True. You’re merely forced to be subject to their decisions, made on behalf of and in the interest of people who aren’t you.

[edit] I’m getting the sense that if we just restructure this so the union exists and does normal union stuff but you don’t have to “be a member” (but do have to abide by its decisions or else leave, as with a board) you’d be ok with it? Like it’s mainly a semantic problem?

> What are ANY consequential impacts of prompt injection other that the user is able to get information out of the LLM that was put into the LLM?

The impact of prompt injection is provoking arbitrary, unintended behavior from the LLM. If the LLM is a simple chatbot with no tool use beyond retrieving data, that just means “retrieving data different than the LLM operator would have anticipated” (and possibly the user—prompt injection can be done by data retrieved that the user doesn't control, not just the user themselves, because all data processed by the LLM passes through as part of a prompt).

But if the LLM is tied into a framework where it serves as an agent with active tool use, then the blast radius of prompt injection is much bigger.

A lot of the concern about prompt injection isn't about currently popular applications of LLMs, but the applications that have been set out as near term possibilities that are much more powerful.

True, but it isn't worth a thief's time to steal things from me, so I'm less a target of dishonest people. Not zero target, but not a big target. Rich people because they have money are a larger target.

That's what I am saying...it's not up to him. It's up to him if he wants to lay people off right before he has a sale scheduled. But what he most definitely did not and cannot do is: lay people off, observe that the stock went up, decide to make a sale.

Hi HN, Creator here!

Holoib is a platform that allows you to create interactive product demos in minutes and share them via a link or embedding them anywhere.

I developed this product out of my own need. While there are already several similar products in the market, I saw the potential in this space and had some unique plans to integrate into my product. However, before proceeding, I felt it was important to gather feedback from real users.

If you try Holoib, I hope that you have a great experience! I would love to hear any feedback or suggestions. Thank you :)

In my eyes, the real problem is that there is no cost effective developer access to high end cards, like the MI300x. This breaks the developer flywheel that you would normally point at consumer cards for.

Where can you rent time on one? Traditionally, AMD has only helped build super computers, like Frontier and El Capitan, out of these cards.

This time around Azure [0] and other CSP's (cloud service providers) are working to change that. I will have the best of the best of their cards/systems for rent soon.

As someone who lived through that era and had an atari 2600 it was really a combo of two things.

#1. The games on the atari were not games that you spent hours playing, they were very simple, space invader, pacman etc, and were not entirely that fun.

#2. Nintendo. Once the NES(1985) came out with mario bros. and duck hunt it was a like a tsunami of incredible game play that gamers had never experienced before besides maybe at the arcade. The games for the NES just kept getting better and better, Zelda, Mario Bros. 3 while the atari was languishing with its older technology and stable of boring games.

Atari fought back in terms of technology with the Jaguar(1993) but once again even with better technology you still need great games, and the jaguar did not have mario, zelda, and a host of other fun games that nintendo(snes had been out for two years now), and also genesis had. By that time the writing was on the wall and Atari was in its death throes.

So the trope of atari having a ton of unlicensed games being the demise of the 2600 platform is not true at all. I would have to say it really boils down to just the stable of quality games that nintendo and later genesis possessed and atari just didn't have access to.
Your suspicion is correct. Perhaps :D

I've got a technique where I simply record every spike event, its tick, source & target in a SQL database. This allows for quick recursive queries for determining contributors to output. I feel if we stop chasing biological emulation and superscalar, we can start to get clever with more traditional data-wrangling methods.

I don't think the answer to a high quality SNN model is going to require purpose-built hardware or a supercomputer to run. I think you will see emergence even with extremely rudimentary single core CPU-bound models if everything else is done well.

Event-driven is a superpower when architected correctly in software. This means you can pick clever algorithms and lazily-evaluate the network. Implications being that networks that would ordinarily be impossible to simulate in real time can now be simulated this way. You could have neuron state in offline storage that is brought online as relevant action potentials are enqueued for future execution.
Is training with user-generated content a way to launder copyrighted images? That is, if I upload an image of Ironman or whatever to my Facebook or Instagram page as a public post and Meta trains their model on that data, is there wording in my user agreement that says that I declare that I own the content, which then gives Meta plausible deniability when it comes to training with copyrighted material?

The IETF aims for rough consensus [1][2], rather than full consensus. The OpenPGP Working Group chairs have deemed that GnuPG is "in the rough" of the rough consensus [3], and that there is sufficient consensus on the crypto refresh to publish it as an RFC. If GnuPG disagrees with that outcome, they can appeal it. That would be the normal "process" to follow, which - to my knowledge - hasn't happened yet.

As for lacking focus, I'm obviously biased as one of the authors of the document, but the charter of the crypto refresh [4] was rather narrow, and aimed at modernizing the cryptographic primitives in OpenPGP. That's what the crypto refresh focused on; e.g. see [5].

This pdf[0] shows an iPod can view notes, but says you need to store them as a .txt.

This O'Reilly snippet[1] claims the feature wasn't implemented until 2003, and even then explicitly states it could only store plain text.

EDIT: The Notes app on the touch can import html files, but that doesn't sync up with either rockbox or disk mode.

So I'm completely lost at what mechanic they're referring to. Even if we assume that this was a txt file and not html, that explicitly excludes the first gen iPod.

FWIW, and IANAP, a time crystal is a structure that causes things to apparently reverse their structure back and forth without additional energy. This is similar to a spatial crystal in that the physical configuration repeats in space, except the configuration repeats in time without additional energy.

A time mirror causes a configuration to reverse in a way that’s a reflection of the original. Someone in a parallel thread gives examples of this.

They’re not the same thing.

IMO time crystals are more amazing.

> the user is able to get information out of the LLM that was put into the LLM?

Roughly:

A) that somebody other than the user might be able to get information out of the LLM that the user (not the controlling company) put into the LLM.

For example, in November https://embracethered.com/blog/posts/2023/google-bard-data-e... demonstrated a working attack that used malicious Google Docs to exfiltrate the contents of user conversations with Bard to a 3rd-party.

B) that the LLM might be authorized to perform actions in response to user input, and that someone other than the user might be able to take control of the LLM and perform those actions without the user's consent/control.

----

Don't think of it as "the user can search for a website I don't want them to find." Think of it as, "any individual website that shows up when the user searches can now change the behavior of the search engine."

Even if you're not worried about exfiltration, back in Phind's early days I built a few working proof of concepts (but never got the time to write them up) where I used the context that Phind was feeding into prompts through Bing searches to change the behavior of Phind and to force it to give inaccurate information, incorrectly summarize search results, or to refuse to answer user questions.

By manipulating what text was fed into Phind as the search context, I was able to do things like turn Phind into a militant vegan that would refuse to answer any question about how to cook meat, or would lie about security advice, or would make up scandals about other search results fed into the summary and tell the user that those sites were untrustworthy. And all I needed to get that behavior to trigger was to insert a malicious prompt into the text of the search results, any website that showed up in one of Phind's searches could have done the same. The vulnerability is that anything the user can do through jailbreaking, a 3rd-party can do in the context of a search result or some source code or an email or a malicious Google Doc.
Having ChatGPT-4 moderate Facebook would probably be even more expensive than having humans review everything.

For comparison, that's enough to have saved almost all of the jobs that were cut...

(For all those commenting on 10b5 sales: note that the layoffs were timed to match the scheduled sales so that the executives could reap the windfall from the increased stock prices resulting from the layoffs. This has been a strategy for at least a decade now and is drawing increasing scrutiny because it's basically an endrun around insider trading rules.)

To quote CGP Grey "There isn’t a rule of economics that says better technology makes more, better jobs for horses. It sounds shockingly dumb to even say that out loud, but swap horses for humans and suddenly people think it sounds about right."

I mean I don't know, maybe you're right and this will Jevons us towards even more demand for AI-assisted jobs but I think only to a point where it's still just AI complementing humans at being better and more efficient at their jobs (like LLMs are doing right now) and not outright replacing them.

As per your example, bank tellers are still here because ATMs can only dispense money and change PINs, they can't do their job but only leave the more complex stuff to be handled by less overworked humans since they don't have to do the menial stuff. Make an ATM that does everything (e.g. online banking) and there's literally nothing a bank teller needs to exist for. Most online banks don't even have offices these days. For now classical brick and mortar banks remain, but for how long I'm not sure, probably only until the next crisis when they all fold by not being competitive since they have to pay for all those tellers and real estate rents. And as per Grey's example, cars did not increase demand for horses/humans, they increased demand for cars/AGI.

Exactly my point. All other extraction industries in America are grandfathered in from before NEPA, before anyone gave a damn that a dead guy from the far past thought the stones were holy.

This may seem obvious to you and others, but giving an LLM agent write access to a database is a big no-no that is worthy of fears. There's actually a lot of really good reasons to do that from the standpoint of product usefulness! But then you've got an end-user reprogrammable agent that could cause untold mayhem to your database: overwrite critical info, exfiltrate customer data, etc.

Now the "obvious" answer here is to just not do that, but I would wager it's not terribly obvious to a lot of people, and moreoever, without making it clear what the risks are, the people who might object to doing this in an organization could "lose" to the people who argue for more product usefulness.

Yeah, but our looking is like peering at a drop of pond water (that doesn't have any macroscopic life in it) with a magnifying glass and deeming it inert.

Of the comparatively tiny 5k or so exoplanets we've discovered most would likely be difficult for advanced life to develop as they're gas giants and of the ones we've detected we've only performed atmospheric analysis on a fraction of them.

Exactly this. Prompt injection severity varies depending on the application.

The biggest risk come from applications that have tool access, but applications that can access private data have a risk too thanks to various data exfiltration tricks.
Agreed on the first point, the headline and lead-in are grossly sensationalized, but later they do pretty clearly explain what’s going on.

The article’s author says the “time mirror” means you send a signal into the experimental setup of wave guides e.g. “a-b-c” and it comes back “c-b-a”.

Furthermore, when the researchers introduce interference during the reversal they don’t see superposition as you might expect (wave-like behavior), but kinetic interactions (signals are acting like a collection of particles).

It may not be true (we know a large percentage of papers can’t be replicated I.e. they’re bullshit), and I have no context to know how important that finding would be, but it is explained.
