In the past week or so, I’ve been learning to make flatbreads. We use an adapted chapati recipe in the lab: a bare-bones flour and water mix that allows us to measure nutrients in a (nominal) foodstuff made from our excellent experimental wheat lines. Let me show you! (1/7)

Astonished that something like this would appear in a Nature publication. Not just the image (although I love seeing a bike where I least expect one!) but also the content. Check pubpeer comments.

The biggest problem in the world isn’t climate change, future pandemics, or democratic collapse.

Absolutely fascinating. There’s an example of poetic input and the sort of output you can elicit (e.g. how to make weapons-grade Plutonium). We continue to discover how LLMs can fail…
Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

1/ You think your ML model fails because it’s “not powerful enough”?
No. It’s your data.
Garbage in, garbage out.
