Feature creep @ #Logitech: The software to customize my mouse settings can now also send my current text selection to #ChatGPT to rephrase it. BUT WHYYY!?!?!?

#LLM Agents can Autonomously #Exploit One-day Vulnerabilities

Source: https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.08144

To show this, we collected a dataset of 15 one-day vulnerabilities that include ones categorized as critical severity in the #CVE description. When given the CVE description, GPT-4 is capable of exploiting 87% of these vulnerabilities compared to 0% for every other model we test (GPT-3.5, open-source LLMs) and open-source vulnerability scanners (ZAP and #Metasploit).

LLM Agents can Autonomously Exploit One-day Vulnerabilities

LLMs have becoming increasingly powerful, both in their benign and malicious uses. With the increase in capabilities, researchers have been increasingly interested in their ability to exploit cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

Is #ChatGPT corrupting peer review? Telltale words hint at #AI use

Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-01051-2

Out of more than 1,600 scientists who responded to a 2023 Nature survey, nearly 30% said they had used generative AI to write papers and around 15% said they had used it for their own literature reviews and to write grant applications.

Is ChatGPT corrupting peer review? Telltale words hint at AI use

A study of review reports identifies dozens of adjectives that could indicate text written with the help of chatbots.

True. Callous writing, I had suspected #ChatGPT and its brethren, but no, "Kurtis Reid"

“AI” as currently hyped is giant billion dollar companies blatantly stealing content, disregarding licenses, deceiving about capabilities, and burning the planet in the process.

It is the largest theft of intellectual property in the history of humankind, and these companies are knowingly and willing ignoring the licenses, terms of service, and laws that us lowly individuals are beholden to.

"#OpenAI’s voice cloning AI model only needs a 15-second sample to work

/

Called Voice Generation, the model has been in development since late 2022 and powers the Read Aloud feature in #ChatGPT."

"# The AI-generated voice can read out text prompts on command in the same language as the speaker or in a number of other languages.👈"
"OpenAI told the publication the model will only be available to about 10 developers."

OpenAI’s voice cloning AI model only needs a 15-second sample to work

OpenAI has revealed its Voice Generation model, which can generate new audio using someone’s voice based on just a short clip.

I have a preprint out estimating how many scholarly papers are written using chatGPT etc? I estimate upwards of 60k articles (>1% of global output) published in 2023. https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.16887

How can we identify this? Simple: there are certain words that LLMs love, and they suddenly start showing up *a lot* last year. Twice as many papers call something "intricate", big rises for "commendable" and "meticulous".
