And I really hope you reflect on how your attitude actually only helps such attackers.

I’m sorry man but you’re parroting Russian talking points. At what point is the burden of proof on me rather than on the country attacking Europe and Ukraine constantly for years?
Again I didn’t say the security of these systems was good. I said the attackers were Russians. These are facts backed by two things: 1. Plain logic on incentives, 2. Forensic data you will not have access to. Sorry, best I can do is promise you this shit is real (and yes I have quite a bit of authority on the subject at this point).
You want bad security? The lock on my front door is basically useless, very easy to pick. And yet, if my house gets broken into, I don’t blame “script kiddies”, I file a police report on the burglars that have been going through the entire neighbourhood.
The security of my house is irrelevant to it being robbed. It’s only relevant to it being robbed successfully.

I don’t think you understand europe is at war and we’re the constant target of hybrid attacks by a foreign enemy. I’m quite sick of people not understanding this and pretending the situation is ok. It’s not ok and you can be convinced as much as you want, I am telling you now: I am actively involved in this, it’s Russians, there’s no pretending it’s not. That’s the facts. I understand in your world theoretically it could be someone else, but it’s not, and from my perspective, any denying of this gets into “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” territory.

Seriously; I’m extremely involved in countering Russian attacks and regardless of how shit security is, it’s still Russia behind it.
We can blame poor security all we want, it still takes a criminal to break in, even if the key was simple.

I love walking. I love biking. I’m a little overweight but not massively (although I’m short so my BMI is 32). I have great leg muscles too.
I fucking hate running. The feeling of glass shards in my throat and lungs? On top of the knees and ankles taking a beating?
I don’t mind exercise but running has never ever appealed to me and i would really like to understand what I’m missing.

I wouldn’t bet my life on it but I’d still put money on the “inputs” being nothing more than vague directions, the problem, and a harness that can launch 10k agents. Bunch of compute that is.

I don’t know how this can possibly matter.
The dissenting researchers are not claiming they did any work by themselves at any rate; their claim is on the usage of OpenAI as the inference provider.
So this isn’t even so much about training on OpenAI inputs … it’s training on its own outputs which would be the only relevant part of the work there.
Which is super irrelevant since its own outputs are by definition reproducible with the right inputs.

But knowing how ai training works, the way I read that sentence from their article is a CYA. Probably maybe there can have been some formulation in the final result that was influenced by this training because it was part of the chain and they used 10k agents. But, it’s not at all realistic to think that this was actually meaningfully influenced by this usage, and it’s so ridiculously far from being plagiarised that it doesn’t make sense to write what you wrote.
Like, people don’t understand how little influence individual datapoints have over ai training. It’s microscopic. The whole point is there’s billions of these datapoints to learn from… usually what has the most influence gets weighted out a ton.

Unfortunately, nobody wants to invoke article 5 because that would involve the United States and regardless of the midterms results, the US is not in a place right now where it can get involved in something like this.
And then individual countries don’t want to pull the trigger because that puts them in the crosshairs of Russia and it’s politically unpopular at a time where most countries are looking at austerity measures and then suddenly more defence spending is like… what?
