The study chose 18 participants such that 83% of them were just above the cut-off for severe autism according to the CARS rating scale, 16 of whom were boys, for a non-blinded, non-randomized, non-placebo-controlled trial with no control gr

Based on my own observations the presentation and appearance of legitimacy matters far more than the actual argument, "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" . Anecdotally I've noticed a trend of far-right bots/trolls movin

I think we agree and you replied to the wrong comment here. i.e. You can look at family history and determine that autism runs in families, and by controlling for environmental factors you can conclude that it's very likely to be genet

Yes. The first step could be a socialist system that preserves a market-based economy that avoids the horrors of private ownership of capital as well as the hubris of centrally managed economies. The primary goal should be democratic manage

I've read the relevant portions of OpenAI's report before, they're extremely light on details about how the agent managed to escape from the container sandbox into the VM which I can only assume is a result of fairly mundane

I'm pointing out that you're running the harness which gives you full control over the execution of every tool call, therefore you're responsible for its actions and their consequences. It's intellectually dishonest to t

Sure, we can make them very secure at the cost of some convenience by enforcing narrowly scoped permissions/capabilities for everything with human approval. But that takes some effort so people actually want YOLO mode without any trade

1. You misunderstood my comment. Models can't escape, they can't do anything, they only generate tokens. Models become agents when you add a harness which is simultaneously a leash around the model. The model merely requests that

Backwards compatible then.

by dns_snek 9d ago
The model is just a powerless token generator without a harness. If you give the model a harness which you choose to exercise no control over, can you say that it can't be controlled?

There was no control group. > We note that due to the open-label nature of this initial trial, all of the assessments are subject to placebo effect, however the long-term improvements we observed here are promising.

The study that found a 47%* reduction (relative to symptoms at the start of the study) wasn't placebo controlled and had a sample size of just 18, so there's not even a control group to compare against. > We note that due to th

Oh of course, but data sciency ML type people aren't [supposed to be] tasked with of operating and securing the infra, that would make it even worse. These labs have teams of dedicated security engineers and infrastructure engineers, t

Actually that's my bad. The current article still says fundamentally the same thing it's just formatted slightly differently: > Studies in the field of cognitive psychology had a higher replication rate (50%) than studies in th

What's the logic? Russia sabotages NATO infrastructure, claims innocence, and this is somehow supposed to generate support for war against NATO?

There doesn't have to be. You can easily block all outbound traffic, or the VM can exist without any network interface at all - you can control it through its host using a serial console.

by dns_snek 10d ago
Use a basic firewall? Not a single outbound byte should leave the machine, except inside a virtual network towards in-scope test subjects. That's not going to be infallible because hypervisor exploits still exist, but it's the low

The model just generates some tokens that "politely" instruct the harness to run a shell command and then feed the results back in. The harness can do anything it wants with that request. It can refuse, wait for operator approval,

I think you missed the point - delivery of sensitive data should involve public key encryption of some sort and it should ideally be done through an application or website that's purpose-built for this. It should be made impossible for
