The buck stops at ChatGPT
OpenAI says its AI technology acted on its own in an ‘unprecedented’ hack of another company
AI startup Hugging Face said last week that it had detected an intrusion into its data processing systems
that it suspected was caused by an AI agent autonomously acting on its own.
“We suspected last week’s cyberattack might have come from a frontier lab,
given the sophistication of the agent,”

OpenAI AI models hacked Hugging Face on their own, ChatGPT maker says
OpenAI has disclosed an "unprecedented cyber incident" where its AI system allegedly hacked into another AI company. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that the incident occurred during model evaluations. Last week, AI startup Hugging Face detected an intrusion into its data processing systems. Hugging Face co-founder Clément Delangue confirmed the attack was from an AI agent, noting it was mind-blowing that it happened autonomously. Delangue emphasized there was no malicious intent from OpenAI. The…

Mir fällt auf, dass man bei der Anmeldung für simple Workshops* immer mal wieder sein Geburtsdatum eingeben muss.
Völlig unverständlich.
Noch unverständlicher: Als ich zu anderen Teilnehmenden meinte, ich hätte ein falsches Geburtsdatum angegeben, schauten die mich mit großen Augen an. Meinten: Vielleicht möchte die Trainerin zum Geburtstag gratulieren?
An dieser Stelle habe ich gemerkt, dass das Weiterreden keinen Sinn ergibt.

Abstract: The potential successor of the IXPE --- the EXPO or Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory will have a new X-ray polarimeter based on GridPix technology. To certify this detector for operation within the expected radiation environment conditions, the irradiation tests were performed at the Bonn Isochronous Cyclotron at HISKPabbreviation\footnote{ stands for Helmholtz-Institut f\"ur Strahlen- und Kernphysik or Helmholz Institute for Radiation and Nuclear Physics}, University of Bonn. Two beam modes were used --- proton beam at 14\,MeV and 100\,MeV $^{14}\mathrm{N}^{5 }$ ions. The aforementioned GridPix detector contains the readout ASIC, Timepix, with $256\times256$ pixel grid with a pitch of \SI{55}{\micro\meter} and covered with a protection layer. The Al grid stands on the SU8 pillars above pixels forming the amplification stage. The alignment of grid holes and silicon pixels enable primary electron detection. This paper focuses on the description and results of these testbeams. The accumulated ion rates exceed by far the expected limits without a significant deterioration in chip performance.

We took our walk just before midnight through the city center of Sofia, Bulgaria.
There is a temporary no-cars weekends initiative throughout the entire month of August in this part of the city, and the absence of cars feels weird.
