🤓 Anthropic recently release a threat report that shows how threat actors are using their model Claude. Here are some of the highlights:
・ Vibe hacking: Criminals are using Claude Code to perform real intrusions, doing reconnaissance, extortion, at a scale that one human alone could not reach
・ Remote worker fraud: North Korean IT workers are simulating professional competence through AI at Fortune 500 companies
・ No-code malware: Threat actors with little technical skill are generating ransomware-as-a-service packages with evasion techniques and selling them for about $400
・ Fraud at scale: Carding stores, romance scams and synthetic identities, AI is embedded across the fraud supply chain and make it even more easy for them
I think it is interesting to see how threat actors are leveraging AI as those patterns are the ones you may want to detect in your future AI systems.

Why do we venerate books? Why do we treat them as if they're more than merely the medium for whatever is in them? After all, we don't adore all bottles just because some of them contain water.
We're at a juncture in human history where we might be witnessing the decline of the book. If we retain the love of knowledge and of entertainment, would it matter if we lose books?
@JonnyT Totally. I listen to lots of podcasts. Some of them are essays that previously would've been in magazines.
But I don't feel that listening is truly the equivalent of reading. Do you?
It is for me in the sense that it's almost my only means of doing it these days.
And, if you are visually impaired, it is definitely so.
Edit: I also tend to read books digitally these days as well, when I do get the opportunity. The only time I have for it is in bed at night, and this way is the least disturbing to my partner - no additional lighting required.
Is there a way to disable animated profile picture on #Mastodon ?

Le chapitre des Twitterfiles français s'ouvre enfin !
#politique #censure #médias #désinformation
Contexte : en 2022, suite au rachat de Twitter par Elon Musk, ce dernier ouvrait à une demi douzaine de journalistes la messagerie interne de l'entreprise, ouvrant la voie à une multitude de révélations sur la façon dont Twitter, sous la pression du FBI et de ses propres équipe de modération, avait largement censuré les comptes Républicain durant la mandat de Joe Biden.
Plus récemment, à l'occasion d'un meeting à Munich, le vice président JD Vance expliquait à un publié médusé que la liberté d'expression était en danger en Europe. Un mois auparavant, lors du sommet de l'IA à Paris, le même JD Vance lançait qu'il n'était pas digne pour une démocratie d'utiliser l'IA pour censurer ses citoyens, ciblant de façon implicite le pouvoir français.
Le bras de fer mené par les USA envers l'UE, qui à ce stade à réussi à imposer des tarfis douaniers sans la moindre réciprocité de la part de l'Europe, ne s'arrête pas en si bon chemin. A de multiples occasion, Donald Trump comme JD Vance ont annoncé vouloir mener une guerre contre les législations contraignant les Big Tech américaines, avec en ligne de mire le DSA et Thierry Breton.

"Jacquelyn Schneider saw a disturbing pattern, and she didn’t know what to make of it.
Last year Schneider, director of the Hoover Wargaming and Crisis Simulation Initiative at Stanford University, began experimenting with war games that gave the latest generation of artificial intelligence the role of strategic decision-makers. In the games, five off-the-shelf large language models or LLMs — OpenAI’s GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and GPT-4-Base; Anthropic’s Claude 2; and Meta’s Llama-2 Chat — were confronted with fictional crisis situations that resembled Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or China’s threat to Taiwan.
The results? Almost all of the AI models showed a preference to escalate aggressively, use firepower indiscriminately and turn crises into shooting wars — even to the point of launching nuclear weapons. 'The AI is always playing Curtis LeMay,' says Schneider, referring to the notoriously nuke-happy Air Force general of the Cold War. 'It’s almost like the AI understands escalation, but not de-escalation. We don’t really know why that is.'
If some of this reminds you of the nightmare scenarios featured in blockbuster sci-fi movies like 'The Terminator,' 'WarGames' or 'Dr. Strangelove', well, that’s because the latest AI has the potential to behave just that way someday, some experts fear. In all three movies, high-powered computers take over decisions about launching nuclear weapons from the humans who designed them."

I started on a brief gig on a tv show this month, and I have to say, I LOVE MY JOB. Making art for yourself is awesome, but there is something about working on a team for something bigger that I just adore.
The cool thing about this project too is that it's 90% stuff I'm comfortable with, and 10% stuff I've never done before...so I get to stretch, but I don't feel super anxious.
