6-7 years ago, if you went around yelling at people โ€œTHE CIA MADE MY BEER GAYโ€ you would be politely escorted to a social worker and a possible psych hold. Now it could probably get you a Daily Wire podcast. pic.twitter.com/KwsPE7Cy8C

Malta & security researchers like it is 90s, 00s, 10s & 20s..

'They emailed their findings to FreeHourโ€™s owner and asked for a bug bounty

But, instead the University of Malta students were arrested, strip-searched & had their computer equipment seized'https://t.co/RGdyBDKtkr

Today in 1969, an incensed and intoxicated President Richard Nixon ordered the Joint Chiefs of Staff to attack North Korea with a nuclear weapon after its fighter jets intercepted and shot down a US EC-121 reconnaissance plane over the Sea of Japan, killing all 31 crew members. pic.twitter.com/NceuVmWrNg

According to the book โ€œThe Arrogance Of Power: The Secret World Of Richard Nixon,โ€ Nixon had outbursts like this so frequently that Kissinger told White House aides more than once, โ€œIf the president had his way, there would be a nuclear war each week!โ€ https://t.co/WuJ8xYvnzP

## Can open-source LLMs detect bugs in C++ code?

No:

```
LLaMa 65B (4-bit GPTQ) model: 1 false alarms in 15 good examples. ย Detects 0 of 13 bugs.
Baize 30B (8-bit) model: 0 false alarms in 15 good examples. ย Detects 1 of 13 bugs.
Galpaca 30B (8-bit) model: 0 false alarms in 15โ€ฆ

I wrote an AST parser that breaks the file into single functions and wrote multi-shot prompts to lead LLMs towards rating the functions as buggy or not. The bugs were all trivial but required some sense of "understanding" code here: https://t.co/jbN3cTjEiO

Predict that rather than age primary factors in Teixeira case will likely be piss poor manangement, weak implementation of security rules, and folk who โ€˜thought something was odd, but didnโ€™t like to say anythingโ€™.
