Reminds me this research done by Anthropic. https://www.anthropic.com/research/sleeper-agents-training-d...

And the method of probes for Sleeper Agents in LLM https://www.anthropic.com/research/probes-catch-sleeper-agen...

Now China can finally block access to GitHub.

The commit history from bad actor set tomezone to +0800 Source: https://boehs.org/node/everything-i-know-about-the-xz-backdo...

In my understanding, in order to obtain results, data still needs to be sent to services like OpenAI and Azure... etc.

But they said "The prompts and data entered by the user are viewable only to that individual; they are not shared with LLM vendors, nor can the data be used to train those models."

How is that achieved?

Add one more related:

Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36862494

Outlook did that actually (preventing two humans from communication without reason)

For example, the automatic domain validation of Apple Pay Merchant never happen.

Merchant using letsencrypt need to validate domain every 3 by hand. And that "feature" even exists on their document.

It's really matter because of this: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/14/zhenhua-data-f...

And I immediately check blizzard cn website. They don't even has this announcement.

I really hate this but it's our everyday life to see actor or singer we love they need to apology to China on their social media almost every month.

These stars from Taiwan who have PRs in China, their Weibo wall may have post they do not agree automatically. That's because these PRs in China work so hard to doing their damage control job before everything goes wrong. I think years before, this may worked in China.

But something changed recently. There are too many "internet red guards" in China. They want to use the same criteria to censor whole world by VPN the great wall. Once "internet red guards" target a company or star, they will dig everything they don't like(maybe 5 years ago!!) and post inside the wall. Then they encourage everyone in China boycott it. After that, government have excuse to suspend someones business. That's why Morey's twit cause NBA so much.

And I don't think situation like this that Weibo post of Blizzard will do any help once Blizzard they need to apology to people outside of china. But we don't see Blizzard have any announcement to us yet. I think this PR post or discussion inside great wall is a clever move that control Blizzard international. They want Blizzard to say nothing or it will cause them more damage in China.

What next? I just checked how many game companies owned by Tencent. I don't think situation will going better. Especially these are popular esport games (Fortnite, LOL, PUBG)

Instead wasting time to build culture influence. They simply bought companies from western and become rule maker.

For example, Tencent already bought two popular esport game companies from U.S.(riot game /epic game). Not only for making money, also for ruling esport world.
