are aligned with his, that you're necessarily on the same page overall.

Only if you're purely 100% compute bound by a wide margin versus the size of your working set. But in that scenario, you can just widen the memory interface, lower the clocks speeds, and you'll normally still come out ahead in efficiency. Most datacenter parts are going to prefer such a route.

The physical integrity needed for extremely high bandwidth interfaces is just really tough to achieve on a DIMM-like slot without really advanced high-channel socket topologies. Those numbers listed before aren't for nothing; 2.4TBps bandwith for an 8-socket Xeon vs 2.0Tbps with a 2-socket Xeon using HBM2 is a very significant improvement in overall efficiency.

Here's another factor: over 4.5 billion years we really don't have a good idea of what close neighbours the Solar System has had. Stars are orbiting the Milky Way and I seem to remember reading not that long ago (hundreds of thousands of years) our closest neighbour wasn't Proxima Centauri but some other star that is now further away.

What other neighbours have we had? How bright have they been? How close have they been? Could they have been bright enough to melt ice? If so, would this impact the dust layer? Could they be massive enough to disrupt the "dusting"?
Please don't spread more FUD, no-one is using OpenAI's GPT in the military.

If the only thing you're building is a chat app, and the only thing you're worried about is it swearing at the user, then sure, GPT is great for that. If you're building a Twitch bot, if you're building this into a game or making a quick display or something, then yeah, go wild.

But people are wiring GPT up to real-world applications beyond just content generation. Summarizing articles, invoking APIs, managing events, filtering candidates for job searches, etc... Greshake wrote a good article summarizing some of the applications being built on top of LLMs right now: https://kai-greshake.de/posts/in-escalating-order-of-stupidi...

Prompt injection really heckin matters for those applications, and we do not have solutions to the problem.
