We’re starting with decision making in small teams but that’s where we’re headed

[Paco Villetard @pacovilletard]

We're coming out of stealth to announce our cyber defense research lab.

We are exploring data and post-training techniques to build superhuman cyber defenders.

Our mission is to make sure the West always wins.

The last 3 months we've built an automated data pipeline to create training data from 80k CVEs (aka public vulnerabilities).

Our next topic? Post training a model that's better at fixing all the vulnerabilities in your codebase.
Like really fixing them.
Not saying it's secure when there are still ways to exploit them.

Here are the questions that keep us awake at night:

How do you train a model to defend without improving its capabilities to attack? What's the right reward? How to measure the defense capabilities? How do you create synth training data that reproduces real systems? What kind of access do you give an ai cyber defender? How far can you trust it?

If you know insanely good cyber experts (red team, blue team, CTF aficionados) or ML engineers (synth data generation and post-training models), send them my way.

We need to make models far better at defending.

@alixanfang @sundarpichai yep!

@paulg This is a more general principle of authority: have 2 heads rather than 1. Applies to consultants who have manager and a client. SWEs who have a manager and a PM etc.

If @figmadesign shares this, I swear we will build a @photoroom_app Figma plugin.

After language and images, the next frontier of AI will be understanding people

Most interesting recycling of the « flatten the curve » graph I’ve seen so far

I'll be curious to see the global temperature graphs after coronavirus: will the sudden travel & pollution decline have a visible effect?

@paulg I would argue that in sport, esp. in cycling, there is a suspicion of doping on athletes.

@2lr I remember reading in “the hard thing about hard things” by @bhorowitz that most of his clients were dot com companies. In 2000, consanguinity was not the cause of the burst but it increased its impact.

Bravo @AlbizzatiAlice et @ElinaBerrebi qui lancent @GaiaCapital pour financer la croissance des start-ups françaises ! Un bel exemple d’ambition et de mixité. cc @wearesista https://t.co/NKOHG774iC

Yet another amazing Stratechery article. On China this time. The latest South Park is also on this topic and a must see! https://t.co/okSNjiWgo0

Best story I’ve read so far on how behaviors such as Weinstein’s can cause so much suffering. https://t.co/GwAlOuu0hi

So true...

Reactions to the next 40 announcement are an illustration of the influence of the French government. Every startup is communicating about it, thereby implicitly validating it.

Startup idea: a GV sprint tool for remote teams. I love sprint but it heavily relies on collaboration on a white board with sticky notes, stickers, etc.
