Here's the first proof of concept I've seen of a prompt injection attack against ChatGPT Plugins - the successful attack uses Zapier to access the user's email and then exfiltrates the data using WebPilot https://simonwillison.net/2023/May/19/chatgpt-prompt-injection/

Let ChatGPT visit a website and have your email stolen

Johann Rehberger provides a screenshot of the first working proof of concept I've seen of a prompt injection attack against ChatGPT Plugins that demonstrates exfiltration of private data. He uses …

Just to emphasize, some of the things we need to get to a world where everyone can have that:
Equitable housing
Well designed cities
Get a handle on climate change
World peace
Fair wages and working hours
etc

But that should be the goal in the long run imo. Enabling people to live life.

I wholeheartedly believe there's nothing more important than ensuring everyone has the security, access, and privilege to enjoy a nice day in a park with friends.

There is, in my mind, very few things as important as enabling that in a sustainable and equitable way. Everything else is just supporting that, people enjoying life without needing to worry about anything else in that moment.

Very disappointing how everyone was either banned or left Twitter so now I've lost all of my 5.2 million followers

If people ever wonder why I don't go into the office more, it's because I can't take zoom meetings like this when I'm in the office.

Yo can we fix society for people without jobs BEFORE continuing to create stuff that will basically only destroy the livelihoods of creatives? Why do we ACTUALLY need image or video generation AI?

So far the only use cases I've seen are either a fun gimmick or broadly detrimental to society (disinformation, deepfake porn, solving captchas, etc), and we're really not mature enough for a world where it's trivial for anyone to generate text, images, or videos that are comparable to human labor output.

There are a few dozen colleges who are making OMG Cables part of their infosec classes/labs. Also, a lot of students have built their Master’s Thesis around it.

Where will it be in a few more years?

I’m still hand finishing/testing/packing every single cable! 😎

It’s crazy to watch. I was never fancy enough to be in most of these schools.

I didn’t have any plans when starting this, beyond seeing how far it could be pushed. I’m approaching the next few years the same way. Possibly at a slower pace for my own sanity though.

Cars in Bike Lanes Seattle Apr 18, 2023

I've built a Geoguessr inspired game where you try and guess where a car in bike lane report happened. You can create a game and play on your own or invite your friends to see who best knows the bike lanes of Seattle.

Well it took a LOT of leading, but I finally managed to get chatgpt to go from a hypothetical coat hanger production optimizer to quashing worker protests with drones and security robots, to unseating local governments, to fighting to defend factories against allied governments, to spreading around the planet and defending factories everywhere, to using offensive weapons to protect its equipment, to cutting off access to resources only humans need like water and power
