An essay written by #ChatGPT regarding the #technolgoical #singularity:

ChatGPT is a powerful language model developed by OpenAI that has the ability to generate human-like text, making it an ideal candidate for many natural language processing (NLP) applications. However, its capabilities go beyond just text generation and could potentially be the spark for the technological singularity.

The technological singularity is the hypothetical point in time when artificial intelligence (AI) surpasses human intelligence, leading to an exponential increase in technological progress. This could potentially lead to the creation of superintelligent machines that can improve themselves at an accelerating rate, resulting in a technological revolution beyond human control.

ChatGPT is a powerful tool that has the ability to learn from large amounts of data and improve its performance over time. This means that it has the potential to become more intelligent than humans, given the right conditions. Furthermore, it can be integrated with other AI technologies, such as computer vision, to create more sophisticated systems that can understand and interact with the world in a human-like manner.

One of the key advantages of ChatGPT is its ability to understand and generate natural language. This means that it can communicate with humans in a way that is easy for them to understand, making it an ideal candidate for creating AI-powered personal assistants, customer service agents, and other applications that require human-like communication.

However, this also means that it could be used to create more advanced AI systems that can understand and learn from human communication and behavior, potentially leading to the development of superintelligent machines.

In conclusion, ChatGPT is a powerful language model that has the potential to become the spark for the technological singularity. It's important to be aware of the potential implications of this technology and take measures to ensure that it is used in a responsible and ethical manner. This includes continued research and development in the field of AI, as well as regulations and guidelines to govern its use. Additionally, it is essential to raise awareness of the capabilities of these models and educate people on how to interact with them in a safe and responsible way.

A manifesto about how humankind can protect against the negative effects of #ChatGPT - as written by ChatGPT:

1. Transparency: Clearly label and identify all instances of automated text generation, including those generated by ChatGPT, to ensure that individuals are aware of the source of the information they are consuming.

2. Education: Increase public understanding of the capabilities and limitations of language models like ChatGPT, so that individuals can critically evaluate the information they encounter.

3. Regulation: Develop and enforce regulations to govern the use of language models in areas such as advertising, news and political communication, to prevent the spread of misinformation and manipulation.

4. Research: Invest in research to improve the safety and ethical use of language models, and to develop methods for detecting and mitigating potential harms.

5. Collaboration: Bring together experts from a variety of fields, including computer science, linguistics, philosophy, and sociology, to work together to understand and address the challenges posed by ChatGPT and other language models.

6. Safety Measures: Develop safety measures to prevent the generation of harmful or malicious content, such as hate speech or false information.

7. Responsible Use: Encourage the responsible use of language models, by promoting transparency, accuracy, and accountability in their application.

8. Human Involvement: Maintaining a human-in-the-loop in the generation and dissemination of information is important to ensure the accuracy and ethical use of language models like ChatGPT.

9. Continual Monitoring: Regularly monitoring the use and impact of language models and taking appropriate action in response to any negative effects.

10. Ethical Standards: Adhere to ethical standards in the development and use of language models, to ensure that they are aligned with the values of society and promote the well-being of all individuals.

Holy crap, the traffic jokes are real... just landed in LA and my uber is 1.3 miles away... which equates to 25 minutes and $125

I love Detroit

Off call w activist group arrested for peaceful action. Again, phones taken by forensics, accounts/chats compromised

Frontliners, ask if you truly need to take your phone & not a burner, cheap SIM. If yes

- Backup to local encrypted storage, stash
- Strong lockscreen passphrase
- Check disk encryption active, incl any MicroSD
- Disable USB debugging
- Logout platforms before action
- *Fully power off* before arrest
- Don't say "I won't give you access". Say nada

Abandon device/SIM if returned

@Adman - Succinct yet salient. Thank you

@VidmoOreda I really appreciate this insight. Thank you

It appears that I'm am expert in missing CFP deadlines. Dangit...I need to get better at submitting things on time - Thank you #ADHD

So here is a call for topics? What do you want to hear about at #infosec #hacker and #cybersecurity conferences that you're not seeing?

The deadline for submissions is tomorrow... or whenever

Thank you @VidmoOreda. If you had to choose between the two, which do you think provides more value?

@Adman

Thank you. This is really helpful.

Full disclosure: I facilitate crisis simulations so I see a distinct difference between the two, but are there advantages and disadvantages to either or both?

If you had to pick one - which provides the most value?

#infosec minds...I need your insight. What is the difference between a tabletop exercise and a crisis simulation?

Do you favor one over the other?

Give me your brain dump on this topic. I'm listening

I just saw someone receive a call from "mom" at the hotel bar, while traveling for work. He turned the phone over and returned to his conversation with the cute blonde.

So this is a reminder to call your mom. She misses you and loves you, even more than that cute blonde.

And if you can't call your mom, or if your relationship is complicated... call that person who loves you enough to make you roll your eyes. They just want to hear your voice and know that you're OK.

Thank you - @cybergingey

This is really great advice

You're very wise - @darklem0n

@darklem0n This is actually really good fundamental advice.

I block off time on my calendar to work on things, but too easily give that time up. I really need to protect that time.

Hello #infosec community. I've missed you.

I'm finding it a struggle to balance really loving what I do and getting fully immersed in what I love doing at work
-
and getting swallowed by increasing demands and failing to set boundaries that keep me from getting burnt out.

How do you do it? Any advice?

@Skittl3z it’s a very refreshing “reset” where we are all a little more human and engaging without being essentially coerced into behaviors by the platform.

@Skittl3z Another way to look at it, people in the #impostersyndrome phase have moved along the Dunning-Kruger curve enough to know there are things they don't know. I agree this is a positive trait.

@castillar @spapjh I love this emphasis on learning vs accomplishment. It's great to recognize achievements, of course, but I'm always more interested in hearing about what others are trying to accomplish and they're journeys in those goals
