There may never have been a day as big as today for indie games. On the back of mass layoffs of major AAA studios, today more high-profile and under-the-radar gems are releasing on May 9th than any other day in recent memory. They need your support. Here's a thread of 'em! 🧵

I hacked Microsoft's AI bot for healthcare on a Friday night Within hours I could access data of multiple healthcare organizations, but it didn't stop there Microsoft fixed the issue, and then I did it again, and again, and again.. Here's the story of Lethal Injection: 💉

Today we released an open source model, DBRX, that beats all previous open source models on the standard benchmarks. The model itself is a Mixture of Experts (MoE), that's roughly twice the brains (132B) but half the cost (36B) of Llama2-70B. Making it both smart and cheap. Since only 36B expert parameters are used live, it's close to twice the speed (tokens/seconds) of Llama2-70B. We're excited to build custom versions of this for organizations that have proprietary data! Check it out! databricks.com/blog/announci…

The fact that they developed a complete zero-click to kernel chain, JUST to then force the device to open a web page to trigger the "real" chain, is the most bureaucratic exploit I can imagine 🙈 koeln.ftp.media.ccc.de/congr…

The founders of Databricks put together this strategy blog on where we think data platforms are headed in the future. We're moving Databricks quickly in this direction. This is very exciting and is the outcome of the MosaicML acquisition we did earlier this year! databricks.com/blog/what-is-…

The way Kaspersky wrote this, it's an interesting case study of defenders working out how to capture a zero-click exploit. I especially like that Kaspersky said what they tried that *didn’t work*, in addition to what did ultimately work. Let’s dive in with a thread!

We're very excited to be one of the launch partners for Meta's Llama 2 🦙! We got to test Llama 2 in advance and were very impressed. The new version also has a much more permissive license. We've set everything up so you can run it on Databricks today. sprou.tt/1jAGDwOR7kX

If you missed it yesterday, Microsoft released an advisory concerning the CVE-2023-36884: msrc.microsoft.com/update-gu…. This RCE is currently used by a TA and there is no patch. You should apply the mitigation described in the advisory. 1/4

I believe I just discovered a novel technique to get ChatGPT to create Ransomware, Keyloggers, and more. This bypasses the "I'm sorry, I cannot assist" response completely for writing malicious applications. More details in the thread.

A lot of our biggest #DataAISummit announcements today relate to #UnityCatalog, which is still the only catalog in the industry that spans all aspects of data and AI. Federation, Monitoring, sharing, LakehouseIQ, etc all build on it. Check out what's new: databricks.com/blog/whats-ne…
