Formerly at kCura/Relativity, security. I do application penetration testing for hire these days. Happy to chat about application security, programming, and ham radio. My conversations about agriculture are not that interesting.

“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.

I am haunted by waters.”

Beware the anxiety industrial complex.

One key factor is the extent to which OpenAI is not paying attention. Additionally their Blackhat presentation was very self serving. The way to protect against rouge AI is to buy more AI?

Also giving METR limited time and visibility clearly limited the discovery of what was really going on.
