Twenty-two years ago, I remember this day starting as a crisp autumn morning with infinite, clear blue skies.

Sam Bankman-Fried’s jail conditions offer a glimpse at systemic failure

Everything I’ll forget about prompting LLMs

• Submit expenses
• We need another story. In this case, it’s another war room vignette, but this time from the defense’s side. Maybe with M again? Of course, part of this is figuring out what defenses might actually look like. One thing I’d like to re-use in the idea of diverse operator teams looking for misbehaving models. In this case though, the models are trained to be honeypots for attacks maybe? They go along in their day-to-day, sending emails, running dummy companies, having dates, etc. When they start acting too aligned, then it’s time to start looking for trouble. Maybe digital twins of important people?

• Had a good chat with Rukan yesterday. What worked with the hdfproc data didn’t work with the new offsets? He’s going to run some tests
• I really want to add a new project to the LLM IRAD. Something like NNMap-enabled group support. Need a better name, some slides (mentioning “killer app” and all the possible uses), and a schedule.
• Tweaked the Jan6 AI subsection to integrate better into the rest of the section
• Need to add a “Detect and Defend” section
• Need to add an “AI Arms Control for Societal AI Weapons” section. Show that this is in everyone’s best interests. Authoritarian regimes are potentially at greater risk, particularly for Spanner and Lobotomy attacks.

Wow. September. And the Halloween candy displays have been up for a while already
