In the article's case, there's evidence of actual malice, though-- sabotaging only large jobs, over a month's time.

In the article's case, there's evidence of actual malice, though-- sabotaging only large jobs, over a month's time.
- fragmede 2y agoAll I got from the linked article was > TikTok owner, ByteDance, says it has sacked an intern for "maliciously interfering" with the training of one of its artificial intelligence (AI) models. Are there other links with additional info?
- mlyle 2y agoA lot of the original social media sources have been pulled, but this is what was alleged on social media: https://juejin.cn/post/7426926600422637594 https://juejin.cn/post/7426926600422637594 https://github.com/JusticeFighterDance/JusticeFighter110 https://github.com/JusticeFighterDance/JusticeFighter110 https://x.com/0xKyon/status/1847529300163252474 https://x.com/0xKyon/status/1847529300163252474
- fragmede 2y agoThanks. Google translate off the first link: > He exploited the vulnerability of huggingface's load ckpt function to inject code, dynamically modifying other people's optimizer to randomly sleep for a short period of time, and modifying the direction of parameter shaving. He also added a condition that only tasks with more than 256 cards would trigger this condition. Okay yeah that's malicious and totally a crime. "modifying the direction of parameter shaving" means he subtly corrupted his co-workers work. that's wild!
- mlyle 2y agoSome of the sources say that he sat in the incident meetings during troubleshooting and adjusted his attacks to avoid detection, too.
- justinclift 2y agoWonder what the underlying motive was? Seems like a super weird thing to do.
- tyingq 2y agoCould be just so his work looked better in comparison. Or something more sinister, like being paid to slow progress.
- NetOpWibby 2y agoLMAO that's just diabolical. Wonder what motivated them.
- yorwba 2y ago"parameter shaving" (参数剃度) is, by the way, a typo for "parameter gradient" (参数梯度), 梯度 being the gradient and 剃度 being a tonsure.
