“Machine Learning systems have *profound* difficult to identify vulnerabilities
…
One of the hardest things in the world is to figure out whether a distribution is random. If I give you a thousand digits of pi, unless you know that they’re a thousand digits of pi, they will seem random to you. But they’re not random, they’re deterministic, they’re a thousand digits of pi!
…
It’s very hard to look at the data that you’re feeding to the algorithm and say ‘Is this random?’”
