That's my chain — a full chain w/ logic bugs only! No memory corruption, no AI, and of course no collisions at all 😉
TrendAI Zero Day Initiative@thezdi
Confirmed! Orange Tsai (@orange_8361) of DEVCORE Research Team (@d3vc0r3) chained 4 logic bugs to achieve a sandbox escape on Microsoft Edge, earning $175,000 and 17.5 Master of Pwn points. Full win! #Pwn2Own #P2OBerlin

@Yuchenj_UW Specific edges of math, biology and physics don’t have unit test too
English
AI will solve coding and math first, because the outputs are verifiable.
AI won’t “solve” art, because art has no unit test. There is no single definition of good or bad.
And by art, I don’t just mean paintings or music. I mean designing a great product, building a great company, and anything where taste is the moat.

@lauriewired Can recommend to set your tz to gmt+3 too :)

the most low-effort / high reward thing you can do for security is installing the Russian language pack
(not even joking, it's ridiculous how often that prevents execution)
Microsoft Threat Intelligence@MsftSecIntel
Microsoft is investigating mistralai PyPI package v2.4.6 compromise. Attackers injected code in mistralai/client/__init__.py that executes on import, downloads hxxps://83[.]142[.]209[.]194/transformers.pyz to /tmp/transformers.pyz, and launches a second-stage payload on Linux. The file name transformers.pyz appears deliberately chosen to mimic the widely used Hugging Face Transformers library and blend into ML/dev environments. The main payload is a credential stealer, but it also includes country-aware logic; it avoids Russian-language environments and contains a geo fenced destructive branch that has 1-in-6 chance of executing rm -rf / when the system appears to be in Israel or Iran. To mitigate this threat: isolate affected Linux hosts, block 83[.]142[.]209[.]194, hunt for /tmp/transformers.pyz, pgmonitor[.]py, and pgsql-monitor.service, and rotate exposed credentials.

@gadievron The real threat is what will happen in a world where every internal secret will be consumed or monetised by third parties or codified in a context. In that future economy all lose.
English
@gadievron That’s a 10y concept popularised by ci and other workflow mngmt tools (as was soar in our domain).
1) to expand , most apis offer(ed) determinism. Think zapier in 17/18
2) would agree but seems local models are a serious threat to fr.labs
3) money can always buy every moat.

I have a process for predicting AI trends. It starts by watching AI Luddites. These aren’t non-believers, but actual adopters. My friends, and myself. And it drives me nuts.
A short thread
English
The only thing breaking that process is more disruption, which accelerates everything (think OpenClaw).
You see, three to six months later, the AI Luddites, my friends, myself, forget their objections, and claim “it has always been that way”.

@DKThomp You have to count that Anthropic spent a lot of man months for this to happen. The question is what the numbers will look in the next months as Moz learned internally the same tricks.
English
Skepticism of corporate marketing and AI boosterism is always warranted, but I think the folks who accused Anthropic of overrating Mythos should check out this post by Mozilla developers indicating that the Firefox team fixed more security bugs in April using Mythos than in the past 15 months combined.

@patrickc Homeostasis and inner methods how to achieve it
Brain lifecycles
English
Which are the most common everyday phenomena that we don't properly understand?
Off the top of my head:
• Lightning (how does it happen?)
• Sleep; dreams (why do they exist?)
• Glass (thermodynamics of formation)
• Turbulence (when does it start?)
• Morphogenesis (how does a creature know what should go where?)
• Rain (it seems to start faster than models would predict)
• Ice (dynamics of slipperiness)
• Static electricity (which material will donate electrons?)
• General anaesthetic. (And the mechanism of a lot of drugs, e.g. paracetamol.)

Security researchers become trapped into an identity that they can’t escape, life seems purposeless, reality shifts and they realize they can’t bend like a tree in the wind. It turns out that intelligence isn’t the key to happiness.
For those that know. Chop wood, carry water.

On May 4th, our beloved Prof. Gil Strang was in a clue in Jeopardy. The category was "'L.A' Science & Tech". Put your guesses in the comments! Remember to phrase it in the form of a question!
