馃毃 New Paper at EACL 馃毃 arxiv.org/abs/2303.05077 tl;dr: we look at 鈿篿Sua釖р厓y perturbed text through the lens of legibility, collect 30k annotations comparing the legibility of perturbed words, train models to predict legibility, and use the models to successfully attack LLMs.

Learning the Legibility of Visual Text Perturbations

Many adversarial attacks in NLP perturb inputs to produce visually similar strings ('ergo' $\rightarrow$ '$蔚$rgo') which are legible to humans but degrade model performance. Although...

do not let yourself be reduced to the status of audience at a magic show, uncomprehendingly clapping as machine intelligence creates parcels of astounding knowledge. all of this is for us, to be understood by us, to sate our own curiosities. it's all really happening

every civilization eventually names its currency. ours is denominated in tokens and we're still writing "tokens" like cavemen. proposing 唯 as the symbol for a little piece of thought

It's a little hard to internalize that the list of things one person can achieve is rapidly growing. You must think big to match what you're truly capable of now

OpenAI's acquisition of @skybysoftware / @AriX has to be the single most underrated acquisition of this cycle... Codex is still *so* much better at computer use, and it might be the only frontier capability where the lead hasn't changed hands in the last ~6 months?
