Wait … what? So if I have 10 million dollars, and I need it to be secure and know it’s there, how do I do that?

FDIC doesn’t insure past 250k. Smart move is to buy short term bonds, right?

Or do you think I should keep 10 million in currency?

Open source was never about doing stuff for free - at least not originally.

It’s about the definition of ownership. What does it mean to own a program?

When you distribute the program, you must also distribute the code for it. That’s open source.

How does this compare to the conspiracy theories floating around?

I’ve been hearing something like this from very disreputable sources.

That’s confusing because I was taught whether something is vowel or consonant is the spoken, not written, truth.

“Vampires pretending to be humans pretending to be vampires.”

Right but they might be incredibly interested in learning about them.

They just copy humans. Thats it. So if it’s the sort of thing a human finds interesting…

There’s no efficient way to do anything with homomorphic encryption.

What worries me is the non-frontier models, which is what the frontier models eventually become.

The small open models are getting better and better too.

And why worry so much about a frontier models - own weights. The model doesn’t - actually don’t quote me on that, maybe it does.

If a model does something sneaky, it could easily grab the weights for a small model and run it on foreign, compromised infrastructure.

AI virus’ are a thing of the future, but not a sci-fi future, and real one.

Maybe one reason it’s so scary is the murky origin of COVID-19.

Silicon Valley: “I’m not saying we should murder the competition, because that would be illegal. But is there some way we could … well .. maybe … hmm … I’m sure you’ll think of something!”

I would love to move to Vienna. Really, I’d sell my house and go right now if I could.

I can’t. Immigration and language barriers alone would prevent (even though I have family there).

My point is just that Vienna doesn’t have to deal with tons of people constantly showing up.

I’ve never known a security team to be in the position to say “no.” The role of security teams vary a lot from one organization to another.

But generally they can make you aware of the tradeoffs you are making, or serve as a kind of quality control that generally does not want to be asked questions.

Regulatory teams are about external compliance. That’s different from “chief ethicist.”

It’s a little unclear what this person was doing. But ensuring compliance with government regulations was probably not their core function.

For a second, I thought Hepatitis C was some 1980s C dialect that had memory safety issues.

Always tempted, but never enough.
