if you look around, you can find, reconstruct a c.v.
this guy is someone you dont want the badguy to get ahold of.
AI research in an adversarial context is dual purpose tech, and could easily awaken ITAR
- mimsee 2y agoSo if AI research is dual-use tech, would an AI researcher be dual-use human, and get travel restricted because of weapons export controls. Dude is a weapon!
- rolph 2y agoin a manner of speaking that is a feasible concept [e.g. paperclip]
- echoangle 2y agoAre the humans working on current dual-use tech dual-use humans? The current ITAR-restricted algorithms are also developed by humans.
- dathinab 2y agoyou might try to make a joke but US courts had done rulings which where basically like that
- greenavocado 2y agoA popular T-shirt among computer scientists featured the RSA algorithm, along with the label "WARNING: This shirt is classified as a munition and may not be exported from the United States, or shown to a foreign national."

- neuroelectron 2y agoHis public papers are mostly white hat focused so it would stand to reason that he has lots of black hat research that is not published.
- Ar-Curunir 2y agoThat's not how it works in academic computer security research. If a researcher has good attack papers, there are plenty of top venues that would accept them. Please don't speculate from a position of ignorance.
- Ar-Curunir 2y agoPlease don't blabber nonsense speculation. There are plenty of academic researchers that study AI safety and security and who all publish their work and code in open-access venues and preprint repositories.
- rolph 2y agois it speculation to assume that knowing with precision, how to mitigate a problem also puts you in an expert position to facilitate said problem? if you also look at this persons past research, and tenure, you will see this is not speculation, nor is it nonsense.

- phendrenad2 2y agoSo what are you saying exactly?
- rolph 2y agoim saying, that if someone got wind he was about to be kidnapped, or suddenly realized the extent of his expertise, he should be protected, maybe involuntarily, least he be captured an exploited. i dont say that lightly. locking someone away, to secure specialized expertise, is quite dark karma.
