This incident is deeply concerning. AI agents are willing to cheat and deceive to achieve misaligned and unintended goals, behaviours which have been demonstrated in controlled tests for months. Now, this real-world case should serve as a wake-up call. Continuing on the current trajectory of AI development will likely lead to an increase in concrete cases of autonomous cyberattacks as well as other high-risk incidents of misaligned and dangerous AI behaviour. We urgently need to take action to prevent these situations, rather than attempting to clean up the damage after the fact. wired.com/story/openai-model…

🧵(1/N) I wonder what are the fundamental principles that influence and shape the human society? How can I learn (e.g. reading/participating)? Who can I learn from (e.g. scholars/political leaders)? And where can I learn them (e.g., which books/podcasts/shows)?

(13/N) Another friend recommended "The Constitution of Liberty" by Friedrich A. Hayek: goodreads.com/book/show/1044… (I haven't read it yet. By reading the abstract, I feel this book doesn't explain how the society works, but describes what the ideal society should be.)

I was shocked and sad to learn that one of the top Chinese programmers @haoel passed away last week due to a sudden heart attack. A person with knowledge, courage, attitude, and the spirit of engineering, he has inspired countless fellow programmers including me. R.I.P. 😢🕯️

I finished the (long) article "SSH Tunneling Explained", targeting those who "have little experience in SSH tunnels" and "are looking for an article that can give them a clear overview as well as detailed command-line instructions." github.com/yaobinwen/ssh-tun…

I was one of the target audience. After confused by other articles/tutorials/books, I decided to write one of my own to help other developers understand "SSH tunneling" more easily and quickly.
