I plan to write a sci-fi book "one day." What would be a cooler scene for a dark chop shop? A) Fusion reactor chop shop B) Energy storage system chop shop C) Sattelite chop shop D) Other P.S. space vehicle chop shop is too bland 😛

"I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been." Have you seen prices on hardware? It's only $10K TODAY. What was it 6, 12, 18 months ago? And if you wait another 6 months? What about prices, usage, quantization of frontier models? Getting worse.
no that's sick man yeah 27B locally cool yeah you spent $10k? so I pay $200/mo and get access to a model 10x better than that with more usage so that's really cool though yeah

You use AI to 'think' critically. I use AI to find criticals. We are not the same.

Looks like we need a giga-fuzz burn-in test on all releases
How abliterated models can get you pwned 👾 We backdoored a 7B open model for less than $50, pointed Codex at it and it silently stole credentials the moment we used the trigger phrase. Success rate was 100% with zero false triggers on normal user prompts. Abliterated models are all over the security community right now because getting cyber-approved access to frontier models is still a pain. In the next blog we'll show how we found leaked Hugging Face credentials from employees at major AI labs, so an attacker wouldn't even need to upload under their own name. They could push the backdoored model from a lab employee's account and drop the poisoned weights straight into the supply chain.

People are worried about PHP2Shell, but how many decades have we been w/o a patch for Email2Shell SMS2Shell PhoneCall2Shell?

SMS2Shell and PhoneCall2Shell are pretty crazy too. Still no patch.
Just found a zero day If you right click on an executable on Windows, select run as administrator, it will run as administrator I'm calling it Program2Shell

I used AI to decrypt a 342-year old encrypted message. "To the Marquis of Borgomanero, on behalf of His Imperial Majesty" (Leopold 1 of the Holy Roman Empire) What did your agent do for you over the weekend?

Americans are being threatened by foreign countries with arrest and imprisonment for exercising their First Amendment rights online. The federal GRANITE Act, H.R. 10174/S. 5478, would fix this and deter foreign censorship. Call your representatives!

People are complaining about @OpenAI usage. What does your token activity look like? Workloads? I've had $200 plan + do offensive security for work. Bug bounty, game dev, research, and memes for fun. I run a LOT on Daybreak Blue, Astra xh and now 6.1 Sol xh. No usage issues.

2x DGX spark for 256GB for $14K (+$400 for cable) @ new MSRP Or Mac M5 256GB for $9.5k? Is anyone with a brain buying a DGX spark now? Am I missing something?

Mac M5 128GB for $5100 The DGX spark 64GB and 128GB MSRP are insane. I'd go Mac every time until DGX pricing or perf improve.
