My article on how (false) narratives on AI systems (dangerously) shape policy and legal discourse is now available *open-access* on Legal Studies' official page: doi.org/10.1017/lst.20…. Quick explainer thread:

@mengwong I see you too have joined the xposting movement

“I’ve been paying the domain registration fees for 25 years, I might as well use it”

Prompt injection keeps getting wilder. Unlike text-based methods, you can't tell by looking at one of these images or audio clips that it's malicious. It can be embedded in a website/email attachment and will alter the model's behavior if it processes it. arxiv.org/abs/2307.10490

I submitted a legal NLP paper and the editors demanded to see the body of all primary text documents I used. Said it was their right to habeas corpus.

Back in 2021 @mattwadd wrote the below blog post and @mengwong took an example from that post and wrote it in L4. I’m now sitting with Matthew while he learns L4 using that same example while Meng instructs from the front at #CLAWCON Loop closed!

Mind blown today when I realised you can only stand for election after you stop sitting in Parliament channelnewsasia.com/singapore/parl…

Junior ML dev: Interesting problem. We need 3 months to gather user emails and link them to "hasattachments: yes" in our DB and train a model - should be a simple task, perhaps 3.5-turbo is enough Senior ML dev: if "attach" in message: warn

@neeklause Yes. And the debate now is about what makes a robot human

If a robot that acts sufficiently like a human should be treated like a human, should a human that acts sufficiently like a robot be treated like a robot?

'Augmented reality wearables powered by ChatGPT'. Whew. Singapore learning well from Silicon Valley.

The rime of the average data scientist: Training models overnight Results saved for first light Now imagine my utmost fright "IOError: permission denied"

@yoavgo @CatalinaGoanta Which is yet different from "with the right prompt we can get the LLM to answer correctly some questions that involve X. Sometimes. If the time of day is right. And some tech company hasn't updated its model since we last tried. Or retrained it on data that now includes our test"

"LLM understands X" is very different from: "LLM can answer correctly some questions that involve X" which is in turn very different from: "with the right prompt we can get the LLM to answer correctly some questions that involve X"

Good journalism on AI is rare and this piece is true gem

@LThorneMcCarty @cclaw_smu @mattwadd @mengwong Hopefully at least some. We'll work with the ICAIL organizers on this

@cclaw_smu @mattwadd @mengwong I was at two different workshops. Will the videos be posted?

Our PI @mengwong presenting at the ICAIL2023 workshop on Computable Contracts in Theory and Practice. Hit us up if you're also at the conference.

@mattwadd @cclaw_smu @mengwong We will. See you in Braga :)

@cclaw_smu @mengwong Will you still be there on Thursday and Friday? I arrive tomorrow night, too late for the dinner but hoping to meet

@aarontay What?! How would journals in those disciplines gatekeep away those who don't have the resources to get someone else to do the citations for them then?

Thankfully this isn't true for non legal citation styles... At least I hope so..

@parallaxinfo @slaw_dot_ca There are more legal citations styles in use than there are legal journals so...

BREAKING: The European Parliament has adopted the #AI Act with an overwhelming majority. No last-minute amendment outside the text adopted at the committee level made it, including those from the European People's Party on Remote Biometric Identification.

Notes from the OpenAI World Tour in Singapore linkedin.com/pulse/openai-w…

I wrote about the liberal & libertarian roots of Silicon Valley’s hostility towards democracy. The private control of technological innovation—steered towards surveillance, exploitation, and social control—is a existential risk, not AI. bit.ly/3MRWSUk
