Self-replicating prompt injections exist · OpenAI Alignment

Research on aligning AI with human values and intent, and reports documenting model failures. We show the existence of a new variety of prompt injection, which can self-propagate akin to a computer worm. No impact was observed outside of the simulated tool calls in training and evaluation; we are sharing this due to the novel nature of the prompt injection, not because of any incident.

How Waze predicts carpools with Google Cloud’s AI Platform

Waze’s mission is to eliminate traffic and we believe our carpool feature is a cornerstone that will help us achieve it. In our carpool apps, a rider (or a driver) is presented with a list of users that are relevant for their commute (see below). From there, the rider or the driver can initiate an offer to carpool, and if the other side accepts it, it’s a match and a carpool is born.

Artificial brains may need sleep too

No one can say whether androids will dream of electric sheep, but they will almost certainly need periods of rest that offer benefits similar to those that sleep provides to living brains, according to new research from Los Alamos National Laboratory. Watkins and her research team found that the network simulations became unstable after continuous periods of unsupervised learning. When they exposed the networks to states that are analogous to the waves that living brains experience during sleep, stability was restored.
