We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo.

We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.

@adamgreatkind @OpenAI Thanks Adam. Not at the moment, but we'll see!

[Vinnie Monaco @vinmonaco]

Career update: I joined @OpenAI. My focus will be on data privacy engineering. I'm really looking forward to new the collaborations and challenges that lie ahead.

A new study finds 3,000 websites on which third-party tracking companies scoop up what you type into forms in real time — even if you never hit submit. This happens on about 1,800 websites for E.U. users too, likely in violation of the GDPR. https://t.co/AIxIsiM9Fc

In our @IEEESP 2022 paper #NoiseSDR, @aurelsec and I build a software-defined radio transmitter out of unprivileged software and electromagnetic noise, with applications in exfiltration, tracking and injection in other receivers.

A debate on the topic of neuromorphic computing,
On the pro side: @boahen_k and Ralph Etienne-Cummings.
On the not-so-pro side: Bill Dally and yours truly.

Proud to present this short report on the outcomes of and learnings from #NetHackChallenge21, held at @NeurIPSConf. Did DeepRL win the day, or did symbolic challengers surprise us all? What do the results tell us about next steps for AI? Read to find out!

Congratulations to @yuxiwu her for #SP22 (Oakland) paper acceptance!

We systematized extant human-centered work on #social #cybersecurity — i.e., work exploring S&P behaviors and threats in an ecosystem of inter-connectedness and influence.

I won't be as research active in my new role but I do plan to continue some academic/gov collaboration. The team is also rapidly growing, so please DM me if you're interested in joining!!

This week, I joined @Visa's security engineering team as a lead data scientist.

[Vinnie Monaco @vinmonaco]

I was drawn by the prospect of my work having an immediate impact, continuing to focus on the problems I enjoy, and most important, an awesome team.

In our new @IEEESSP 2022 paper, we measured the use of email encryption on a large longitudinal field data set (@Ch_Stransky, Oliver Wiese, Volker Roth and @yazz_acar). Our data set spans 27 years, 37k users and 81m emails.

[Edward Raff @EdwardRaffML]

ML in Cyber can have crazy constraints, like FPR < 0.001%, but how do you build your model to satisfy this? Surprisingly a lot of errors and little work studying low FP. Paper with @AndreNguyen16 @cknicholas starts to look at this problem! @IJCAIconf https://t.co/ZpQz0ojYWI

On the macbook air, the peak at 125Hz for mousemove events suggests the touchpad is a USB 1.1 device. There's no peak in the keydown PSD, suggesting a PS/2 connection.

This does incremental PSD and fundamental frequency estimation from DOM event times. Work in progress. Source/issues here: https://t.co/mT7d9IAdDQ

The browser event loop typically runs at 60Hz, trying to match screen refresh rate. But the exact Hz differs slightly between machines.
