Able to destroy a charge cable via an arc flash on multiple brands of wall charger, which creates smoke, fumes, and fire. Software vulnerability leading to absurdly dangerous situations. – Anderson & Kaliyanackis #BHUSA #LivePost
cables were heated to over 177°C before failure, which is dangerous on its own (severe burns and worse). – Anderson & Kaliyanackis #BHUSA #LivePost
Software safety can just be broken too -- found an uncompromised charger reporting 46A but was actually passing 80A! – Anderson & Kaliyanackis #BHUSA #LivePost

2 of 8 chargers tested didn't have any software-level over-current protection (including the OpenEVSE firmware) – Anderson & Kaliyanackis #BHUSA #LivePost

Pwn2Own demonstrated that EV wall chargers often have serious vulnerabilities. Aim to test to see if this means we can create unsafe conditions – Anderson & Kaliyanackis #BHUSA #LivePost

Go figure I cut my finger last night. Hate typing with band-aids.
We don't have enough clinical data to know what do do about "ChatGPT psychosis", but we do have enough clinical data to know that it's real, and that it has ended people's lives – Gary Marcus #BHUSA #LivePost
We do have a huge problem with loneliness. Social media has been a huge part of that. AI systems do have the potential to help with this, but they also have a large potential for harm. And a lot of it comes from opportunity costs (using chatbots for companionship means not developing social skills and building real relationships). May provide short-term comfort, but there's serious concern about long-term harms. – Gary Marcus #BHUSA #LivePost
There's an illusion of understanding created when people look at a diagram or see a video explanation or the like. But the understanding isn't genuinely there and breaks down when challenged – Gary Marcus #BHUSA #LivePost

I'm really worried that we're headed toward a world where we don't have entry-level jobs that train younger people to be experienced and senior people. We're seeing a tiny effect already (which media overstates), but we're on that path. – Gary Marcus #BHUSA #LivePost
