NIST has a useful paper on AI guardrails

The takeaway is that static guardrails are the wrong security model for open-ended LLM systems.

A finite set of rules cannot cover every adaptive prompt. You can harden the system, make bypasses harder, monitor for abuse and reduce the blast radius. But you should not patch an LLM once, add a few refusal rules and call it done.

LLM security needs to look more like vuln research and detection engineering:
continuous testing, continuous updates and an assumption that bypasses will eventually be found

This is really big news. Google introduced the Open Knowledge Format (OKF) - a standardized way to store information in a directory of markdown files. Makes it really easy to make a digital brain that agents can use.

These files can serve as a living wiki. You can give agents the ability to query them or edit them. They can interlink.

Seems to me this could replace Notion or Obsidian. I can think of so many uses for this.

An easier to understand explanation is the SPEC.md file:

I gave those two links to Antigravity and asked how we could use it for any of the projects we're working on. It came up with so many ideas. I would imagine Claude Fable 5 would whip up some pretty amazing things based on this system.

Currently creating an OKF library of our pepper garden. It's going to be a fun weekend.

@iam_elias1 Ok, now do it for 1 year and report back.

@cowboybebop525 @NoLimitGains @grok Obviously deleted all other wrong predictions 🤣.

@snowogrodzki @cowboybebop525 @NoLimitGains @grok If they're close, they leave the tweet up, all the other times (wrong) they obviously deleted. As they say, a broken clock is right twice a day.

@NoLimitGains Enjoy tax day next year.

Where's the conviction? BTC and metals have tanked the most but you'll hold them over equities. Are you just a panic selling retail trader?

Proof on calling tops and bottoms? You don't have it like everyone else who thinks they can predict the market.

It's great that AWS already shared a postmortem, and we can understand some things that went wrong, starting the outage.

A summary of the events, based on what the AWS team shared

[Cindy Sridharan @copyconstruct]

Asked ChatGPT to analyze the very long write up and come up with ASCII diagrams explaining the most recent AWS outage that took out us-east-1 in 4 diagrams …

For those who don’t want to read walls of text, this might help

It's weird how symmetrical things are.

When the left wanted to avoid criticized as "woke", they claimed nobody could define it.

Now the right wants to avoid being criticized as "fascist", so they claim nobody can define it.

Of course, while the uneducated use these terms as pure insults, educated people actually mean something by them, and yes, know how to define them.

"Wokism" is divisive, intolerant, racist, performative, orthodox, focused on identity politics, and silences critics cancel culture.

"Fascism" is nationalist, populist, authoritarian, and in love with brutality.

For example, one of the most defining features of fascism as seen in Germany, Italy, and Spain was the ide of making their country "great again". That alone starts us on the path of comparing "MAGA" to "fascism".

Full video of the Chicago delivery guy is even better than what was originally posted….bro said "F*ck Trump" to their faces and dropped his phone and was still able to grab the phone and get away from the fat slobs 💪
