Long contexts represent a new front in the struggle to control LLMs. We explored a family of attacks that are newly feasible due to longer context lengths, as well as candidate mitigations. We found that the effectiveness of attacks, and of in-context learning more generally, could be characterized by simple power laws. This provides a richer source of feedback for mitigating long-context attacks than the standard approach of measuring frequency of success

How to UPGRADE iPad note taking (with Science)
Nonlinear. Networks. (How is this different from the knowledge graph? Some people also add icons and emotions for mnemonics. Others make menus by scanning the package labels rather than the dish photos so they get the ingredients, nutrients, and calories. Also fits into a spreadsheet. Food for chatbots. This was about Apple.)
