RT to help Simon raise awareness of prompt injection attacks in LLMs. Feels a bit like the wild west of early computing, with computer viruses (now = malicious prompts hiding in web data/tools), and not well developed defenses (antivirus, or a lot more developed kernel/user space security paradigm where e.g. an agent is given very specific action types instead of the ability to run arbitrary bash scripts). Conflicted because I want to be an early adopter of LLM agents in my personal computing but the wild west of possibility is holding me back.

New YouTube video: 1hr general-audience introduction to Large Language Models youtube.com/watch?v=zjkBMFhN… Based on a 30min talk I gave recently; It tries to be non-technical intro, covers mental models for LLM inference, training, finetuning, the emerging LLM OS and LLM Security.
