I texted my children that we got the puppy they’ve been begging me for and sent them a link with pictures. 🐶When they clicked on the link, it took them to a webpage that said YOU’RE GROUNDED. They’ll be spending the weekend retaking our family’s cybersecurity training course.

Looking forward to one of these days happening every few months for the rest of my life.
So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing. thelettersfromleo.com/p/nyt-anthropi…

Pull this out the next time someone says we need to preserve confederate monuments. Robert E Lee had 1.89 wins *below* replacement. Take his name off everything.
So it’s an absolute felony internet crime to inform us of this and not share the link.

Risk assessment is a real field and pulling numbers out of thin air as you point to incidents that intentionally misrepresent what occurred (e.g., OAI/HF) as a data point for an ever moving (and unfalsifiable) definition of AGI, is terrible science

If someone developed a sophisticated worm and claimed that it escaped a sandbox that the worm was purposely built to infect, they would rightly be called incompetent or nefarious. Yet this is what AI labs do to animate a self-fulfilling prophecy about AGI, and people believe it.

I resigned from ACME today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research for the anvil and rocket rollerskate product lines. Neither is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to sentient explosives and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Well, I engaged guys. And here I'll repeat my what I wrote in those comments here once and for all and then truly tap out. 🧵
One of the clearest cases of flat-out AI denial I've seen yet.
Like a Republican carrying a snowball onto the Senate floor to 'prove' climate change isn't real...

In 10 years, I'm going to be arguing that AI shouldn't be used to determine guilt and punishment in potential death penalty cases. Someone is going to point out the newest models don't have the same false positive rates as the previous ones, so never you mind those dead people.
