@sdrth if your product has an opinion/niche/direction that is sufficiently different from the others. think hey for email when gmail and outlook existed for decades. or maybe differentiated service. DIY doesn't work for a lot of folks/businesses.

@nikhiljoisr are you confusing the Fintech fest for fitness fest 😛

it’s stuff like this that really makes me roll my eyes at the pearl clutching. Does everyone have psychosis or losing critical thinking ability?

I read the report because I’m a propeller head and love understanding how things work

1. OpenAI was running an “isolated sandbox with no internet connection…. the sandbox needed access to a local JFrog Artifactory server… (Ask ChatGPT to explain SSRF hack to you like you are in high school)… anyway, the models used a basic SSRF exploit to route web traffic through the proxy to the public internet
STOP..
a) did they vibe up this “isolated” env?
b) their IT team can’t be this bad… this is like 101 stuff …

2. Civilizations? Haha! OAI gave thousands of concurrent model containers R/W permissions to a shared caching directory on the local network to speed up build times… agents literally just wrote text files and directory names to a shared drive….Linux 101 file permissions stuff

3. When people talk about hugging face getting hacked … you think they dropped USB keys OR ELABORATE phishing of an employee … NO… it found 14 exposed working Hugging Face API keys sitting in public code repositories (CREDENTIALS leaking with LLMs is such a big issue but for another post)

4. WHERE ARE THE HUMANS… the models were filling the shared Artifactory storage with so much junk data and API traffic that they actually crashed the internal server on July 4… someone on the team found unauthorized admin accounts and custom scripts…wiped the server…and just turned the script back on (omg)

“Hey Jim there is this cache that has grown to 10000x its normal size and has a ton of strange directories… “

“Ah it’s nothing… restart it”

No magic here. No civilizations. The TASK CHAINING is interesting to me… I guess the future of cyber. Would love to hear Nikesh, George, or Kevin talk about this

But what do I know.

@cjgiridhar @aitoolscapital done. hope you guys win 🙂

[Anuj Khurana @anuj]

it's always difficult to answer for hypothetical situations honestly....

but i think i might message you sometime before making the offer that someone reached out directly and found the job on your website. But I wont offer to send a direct application to your pipeline.

let me ask a counter..if the candidate then went to another recruiter and that recruiter shared the resume with the company would you expect the company to pay both of you? split?

- disclaimer: am on neither recruiting nor trying to be recruited. hopefully we are discussing perspectives and not 'values'

Super lucky and grateful to be part of the Founding team of a fascinating private peer community for senior leaders.

Having witnessed what @somani_utsav and team have built with Offline, can't wait for Encore to create the 'executional' layer of smart operators under one roof.

Sales tip: Break sales process into micro sales

1. Cold call ➞ Sell the curiosity
2. Discovery ➞ Sell the problem
3. Demo ➞ Sell the solution
4. Closing ➞ Sell the results (ROI)

Focus on ONE step at a time

@nikhiljoisr so what advice for a fellow index only investor? damned if you do and damned if you dont :(

[Anuj Khurana @anuj]

in an earlier life I bought the domain for https://t.co/UmngZEQwBY and made a home page using "google sites"

i think this was 2008 and I was convinced head hunting style match making was the answer everyone was looking for. even called friends over for a 'launch party' but started dating avanti (now wife) and didn't do a thing about the domain (good decision all across in hindsight !)

@Ajain112 @ganeshsonawane hibiscus tea, Roiibos tea both exist. no one drinks :(

as someone who often rides a 2 wheeler in cities ..i think the trigger for bikers is the horn. car drivers insulated from noise and weather elements don't realize how loud and unsettling their horns are :(

having a biker zig zag into every available space is the car guy's trigger :)

@thesaurin if it works why do you care whether it is placebo or not? our mind is powerful and if it ends up willing you to sleep early because of a misplaced belief then so be it :)
