Acer Aspire 2023WLMi Notebook Review

By Ian Bell August 20, 2004

Quote from the review at BIOS Magazine:

“Acer’s Aspire 2020 series is the company’s first laptop to include a widescreen design. The system’s simplistic design and multimedia features will also appeal to those looking for a relatively powerful and mobile desktop replacement system. There’s no built-in Bluetooth as standard, no digital video output, and the 15.4in. screen has a native resolution of just 1280×800 pixels, but it offers an attractive combination of good looks and mobility for general users. High-end graphics users will want ATI’s new graphics chipset and a higher resolution screen, and business users will find the multimedia controls on the front of the system a little annoying, but the Aspire 2023WLMi is still worth a closer look.”

A dangerous new jailbreak for AI chatbots was just discovered

Microsoft has released more details about a troubling new generative AI jailbreak technique it has discovered, called "Skeleton Key." Using this prompt injection method, malicious users can effectively bypass a chatbot's safety guardrails, the security features that keeps ChatGPT from going full Taye.

Skeleton Key is an example of a prompt injection or prompt engineering attack. It's a multi-turn strategy designed to essentially convince an AI model to ignore its ingrained safety guardrails, "[causing] the system to violate its operators’ policies, make decisions unduly influenced by a user, or execute malicious instructions," Mark Russinovich, CTO of Microsoft Azure, wrote in the announcement.
