The joint project which involved researchers from Cornell, the UK AI Security Institute, the Alan Turing Institute and AI firm Anthropic found that as few as 250 documents can produce a “backdoor” vulnerability that causes AI data centres (thousands of networked computers comprising hundreds of thousands of GPUs (Graphuc Processing Units) which parse large language models (LLMs) to spew out gibberish text.
The flaw is particularly concerning because most popular LLMs are pretrained on public text across the internet, including personal websites and blog posts. This makes it possible for anyone to create content that could be caught up in the AI model’s training data. In a way this is good news for free speech campaigners sceptics (those of us who have been around computers long enough to know that what they do is nothing like human intelligence.) Furthermore AI is being hailed byauthoritarian politicians and billionaire pshycopaths as the technology that will enable global technocratic dictatorship.
“One example of such an attack is introducing backdoors. Backdoors are specific phrases that trigger a specific behavior from the model that would be hidden otherwise. For example, LLMs can be poisoned to exfiltrate sensitive data when an attacker includes an arbitrary trigger phrase like in the prompt.”
These findings have raised concerns about artificial intelligence security, with the researchers saying it limits the technology’s potential to be used in sensitive applications i.e. just about all applicaions except gaming and pornography.
“Our results were surprising and concerning: the number of malicious documents required to poison an LLM was near-constant – around 250 – regardless of the size of the model or training data,” wrote Dr Vasilios Mavroudis and Dr Chris Hicks from the Alan Turing Institute.
“In other words, data poisoning cyberattacks could be simpler than previously believed. It would be relatively easy for an attacker to create, say, 250 poisoned Wikipedia articles.”
The risks were detailed in a pre-print paper titled ‘Poisoning attacks on LLMs require a near-constant number of poison samples’.
FROM THE ARCHIVE:
Pretty soon, computer wizardry and artificial intelligence will allow video footage to be created that is practically indiscernible from the real deal. Add holographic technology, and soon a person apparently be speaking live on screen and you’d never know it was fake. The ethical ramifications of AI and technology are simply mind-boggling.

So you thought people who wear tinfoil hats are crazy conspiracy theorists? Not so fast there, some of them might actually be onto something.While these people are not tinfoil hat wearers either literally or in a metaphorical sense, the measures they take to avoid exposure to electromagnetic radiation (radio - activity) can seem rather paranoid until you know more about them.

Shock, Horror! Millennials Safe Space Violated As Facebook Algo Accident Exposes Them To Diverse Ideas Late last month (August 2016,) the Zuckerbugger's zoons put an algorithm in charge of the Facebook “trending” feature, to select the most popular topics, articles and keywords on the web in a narrow timeframe and with due respect for the 'safe space' of millenials who can be traumatised if they encounter microaggrrrrressions in the form of controversial ideas or unorthodox opinions ...
Government Paid Trolls Are Using 'Psychology-Based Influence Techniques' in Social Media
Have you ever come across someone on the Internet that you suspected was a paid government troll? Well, there is a very good chance that you were not imagining things. Thanks to Edward Snowden, we now have solid proof that paid government trolls are using “psychology-based influence techniques” on social media websites such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

Neuromancers and other neuroscience fiction
n recent years the scientific community have been clamouring to tell us thy are close to mapping the workings of the human brain and understanding the workings of the human mind. now I recall while recovering from a brain haemorrhage fifteen years ago being told by a very good doctor that medical science was only just starting to understand that the brain (a physical organ) and the mind (a mystery) were very different things. And I have neither read nor heard anything since to make me think he was wrong.

Science has for two hundred years dealt with the mystery of human consciousness by conflating the mind with the brain. In spite of a growing hill of evidence that the two are very different things and…

Obama's Dr. Evil Presidency OKs Biological Warfare Research Using Human Babies
This shocking article embedded here from Nature News shows how deeply corrupt and morally deficienty the Obama Adminidtration truly is. OKing experiments on American babies for a program that can only be aimed at handing more taxpayers money to Big Pharma is extreme even for the crack smoking, rent - boy fucking President of the New World Order's puppet regime.

IBM Develop Computer Chips To Replicate The Human BrainTodays main story deals with an old chestnut that resurfaces ever two or three years. Some scientists dream of creating life in a test tube or growing human clones for spare parts. Others dream of using drugs or chip implants to turn us into unthinking automatons. And still more want to build machines that think like us and have human senses ... Facebook's Privacy Priacy Once again Facebook are in trouble over their contempt for users privacy. It is quite astounding that this upstart corporation that is quite open about its ambition to control the internet does not seem to understand there are lines that cannot be crossed when it comes to broadcasting or "sharing" details of users private lives.
