AI pioneers and 400 scientists call for cutting off AI models from the internet
More than 400 scientists, including Geoffrey Hinton, known as the godfather of AI, and Yoshua Bengio, winner of the 2018 Turing Award, are calling for the most dangerous AI models to be disconnected from the internet. In an open letter released on Tuesday, they asked AI laboratories to "air-gap" network-capable models by default, that is, physically disconnect them from any external network. The letter pointed out that in the short term, strong sandbox mechanisms, including air-gapping, should be used to provide high-assurance control over network-capable AI models. As of Wednesday, the letter had 450 signatures, including Stuart Russell of the University of California, Berkeley, and Ron Rivest, co-inventor of the RSA encryption system. The letter mentioned that "network-capable models" refer to AI that can autonomously discover and exploit software vulnerabilities. Laboratories measure this skill inside a sandbox, a closed digital room where the AI can attack virtual targets without coming into contact with anything real.

In overnight U.S. trading, U.S. Treasury prices rebounded sharply.
According to news from Bijie, during overnight U.S. trading, U.S. Treasury prices rebounded sharply, reversing the earlier selloff triggered by the latest higher inflation data, with yields on most maturities turning lower. This highlights the market's tug-of-war over two scenarios: on the one hand, accelerating consumer price data, and on the other, Fed officials signaling they are in no hurry to raise rates further. Official U.S. data showed that the U.S. September CPI rose 3.7% year over year, exceeding the market expectation of 3.6%. After the data was released, the 2-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to its highest level in more than two weeks, then fell back from intraday highs along with long-term Treasury yields. Traders' bets on a Fed rate hike in October rose from 22% before the data release to about 40%, and as of publication, the probability had fallen back to 33%.
Fed's Daly: Rate hikes may be necessary, but not imminent.
According to CoinWorld news, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said on Wednesday that the Federal Reserve may need to further raise short-term interest rates to curb excessively high inflation, but she also noted that there is no need to take such action at the Fed's October 27-28 meeting. Daly said: "We very likely need to make further adjustments, but as for the timing of the adjustments, I think we are still deliberating. I don't think there is a need to rush a decision when information is limited. I think we have enough time."
