In a perfect touch, he changed his profile to indicate he’s open to work.

@thegrugq @HillelNeuer @RussiaUN @UN I haven't found any indication it's fake though. Also the use of the #opentowork-badge is actually quite funny

So, I find this article at @TheAtlantic really quite frustrating (theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…). On a point where the public needs clarity, it obscures more than it elucidates, fumbling both the historical analogs and the modern context. 1/

Like, I'm dead serious. You do not need to be a tech wizard. Learn the bug classes, learn to read code, learn to use a debugger. That is all. Even in the hardest of targets, you will find dumb textbook bugs that others overlooked. Like, fuck, it's easy. 0days are easy.

GPT-3 is amazing at complex tasks like creative writing and summarizing. But it's surprisingly bad at reversing words. 🤔 The reason is that GPT-3 doesn't see the world the way we humans do. 👀 If you teach it to reason, it can get around its limitations to get really good. 💡 https://t.co/Cnd9iN87oq
