"You should get paid twice at when you're at work. You should get paid your check and then you should get paid through education."

@cheferick is absolutely right, whether it's in a restaurant like his or in other fields such as cybersecurity, this idea is so important

[CBS Mornings @CBSMornings]

After honing his skills for more than two decades, @cheferick  opened up his own fine-dining restaurant in Chicago called “Virtue” that’s serving up southern-based food and his “great grandmother’s hospitality.” #TheDish

@ImposeCost I also reject that it immediately means "do better." Sometimes you're lose. I'm team "learn from this."

You might find you made mistakes, so you do need to do better. You might find that you did everything right, but the other side has a plan as well

[AI Village @ DEF CON @aivillage_dc]

GRT2 at DEF CON is for everyone. Check out the blogs at https://t.co/6UAyeksKMR and to learn about the event and prepare to generate LLM reports. We’re also hosting a workshop at DEF CON 32 to enable anyone to try to capture-the-flags and win a cash prize ($50 - $200).

Very excited that I will be presenting my ML security work (@trailofbits) at HOPE XV (@hopeconf)! I’ll be talking all about incubated ML exploits. Catch me tomorrow at 4 PM!

For model devs releasing LLMs in the open through @huggingface, it's currently impossible to protect those against malicious finetuning. But what if there was a way to "immunize" them?

In this work led by @domenic_rosati, we do exactly that! 1/5

[Black Hat @BlackHatEvents]

In #BHUSA trainings “Black Hat Machine Learning” this course will provide students with a realistic environment and methodology to explore the unique risks presented by the use of ML in today's environments.

This. The problem with cybersecurity is that almost everything that is taught about it is based on high level abstractions generated by people who never found a single software vulnerability in their lives.

This is a problem because cyber offense works on a concrete level, and with concrete vulnerabilities. ALWAYS! When a hacker attacks an organization, he doesn't attack some abstract Asset X or Perimeter Z, he attacks a Specific Vulnerability in Specific Code of Specific Software with an Extremely Specific Exploit (although code flavours and techniques may vary). When you don't have a practical grasp of this low level, your cyber defense is guaranteed to look a bit like this to us:

(I'm processing interest responses from my upcoming Cybersecurity course - with a little help from ChatGPT, of course, but this one caught my attention)

@rharang @josephtlucas I just threw up a bit in my mouth upon seeing this
