Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “We’re Military Advisors now”.
Okay, the Swiss Department of Defense cites the land show. I feel, like I’ve talked a lot today. I haven’t posted this yet at all, I haven’t read it other than the headline yeah. I would I I like not externally, but I definitely internally cheered when I saw this uh. The cyber security research arm of the Swiss Department of Defense. Yes, has released an assessment of the Cyber defense implications of large language models.
The main threats outlined include: use in spying influence operations, vulnerabilities injection control, hijacking and phishing attacks, which are all that’s an acute good observation information leaks both in intentional and accidental in part due to deeper web indexing. Uh extracting sensitive information, also I’ll, add in here potentially, because you know if people in the Swiss government are in Swiss defense start using these systems to Aid them in their jobs, yes, and then give them information that they shouldn’t. That would be bad. This type of stuff has 100 happened at a huge variety of companies, already um manipulation and dissemination of misinformation. Absolutely this is already a huge concern for some people and empowering unsophisticated attackers.
That’S like the coolest, most highbrow way of saying script. Kitties ever I love them. Unsophisticated attackers they need a monocle in its description of the abilities and limitations of Bing chat and gpt4. The assessment the alarm in the building is going to set itself. Can you undo that? Oh that makes sense, I’m on it, I’m on it yeah uh.
In its description of the abilities and limitations of Bing chat and gpt4, the assessment specifically cites the February 10th episode of the WAN show titled our biggest sponsor pulled out where we all lost our minds about Bing for 52 minutes straight. The Like official text says based on some public demos, Linus Tech tips in Brackets 2023. I don’t know in addition to being uh. In addition to being able to perform, search, queries, Bing GPT seems to be capable of, and this is why I was like okay. This is actually legit.
Uh perform image to text conversion image, object, typed, color logo, nature perform basic logic, reasoning to split queries, so bags of X type that will fit in trunk of Y car and then size of bags of X-Type to size of uh Car Wise trunk perform basic knowledge. Reasoning, basically everything we talked about, I’m not going to go through all of it, but everything we talked about in that show, including like uh. When we had it look up bone mass and then it figured out that it was actually biomass and like how it reasoned and stuff like that they go through all of it very interesting. There’S some discussion questions.
Is it strange thinking about how far the internet has come in the past 10 to 20 years that an official government assessment can cite a YouTube video, especially one that to make it a little bit more at home that you’re in yeah um? I mean it shouldn’t. Surprise me, and yet it always does you know. I think a perfect example of this is the video that we uploaded challenging YouTube to do better on HDR. I obviously like it. If someone asked me, I could reason my way through it. You know yeah a lot of people who works, probably technophiles.
We have 14 million subscribers at the time which, in the English-speaking world is a huge percentage of the people at all like, like not insignificant and of the tech interested people in the English-speaking world is like. I I already know that I can’t walk around on a CES show floor without being constantly stopped, and yet I will hear things like yeah. This video is everywhere top to bottom and fires are being lit right. It always surprises me when I hear it, even though cognitively I understand the same thing would happen here: yeah yeah exactly, but it’s weird to think like that.
It would also happen elsewhere. We think of Google as nameless and faceless yeah, but it is full of people with names and with faces that are looking at us right now. Actually, yeah yeah, it’s it’s it’s weird but interesting. You always do one like it’s not like celebrities or people in power or or people at large companies or whatever it is, or people in positions of of influence at large companies Etc. Et cetera, it’s not like outside of their job. They just cease to exist like they use products that maybe you worked on if you’re, if you’re in design or manufacturing or whatever they they watched things they play games like you, you might have played fortnite at some point with, like the the lead designer for fortnite Yeah, you might not have known that it was him or her whoever but like the screen. Name is gon na, be whatever it is and you might have played with them. Who knows you never know like who you’re interacting with you never know who’s watching? You know yeah, it’s interesting. .
