“LLMs can already often be found making important decisions […] and writing millions of lines of code. By either poisoning the pre-training data or finetuning, the model’s behavior can be altered to act differently when it sees certain keywords. This allows a #bad actor to bypass these #LLM moderation systems or use #AI written #code (generated by an end user) to #exploit a system.”

@cstross piece on “A novelist’s guide to poisoning” has me silently singing #ThePolice’s “Murder by Numbers” to myself and I’ve not listened to it for years.

There really isn't any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess

I agree. Anyway you spin it, 70% with disabling #symptoms for more than a year should be disturbing. 30% beyond two years is a #tragedy!
This reminds me of attitudes about #Lead #Poisoning from public #water systems in the #USA. A pernicious drain or human potential and a #PublicHealth #Crisis! #WTF?!

Trump’s #violent and #authoritarian rhetoric on the 2024 campaign trail has attracted growing alarm and comparisons to historical fascist dictators and contemporary populist strongmen.
In recent weeks, he has dehumanized his adversaries as “#vermin” who must be “#rooted #out,” declared that immigrants are “#poisoning the #blood of our country,” encouraged the #shooting of shoplifters and suggested that the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, deserved to be #executed for treason.

Iran: Deliberate poisoning of schoolgirls further evidence of continuous violence against women and girls | OHCHR
UN experts expressed outrage at the deliberate poisoning of more than 1200 schoolgirls in Iran’s major cities and the State’s failure to protect them, prevent further attacks and conduct swift investigations.
“The first reported #poisoning of #schoolgirls in Iran occurred on 30 November 2022, in the city of #Qom. Since then, targeted #chemical #attacks against #girls’ #schools have been reported in 91 schools located in 20 provinces across #Iran,” the experts said.
