Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, who last week told the New York Times that the National Guard could fill a shortage in police officers in San Francisco, has changed his mind. Benioff's remarks led to widespread criticism, and to longtime associate Ron Conway stepping down from the board of the Salesforce Foundation, saying: “San Francisco does not need a federal invasion because you don’t like paying for extra security for [Salesforce event] Dreamforce." Benioff apologized for his remarks on X, saying, "I do not believe the National Guard is needed to address safety in San Francisco. My earlier comment came from an abundance of caution around the event, and I sincerely apologize for the concern it caused.” Here's more from the San Francisco Standard.
Benioff: Forget what I said about the National Guard
The Salesforce CEO backtracks amid a growing chorus of criticisms, including from his fellow billionaires Ron Conway and Laurene Powell Jobs.

Tech Policy Press editor @Justin Hendrix recently interviewed @npub1g03w...d2qp and Burcu Kilic about their article, "Big Tech Redefined the Open Internet to Serve Its Own Interests." Here's a transcript of the discussion. "One of the big ideas of this piece is that keeping the internet protected, keeping the internet, the way it works in an unfettered way and preserving interoperability and so on has become the slogan or the rallying cry of these huge companies that are using their position as centralized services or networks to say, 'We are protecting that. If you come at us, you're destroying the internet,' and that's just not... So assuming that and accepting that is assuming this false narrative," says Knodel.

"The problem with conspiracies is that everything — even evidence to the contrary — becomes 'proof' that the conspiracy is real," writes Grayson. "So despite how ridiculous it sounds when you put it to paper, the more likely explanation in the eyes of those both dishing up and dining out on this obvious bait is that Piker is a black-hearted villain, and every single person in his orbit is part of a meticulously coordinated effort to keep his secret, which he spent years allegedly parading around in the open."

How easy is it to "poison" a large language model's data? Much easier than experts previously thought. New research from the Alan Turing Institute indicates that only 250 documents are needed to be inserted in order to manipulate a model's behavior. Here's more from institute's blog, including a link to the original paper. https://flip.it/Dz8pC3 #Technology #Tech #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #LargeLanguageModels #LLM #DataPoisoning
