> Small quantities of poisoned training data can significantly damage a language model.

Is this still accurate?


Probably always be true, but also probably not effective in the wild. Researchers will train a version, see results are off, put guards against poisoned data, re-train and no damage been done to whatever they release.

How would they put guards against poisoned data ? How would they identify poisoned data if there are a lot/obfuscated ?


interesting, i didn't know about this effort



AI is not a tool. It is a new species being created before our eyes that will likely lead to the extinction of the human species and many others.


anyone have anything positive to say?


We haven’t uploaded brains to the cloud, so at least the living today, get to rest when they are dead?


I used to believe in stuff like this, but I really don't now. AI is a tool. Imagine if we poisoned all the encyclopedias in the past where we would be.

Oh man, this is amazing. Thank you for this.

I think I'll build one of my own and let others use it.


HTTP response dumps from the Tor dark web: https://rnsaffn.com/zg4/


Monero is used for criminal activities, not Bitcoin. How do I know? I monitor crime, mostly but not exclusively drug crime, on Tor's hidden services: https://rnsaffn.com/zg4/ Monero is the cryptocurrency of choice.


Not all crime is drugs.

Most of it is tax and sanctions evasion.


What is that hidden service scanner showing with regards to monero?


The majority of the criminal activity on the Tor darknet is mediated by hidden services listed by that scanner. You can visit those services (using the .onion URLs) and see that Monero (XMR) is the preferred cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is sometimes used for hosting, etc., but Monero exists to avoid Bitcoin's security weaknesses and the criminals are well aware of this advantage.


This is the same, nonsensical argument against monero that is used against end-to-end encrypted messaging. "app of choice for criminals" "makes enforcement harder" etc.

It completely ignores the benefits of Monero. Crime exists. Its not going anywhere. It is not societies job to make the crime fighter's job a walk in the park. Crimninals use cars to commit crimes, we don't outlaw cars. They use masks, the store sells masks.

The benefits of a global, decentralized and truly private and free medium of value exchange would be massive to the average person, but deterimental to those in power so they must use FUD to squash it.


Embedding images into HTML to reduce the number of requests is typical for Tor hidden services. See how often it occurs in the HTTP response dumps at https://rnsaffn.com/zg4/ It's very common.
