For Hume The Bell Tolls

One must imagine Sisyphus napping. tweets don't represent my employer. I follow a lot of people I hate (not you though)

Underappreciated cause of lib-left fighting on here is that the 80th percentile MAGA member is still dumb as a bag of rocks and the modal conversation with them is like dragging your face across cement. Very rare to find a lib as useless to talk to as the average rightoid

@Constan36865676 @EdwardLawrence If that doesn’t happen will you rethink your earlier dismissal of criticisms about Trump’s desecration of the White House

NEW: malware developers added nuclear & biological weapons text to to their spyware.

Goal? To trigger LLM safety refusals... so that their spyware wouldn't be analyzed by an AI security scanner.

Cleanest practical example I can think of for why over-indexing on first order safety alignment is risky.

When closed (and open) models ship with aggressive refusals, they will be sprinkled with second-order blindspots that attackers will discover...and exploit.

We are only in the earliest days of attackers leveraging these features, and it wouldn't surprise me if users systems that need to handle complex cybersecurity issues demand that models be less safety-blunted.

In the weeds: @SocketSecurity's post also shows why intention matters in how you design a malware analysis pipeline to avoid prompt manipulation.

H/T to colleagues that shared this with me https://t.co/f3Aj9TYxU4

@TheVonNick @_sn_n Read the next paragraph. You should wonder how many of your other beliefs are based on you being easily tricked

[For Hume The Bell Tolls @seashelljulia]

@Polo_Jeep @achterlangs That’s just normal English, you’re desperately trying to force in a moral highs ground where it doesn’t belong. “Probably rightly” is fine to say there, yes. I didn’t take the position you wanted me to, sorry.

[For Hume The Bell Tolls @seashelljulia]

@Polo_Jeep @achterlangs This doesn’t work as a rebuttal. The fundamental problem here is that you are dumb. You’ve previously heard a strong argument for something superficially similar to this and got excited to regurgitate it without realizing it doesn’t actually address what’s being discussed.

[For Hume The Bell Tolls @seashelljulia]

@Polo_Jeep @achterlangs And yes, the guy is human so he probably does care about having the tattoo. He may think, probably rightly, that it’s worth the money. Again, this isn’t a sweatshop. You’re missing where the criticism is pointed.

[For Hume The Bell Tolls @seashelljulia]

@Polo_Jeep @achterlangs You’re still trying to wedge the sweatshop argument in where it doesn’t fit. I *don’t* have 13k extra to throwaway on a cheap laugh and I would not get laughs from something like this anyway. One of the issues here is what they’re asking the guy to do. That’s not neutral or +

[For Hume The Bell Tolls @seashelljulia]

@Polo_Jeep @achterlangs If they’re willing to burn that money on humiliating someone they should just give it away. This isn’t like sweat shop labor. If they’re getting anything of value from this— presumably enjoyment— it’s because they’re degenerates who should have their money confiscated.

@PurpleWolvy22 @M_Reader2 @tracewoodgrains An ad hominem isn’t just when you’re insulted, this is another thing you don’t understand.

[For Hume The Bell Tolls @seashelljulia]

@PurpleWolvy22 @M_Reader2 @tracewoodgrains You should wonder how many of your other beliefs rest on a foundation of stuff you’ve misunderstood

[For Hume The Bell Tolls @seashelljulia]

@PurpleWolvy22 @M_Reader2 @tracewoodgrains Strongly suspected this was the reason, you’re too dumb to understand the graph. Sorry. Try harder or ask an adult to help you. Or grok I guess.

[For Hume The Bell Tolls @seashelljulia]

@PurpleWolvy22 @M_Reader2 @tracewoodgrains Why

[For Hume The Bell Tolls @seashelljulia]

@M_Reader2 @tracewoodgrains If it's graphing vote share and one line is increasing, at least one line is going to be decreasing. If all other lines are constant, exactly one line will decrease and it will decrease by the same amount that the first line increased.
