Our AI AppSec Agent + team found a DoS vulnerability in Next.js! It has been responsibly disclosed and patched. In the blog post, I explain how we found it and what you can do to protect your app.

Built with security first 🛡️ We recently partnered with @HarmonyIntel - utilizing their AI AppSec Agent to help uncover actionable security insights and further strengthen security for our users. Learn more 👇🧵

📣🔐 Looking for people with real-world AppSec experience (pentesting, vuln research, SWE w/ appsec responsibilities) for ~10h/week contract work on impactful projects at intersection of AI x cyber. World-class team. Huge learning opportunity.

📣🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️Are you an experienced Software Engineer keen to make your biggest possible positive impact on the world? 🌎 Do you........🧵

1/13 We're excited to share AutoCryptoBench: a benchmark measuring AI models' abilities to autonomously earn and use cryptocurrency without human intervention. Our goal: assess how close we are to the threat of self-sustaining AI agents. (Link to full report in this thread)

🚨 AI is evolving faster than we ever imagined. How do we stay ahead of the risks? 🚨 At Harmony Intelligence, we believe the answer lies in AI-powered defenses that outpace AI-powered threats. Cybercriminals are already using AI to launch sophisticated attacks. 🧵⬇️

📈 AI advancing rapidly, along with threats. Help us build effective defenses! We’re hiring a Software Engineer & Chief of Staff at Harmony Intelligence. Fully remote, but ideal for APAC East/US West Coast. Apply now at harmonyintelligence.com/careers!

Today, we are publishing the first-ever International AI Safety Report, backed by 30 countries and the OECD, UN, and EU. It summarises the state of the science on AI capabilities and risks, and how to mitigate those risks. 🧵 Link to full Report: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/679a0c48… 1/16

1/ 🚀🦾 How do we enjoy the benefits of AI without screwing up society? I shared my thoughts on this with @_AdamMiller_ at @Sachin_and_Adam in a mini doco.

🧵 📢 What are the risks from Artificial Intelligence? We present the first-ever AI Risk Repository: a comprehensive living database of 700+ risks extracted, with quotes and page numbers, from 43(!) existing frameworks. Read and explore here: airisk.mit.edu To categorize the identified risks, we adapt two existing frameworks into taxonomies. Our Causal Taxonomy categorizes risks based on three factors: the Entity involved, the Intent behind the risk, and the Timing of its occurrence. Our Domain Taxonomy categorizes AI risks into 7 broad domains, and 23 more specific subdomains. For example, 'Misinformation' is one of the domains, while 'False or misleading information' is one of its subdomains. 💡 Four insights from our analysis: 1️⃣ 51% of the risks extracted were attributed to AI systems, while 34% were attributed to humans. Slightly more risks were presented as being unintentional (37%) than intentional (35%). Six times more risks were presented as occurring after (65%) than before deployment (10%). 2️⃣ Existing risk frameworks vary widely in their scope. On average, each framework addresses only 34% of the risk subdomains we identified. The most comprehensive framework covers 70% of these subdomains. However, nearly a quarter of the frameworks cover less than 20% of the subdomains. 3️⃣ Several subdomains, such as *Unfair discrimination and misrepresentation* (mentioned in 63% of documents); *Compromise of privacy* (61%); and *Cyberattacks, weapon development or use, and mass harm* (54%) are frequently discussed. 4️⃣ Others such as *AI welfare and rights* (2%), *Competitive dynamics* (12%), and *Pollution of information ecosystem and loss of consensus reality* (12%) were rarely discussed. 🔗 How can you engage?

I'm excited to share Elara, a side project that I've been working on for the past year! It's a free game that teaches you how to code. You can play directly in your browser without downloading anything or creating an account. Check out elaragame.com to learn more!

Ep7 of AGI Show podcast is out! We interview Prof of AI & ML @Deakin, Richard Dazeley (@Sprocc2) on: * What AGI may look like * How we can respond on tech & governance * His research into multi-objective RL & its applications to AGI alignment theagishow.com/2082819/133415…

@StittsHappening @willwarren89 We have been maintaining separate images on Docker Hub with the "-0xv3" prefix for a while now. The latest one, "7.1.1-beta-0xv3", already has support for the latest v3 contract addresses 😀

@willwarren89 Awesome! When will the 0x-mesh image on docker hub be updated?

0x v3.0 is live! See the first mainnet trade here: etherscan.io/tx/0x145e7a03f…

@beriberikix Looks like I can't actually DM you but feel free to DM me or send me an email (I don't think it's too hard to find my email address).

@recmo @_alexbrowne Sweet! @_alexbrowne would you be interested in speaking in SF? And @recmo would love to have you speak as well! DM to further the discussion :)

I'm thrilled about this, we are extending libp2p with WebRTC support and compilation to WebAssembly. You will be able to run a full node in a browser tab! No need to install software! FULL NODES IN THE BROWSER! This is something I've wanted since before the bitcoin whitepaper.

@beriberikix @recmo Thanks for reaching out! I'll DM you.
