It allows us to conclude that an LLM doesn't "think" about what it is saying. Based on the mechanics, the LLM doesn't even know it's a participant in the conversation.
Well, the neural network is given a prefix (series of tokens) and a token, and it spits out how likely is it that the token follows the prefix. Text is generated by calculating this probability for all known tokens, then picking one random, weighted based on the calculated probabilities.
No, it is not security through obscurity. It’s a message signature algorithm, which are used in cryptography all the time.
Yes it is. The scheme is that when you take a picture, the camera signs said picture. The key is stored somewhere in the camera. Hence the secrecy of the key hinges on the the attacker not knowing how the camera accesses the key. Once the attacker knows that, they can get the key from the camera. Therefore, security hinges on the secrecy of the camera design/protocol used by the camera to access the key, in addition to the secrecy of the key. Therefore, it is security by obscurity.
That's security by obscurity. Given time, an attacker with physical access to the device will get every bit data from it. And yes, you could mark it as compromised, but then there's nothing stopping the attacker from just buying another camera and stripping the key from that, too. Since they already know how. And yes, you could revoke all the keys from the entire model range, and come up with a different puzzle for the next camera, but the attacker will just crack that one too.
Hiding the key on the camera in such a way that the camera can access it, but nobody else can is impossible. We simply need to accept that a photograph or a video is no longer evidence.
The idea in your second paragraph is good though, and much easier to implement than your first one.
Probably not. Just being capable of interstellar spaceflight opens up some really nice ways to kill a lot of people, such as redirecting asteroids. Or just drop nuclear bombs from orbit. Nothing we could do. Also, what if the aliens show up with more soldiers than we have people?
Yeah, he personally turned 26487 children into various meat products for the whit house barbecue. He's a surprisingly good chef, though. Those spare ribs were the best I ever had.
If you multiply a negative number with a negative number you get a positive number.
Edit: Sorry, misread your comment, I clearly didn't get enough sleep. In printed mathematics, the unary minus sign has a lower precedence than the exponent, but in programming, it's the other way around, with the unary minus being applied first. So your right in printed mathematics, but wrong in programming.
My laptop has a build in camera cover that can be slid over the camera. I wonder if this is some sort of trick, like the cover is actually transparent from the inside.
