This is not good governance. It is a regime waging war on its own people. No one should vote for the BJP or Mr Modi. 10 years ago they made them stand in line for their own money; Now they are being made to crawl for their identity as citizens with rights.

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

It continues to baffle me that we don't just treat this like a normal crime with normal liability.

OpenAI is routinely hacking other companies. These are crimes! But somehow the idea of holding them liable is just absent from the safety conversation, like agents don't count.

We now have "VIP voters" being recognized by the Chief Election Officer of Karnataka. Which section of the Representation of the People Act, 1950 allows for "VIP voters" to be recognised?

Have we abolished Article 14 of the Constitution?

Crucially, OpenAI did _not_ reveal this attack. This article makes it sound like they disclosed it, but in reality we had to dig it up. We can't trust OpenAI to notice and disclose these incidents.

By not pursuing criminal charges or civil damages against openAI for the cyberattack, hugging face has deprived the american legal system the opportunity to develop a legal precedent for how to manage accountability for AI agents

Is this a joke? Estimated 2.5-3 lakh students, more than half from outside Delhi-- & DU will add *checks notes* 5500 hostel seats over next 5 years!

Shameful! There is no urgency, no plan, no vision. This sort of joke is what encourages a market for shady unsafe housing!

Personally, if I was running a 100B+ corporation that had recently accidentally committed cyber attacks against multiple web platforms I would be dropping millions of dollars to spin up 10k+ agents to work on security instead of solving math problems.

[Alvaro Lozano-Robledo @mathandcobb]

Btw Andreas Thom is now also wondering outloud whether OpenAI used his personal user data to train the model to find a non-sofic group...

Terry Tao is probably the most measured, pro-AI mathematician on the planet - which makes this quote especially concerning to read. 😟

If sharing your hunches means getting scooped ~immediately without acknowledgement, then we're going to see not just math but all other science / engineering disciplines go dark.

[Elliot Glazer @ElliotGlazer]

This is one of my biggest questions right now. What EXACTLY does OpenAI commit to when you turn this off?

[Delip Rao e/σ @deliprao]

Thinking of the consequence of this close to home, I am 100% convinced peer review will die very soon, at least the version we use today in AI conferences like @ReviewAcl, @RealAAAI, @iclr_conf, @NeurIPSConf, and others.

To make peer review effective, these conferences typically allow you to bid on submission abstracts related to your work. So, in theory, if you are ethically dubious, you can take the submission abstract from the bidding phase and prompt the hell out of it, and reconstruct the submission in a matter of days and arXiv it. It will look different from the original obviously, which will allow you to claim it, like OpenAI did, as "concurrent work".

If we think is a black-hat thinking exercise and unlikely to happen at scale, we will be wrong -- the incentives to have AI papers has become so wild and, unlike Navier-Stokes, most AI papers at conferences can be replicated at trivial costs that this form of cheating will be irresistible to many.
