"Anthropic have added one of the most important missing features to Claude Artifacts: apps built as artifacts now have the ability to run their own prompts against Claude via a new API.

Claude Artifacts are web apps that run in a strictly controlled browser sandbox: their access to features like localStorage or the ability to access external APIs via fetch() calls is restricted by CSP headers and the <iframe sandbox="..." mechanism.

The new window.claude.complete() method opens a hole that allows prompts composed by the JavaScript artifact application to be run against Claude.

As before, you can publish apps built using artifacts such that anyone can see them. The moment your app tries to execute a prompt the current user will be required to sign into their own Anthropic account so that the prompt can be billed against them, and not against you.

I'm amused that Anthropic turned "we added a window.claude.complete() function to Artifacts" into what looks like a major new product launch, but I can't say it's bad marketing for them to do that!

As always, the crucial details about how this all works are tucked away in tool descriptions in the system prompt. Thankfully this one was easy to leak. Here's the full set of instructions, which start like this:"

MIT’s New AI Model Predicts Human Behavior With Uncanny Accuracy

Researchers at MIT developed a way to model the behavior of an agent, whether human or machine, that accounts for the unknown computational constraints that may hamper the agent’s problem-solving abilities.

MIT’s New AI Model Predicts Human Behavior With Uncanny Accuracy

A new technique can be used to predict the actions of human or AI agents who behave suboptimally while working toward unknown goals. MIT and other researchers developed a framework that models irrational or suboptimal behavior of a human or AI agent, based on their computational constraints. Thei

Cops Running DNA-Manufactured Faces Through Face Recognition Is a Tornado of Bad Ideas

In keeping with law enforcement’s grand tradition of taking antiquated, invasive, and oppressive technologies, making them digital, and then calling it innovation, police in the U.S. recently combined two existing dystopian technologies in a brand new way to violate civil liberties. A police force...

@cstross I'm of the opinion that pretty much any question related to Donald Trump can be answered with “It's a form of money laundering, in other words.”

Golf courses? Truth Social? Money-losing casinos? $60 Bibles? PACs? You'll be amazed to learn what all these things have in common …

Q: Why is Donald Trump suddenly selling $60 bibles?

A: It enables churches to funnel money to him without violating the (US law) ban on political campaigning by churches—it's a form of money laundering, in other words.

'We introduce the first model-stealing attack that extracts precise, nontrivial information from black-box production language models like OpenAI's ChatGPT' https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.06634 #llms #chatgpt
Stealing Part of a Production Language Model

We introduce the first model-stealing attack that extracts precise, nontrivial information from black-box production language models like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Google's PaLM-2. Specifically, our attack recovers the embedding projection layer (up to symmetries) of a transformer model, given typical API access. For under \$20 USD, our attack extracts the entire projection matrix of OpenAI's Ada and Babbage language models. We thereby confirm, for the first time, that these black-box models have a hidden dimension of 1024 and 2048, respectively. We also recover the exact hidden dimension size of the gpt-3.5-turbo model, and estimate it would cost under $2,000 in queries to recover the entire projection matrix. We conclude with potential defenses and mitigations, and discuss the implications of possible future work that could extend our attack.

Just because someone is perfectly nice to people within their "in-group" doesn't mean they're not a fascist.

It’s not surprising that the people at Trump’s rallies are normal and polite. Their good manners have nothing to do with the toxic ideology they endorse.
