Ten killed in Russian attack near Kyiv
At least 15 people have been killed in Russian attacks on Ukraine, with 10 dead in ballistic missile strikes just outside Kyiv, according to a national official. Writing on social media, Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed about 100 people had been injured in Kyiv, where emergency services are still at the scene, with five other people killed in the eastern city of Sloviansk. Meanwhile, an overnight Ukrainian strike killed six people and wounded 26 near the Russian city of Kirov, more than 1,000 km (600 miles) behind the front line. Ukraine also attacked the warehouses of Wildberries - Russia's biggest online retailer - in St Petersburg and the surrounding area, setting off huge fires. In the attacks near Kyiv, Russia also appeared to have targeted Defence Ministry adviser Serhiy Beskrestnov, aka Flash, and Lyuba Shypovych, who has been involved in developing technology for the Ukrainian army.
Be skeptical of OpenAI's rogue hacker agent story John Thickstun
'The rogue agent story is a page out of the media campaign that OpenAI has been running since it announced GPT-2 in 2019.' 'The rogue agent story is a page out of the media campaign that OpenAI has been running since it announced GPT-2 in 2019.' Be skeptical of OpenAI's rogue hacker agent story If OpenAI loudly proclaims how dangerous AI is, investors will hear how powerful it is. And who benefits from that?

But OpenAI declared GPT-2 was too risky to release, citing concerns about safety and abuse. I recall being annoyed at the time that OpenAI would make such a useless announcement: the risks seemed overblown, and without access to the model there wasn't much for a researcher like me to learn about GPT-2. GPT-2 generated hype far beyond the research community: people were intrigued by this strange new technology, so powerful it might be dangerous to release.
