Deepfake Creators Are Revictimizing GirlsDoPorn Sex Trafficking Survivors

Among those charged, Ruben Andre Garcia, a GirlsDoPorn producer and recruiter, was sentenced to 20 years in prison; Matthew Isaac Wolfe, who admitted to having a “wide range of responsibilities” at GirlsDoPorn, according to the DOJ, was sentenced to 14 years; cameraman Theodore Wilfred Gyi was sentenced to four years; and GirlsDoPorn bookkeeper Valorie Moser pleaded guilty to one charge of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and is awaiting sentencing. Finally, in March this year, the alleged GirlsDoPorn mastermind, Michael Pratt, was extradited from Spain to the US to face charges linked to the operation. He has pleaded not guilty.…

The US Is Being Flooded by Chinese Vapes

The US Is Being Flooded by Chinese Vapes

In late March, a smoke shop in Dyersburg, Tennessee, announced the arrival of a new product in its store: a disposable nicotine vape with an LCD display that can be connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth. Marketed under the brand name RAMA, the strawberry- and kiwi-flavored vape looks more like a cell phone from the early 2000s than a typical e-cigarette. It allows users to customize the screen background, see how many puffs of nicotine are left, and even track the device’s location using an accompanying app. “NEVER LOSE YOUR VAPE AGAIN!!!!” Mk Smoke Shop said in a Facebook post.Far…

An SAP employee reported a workplace sexual assault. Now she’s breaking her NDA.

By March of 2020, Ashley Kostial thought she'd been through the worst of it. She'd worked through months of intensive treatment for post-traumatic stress and was focused on managing her mental health and landing a new job.It had been nearly a year since Kostial reported being raped by a colleague during a work trip for a subsidiary of the global enterprise software firm, SAP. She'd met him for the first time in May 2019, when she was an account manager, as they prepared for a sales meeting in Plano, Texas. Afterward, they got drinks at the Marriott hotel bar. The…

Robust Reinforcement Learning from Corrupted Human Feedback

Robust Reinforcement Learning from Corrupted Human Feedback

[Submitted on 21 Jun 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Robust Reinforcement Learning from Corrupted Human Feedback, by Alexander Bukharin and 5 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) provides a principled framework for aligning AI systems with human preference data. For various reasons, e.g., personal bias, context ambiguity, lack of training, etc, human annotators may give incorrect or inconsistent preference labels. To tackle this challenge, we propose a robust RLHF approach -- $R^3M$, which models the potentially corrupted preference label as sparse outliers. Accordingly, we formulate the robust reward learning as an…

Exploring LLM Multi-Agents for ICD Coding

Exploring LLM Multi-Agents for ICD Coding

arXiv:2406.15363v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive and diverse abilities that can benefit various domains, such as zero and few-shot information extraction from clinical text without domain-specific training. However, for the ICD coding task, they often hallucinate key details and produce high recall but low precision results due to the high-dimensional and skewed distribution of the ICD codes. Existing LLM-based methods fail to account for the complex and dynamic interactions among the human agents involved in coding, such as patients, physicians, and coders, and they lack interpretability and reliability. In this paper, we present a…

A US diplomat says US colleges need more Chinese students to enroll — but in the arts, so they can be walled off from accessing sensitive tech

Chinese students are still welcome in the US, but less so in fields of science where sensitive tech could be involved, Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said.However, the ideal international students for these fields are Indians, not Chinese, Campbell said. But he added that the US does need more Chinese students, too — just not in STEM."I would like to see more Chinese students coming to the United States to study humanities and social sciences, not particle physics," Campbell said.He also cited security concerns about letting Chinese students access sensitive technology."There's been careful attempts now across most American universities…
