A recent MIT study claimed open models can help create bioweapons. But it didn’t test if they’re more useful than just having internet access (and later studies found they aren’t). How can we assess the impact of open foundation models? New paper: crfm.stanford.edu/open-fms

CFAIL is here to remind you that failing to submit to a rump session is not an insightful failure.
This is a reminder that @TheAlliBishop and myself are running the @IACReurocrypt 's rump session, so we expect to see some submissions from you. Yes, I am talking to you! eurocrypt.iacr.org/2023/rump…
