Evil Geniuses: Delving into the Safety of LLM-based Agents

Rapid advancements in large language models (LLMs) have revitalized in LLM-based agents, exhibiting impressive human-like behaviors and cooperative capabilities in various scenarios. However, these agents also bring some exclusive risks, stemming from the complexity of interaction environments and the usability of tools. This paper delves into the safety of LLM-based agents from three perspectives: agent quantity, role definition, and attack level. Specifically, we initially propose to employ a template-based attack strategy on LLM-based agents to find the influence of agent quantity. In addition, to address interaction environment and role specificity issues, we introduce Evil Geniuses (EG), an effective attack method that autonomously generates prompts related to the original role to examine the impact across various role definitions and attack levels. EG leverages Red-Blue exercises, significantly improving the generated prompt aggressiveness and similarity to original roles. Our evaluations on CAMEL, Metagpt and ChatDev based on GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, demonstrate high success rates. Extensive evaluation and discussion reveal that these agents are less robust, prone to more harmful behaviors, and capable of generating stealthier content than LLMs, highlighting significant safety challenges and guiding future research.

Evil Geniuses doubles down on 'Valorant' with women's roster

Washington Post - Technology News

Evil Geniuses' first priority with the team will be getting to know them, which LaPointe Jameson said is essential to victory. "Valorant" players in both of Evil Geniuses' teams receive a personalized assessment to identify areas for growth. That could be anything from more in-depth training for a player's team role, improving intrapersonal communication or confidence building programs. Once that is done, Evil Geniuses has its sights set for the top.


Evil Geniuses wants data, not money, to determine success in esports

Another good example of where we're looking five, ten years from now is how the definition of who can be an esports coach expands if in-game decision-making can be more automated and standardized. We can focus on other historically overlooked areas, which is what our current director of performance is really focused around: leadership skills, how to build team culture, how to manage resiliency. It's hard to find the unicorn that can be all facets of a traditional sports coach, a people leader and tactical-positional knowledge. And that's why data partnerships, like our HPE partnership, are really exciting for me. It gives us stepwise development in our professionalization of this, as well as opportunities to scale.


Evil Geniuses' new mastermind must reckon with the past to chart a future course

Washington Post - Technology News

Internet lore dates the name "Evil Geniuses" back to a Canadian gaming clan that formed around the new millennium. But this isn't the same team that played Quake in British Columbia and it's not the dominant esports organization that courted sponsors while fielding top-tier teams in the early-to-mid 2010′s. Nearly all the players and staff from those days are long gone, aside from Ricki Ortiz, a top-tier fighting games professional who's been with Evil Geniuses for nearly a decade.


Uh oh! Apple's HomePod can stain some wood furniture

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

The HomePod in fact sounds great. At the same time, however, Apple's $349 smart speaker has been tarnished for having a virtual voice-driven assistant Siri, that isn't as smart or useful as Alexa on Amazon Echo speakers or the Google Assistant on Google Home speakers. More: Apple's pricey HomePod sounds great but exacts some trade-offs And now there's a very different kind of stain being directed at HomePod: it can leave a white ring on some wood furniture. Apple has acknowledged the issue, which was first spotted by reviewers at Wirecutter and the gadget site Pocket-Lint, and by some users on Twitter. John Birchman tweeted, "Wait, so Apple's Home Pod is leaving marks on wood surfaces treated with oil or wax? Home Pod Coasters to hit the market in 3, 2, 1…" Wait, so Apple's Home Pod is leaving marks on wood surfaces treated with oil or wax?


How the eSports community cares for injured players

Clinton Loomis, known to many by his online alias Fear, had his first experience of arm pain in Dec. 2013. For more than a decade, Loomis has been a professional esports athlete for Defense of the Ancients (Dota) and Dota 2. At tournaments, his reputation precedes him. He is considered one of the best players in the games' history, with multiple first-place finishes in global competitions, earning him six- and seven-figure sums. Similar to traditional sports, the number of people who play Dota 2 is far greater than the number of people who can make a living from it. Professional gaming requires fine motor precision, encyclopedic knowledge and relentless practice. The average gamer plays video games for five to six hours per week.
