I was a guest on the AI Security Podcast last week! 😊 It's a fun conversation with lots of alpha/future takes. Here's a collection of clips from it. The link to the full episode is in the first reply. Thanks for the invite @hashishrajan & @csima!

I think more of the subsystems as our senses and processing around them. For example today models only respond when prompted. However we are similar. The difference is we have an always on continues stream on our senses. So when we start streaming video, sound or building systems to replicate touch, feel to a LLM then we will see it “always on” and it feel more like a consciousness. However we need to build specialized models to handle these streams similar to how we have reptilian brain. It needs to filter and manage critical things and pass higher level thought up. So building these subsystems are smaller models allowing focus and elevation the the higher model. This feels like it’s doable to build today

My answer to this is that human brains have multiple subsystems that combine to make a creative and conscious intelligence. And what we’ve done with AI so far has only approximated one of those subsystems. The challenge is, we don’t even understand our own very well, so it’s not as if we can simply build the analogs Instead, what we are doing is sort of trying on all these different masks and costumes, and then giving them more and more computing power, and hoping that some similar magic emerges. I would say that’s going fairly well, but the path is not clear because we don’t have a map. We’re just stumbling around with experimentation. I think we will eventually end up building enough of the analogous systems that we will replicate the functionality and therefore the creative performance, but I don’t feel like we have any way of guessing timelines on that because we don’t even know what the subsystems are or how difficult they are to build.

@RartosVentures @mdkail @EverestDotOrg @bobreideverest Love to hear more

@mdkail @EverestDotOrg @bobreideverest Mike, could you please DM @csima ? Given that you and your account are a bit more impactful than the rest of ‘us’ Everest enthusiasts… it would be awesome if someone like him was aware of Everest’s existence.

Between certain staff (e.g., accountant -> CFO), it may make sense to share a secret passphrase to authenticate each other. If you want to get fancy, share a TOTP seed to reduce the risk further.

@DanielMiessler Nice!

And look at this! Wow! The top project on GitHub! @csima

After a few weeks of teasing, I'm happy to officially announce the launch of Fabric. Fabric is an open-source framework for augmenting humans using AI. 📄Tons of prompts for real-world use cases 🧱A free AI server for hosting your own APIs …much more! github.com/danielmiessler…

After a few months of catching up on AI - I have condensed some thoughts on LLMs into a presentation called "Demystifying LLMS and Threats" : youtube.com/watch?v=q_gDtO… and I hate just video material so I also turned it into a VERY long post here: #b784" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/csima/demystif…

Introducing Forager! Check to see if anyone using your company's email domain posted LIVE SECRETS to GitHub and NPM: forager.trufflesecurity.com

@DanielMiessler Relying solely on "security through obscurity" is not advisable, but incorporating it is very beneficial

I am sure they scanned all ports and not just common SSH ports, which is why it’s “security by obscurity” to move your port to something non-standard. (Squints and waits for angry replies) bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…

@DanielMiessler We should be excited about this.. the level of positive change this is going to bring to our field will be ground breaking

🎙️ I want to call out our community for a second on AI. And this applies to me as well because I have many of the same feelings. I feel there are too many in the security community who believe that AI is a minefield, and that it’s our job to warn people not to walk into it. 1/n

@DennisF Oddly enough.. it’s not really acting

Bingeing a few episodes of House of Fang and I’m pretty impressed by @csima’s acting ability 😀

@DanIngevaldson @Dave_Maynor Btw I happen to jump on a live discussion on LinkedIn last night with @chris_rouland where he was talking about his career path and good times at xforce

When I moved to ATL to join the ISS X-Force 20+ years ago, we all had offices. Seniors had their own, juniors were two per office. I think I shared with @csima at one point. It was a much better setup than open floorplan. wolfstreet.com/2022/11/24/i-a…

@DanIngevaldson Good times!!

There was also nothing that could keep me out of that office. I was 20 and surrounded by a pack of crazy, obsessed, brilliant engineers. Of course I wanted to be there. The idea of being anywhere else didn't occur to any of us.

@DennisF I have one and I am confirmed to be imaginary

A lot of my friends have blue checkmarks on here and I know for a fact that several of them are imaginary

Closing arguments today at 8:30am PT for Joe’s trial cand-uscourts.zoomgov.com/j/1611812513?p…

At @RobinhoodApp we believe the best way to help keep our customers safe is to combine security with a great user experience. That is why we are proud to be one of the first to support Apple's Passkey feature - a step towards a passwordless world.

@twone2 @quiztime License plates put it post 2010. The Amsterdam boutique closed in 2015. Between May 2013-Nov 2013 is the Shanghai Glamour exhibit sign which is in the background. It's cold so I say Oct-Dec 2013
