Looking for new posts…
If you know nothing about AI or cyber, both Dwarkesh and Chamath's takes are comforting shadows on the cave wall. The former interprets AI as having human-like motivations, the latter frames this entire incident as a psyop by people as cynical and unethical as him. More soon.

For anyone who avoided reading that Dwarkesh piece, too bad because I need you to at least experience this pain with me. https://t.co/Xxx18fCn8J

Proud to have @corridor's logo on this.
AI is already massively uplifting attacker capabilities. I have compared it to every threat actor being promoted to the Premier League; there are no longer second tier groups lacking ability to do 0-day discovery and exploit development.

Hey, @TsentaAi, are you bouncing your spammy AI job applications off of residential proxies? Do these people (and ISPs) know you are ruining their IP reputation and making it impossible for the people actually in that home to find a job? Does @ycombinator know about this? https:/

Thank you to @DKThomp for the chance to talk about this summer's cybersecurity and AI craziness and what it means for the future on the Plain English Podcast. It's a challenge communicating these issues to the broader public but Derek is a pro.

I would love to see a tiger team drawn from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google (who apparently knows how to jail models) AISI, and independent experts take a look at all these escapes and quickly publish industry guidelines on isolation/airgaps/data diodes. https://t.co/z9nTn3tnab

The only upside I can see from this whole mess is that there is a whole bunch of VCs with former or current Administration affiliation who we can now safely ignore on AI policy.
They have shown that everything they ever said on AI regulation was just politically motivated.

For all the “This is what Anthropic wanted” people/bots. No, they didn’t. They didn’t want a stupid, knee-jerk response on a Friday. We give the USG huge powers, this is why you staff it with competent, calm, non-corrupt people who don’t use those powers to punish enemies.

@alexstamos I’d peg Amazon as the guilty party here. When the CEO of a big trusted tech company tells gov “this is bad,” of course they will freak out. Amazon should have known better and possibly had ulterior motives.

This was a huge own goal for the US, and we will see how bad US models get over the next six months and if Chinese models become noticeably better for cyber work.

In short, Anthropic's blog is saying: We have always cared about safety, we did a good job initially, the actual AI experts in USG agreed, we proved it, we will come up with standards so these things are better communicated, welcome to the AI safety club Trump admin.

4) There is no good scoring framework for jailbreaks; this would be an improvement. The inclusion of Amazon as the first name in the coalition is not an accident. Anthropic is saying "Amazon's inability to appropriately communicate severity threw our industry into chaos". https:/

"No big deal, just join the trusted group!" the apologists will say, but the restrictions mean you can't build a product on those models. Security companies and startups that provide services to others will now be driven to use Chinese models. Big win for PRC labs this month.

3) CAISI is the group that is supposed to actually make these determinations, not the political actors in the White House. They were positive on the prior safeguards. The implication is that this whole thing was unnecessary. https://t.co/AnRIm8ohws

2) Anthropic makes the cost of this White House freakout clear. US labs now have to make a much more conservative precision-recall tradeoff on cyber refusals. US models will become much less useful for defensive cybersecurity work unless you are in the trusted group. https://t.co
