[Jan 2023] Jeffrey Ladish on AI Augmented Cyberwarfare and compute monitoring

Jeffrey Ladish is the Executive Director of Palisade Research which aimes so "study the offensive capabilities or AI systems today to better understand the risk of losing control to AI systems forever". He previously helped build out the information security program at Anthropic. Audio is a edit & re-master of the Twitter Space on "AI Governance and cyberwarfare" that happened a year ago. Posting now because I have only recently discovered how to get the audio & video from Twitter spaces and (most of) the arguments are still relevant today Jeffrey would probably have a lot more to say on things that happened since last year, but I still thought this was an interesting twitter spaces. Some of it was cutout to make it enjoyable to watch.
