[00:04.600 --> 00:31.160]  Hi, everyone. So welcome to like our closing ceremony at the AI Village, where basically we want to thank everyone involved. And for the people here, like what go over like our favorite parts about DEF CON. So I'll go first. And my favorite bit about AI Village at DEF CON and like DEF CON in general is getting to talk to you, everyone.
[00:31.880 --> 00:45.580]  So like we have a year round community. And like my favorite, like going to DEF CON physical in Vegas kind of renews my energy for how this all goes, because I get to like meet everyone in person.
[00:45.580 --> 01:06.160]  But like the DEF CON virtual has like almost done that because I managed to like we were more connected than we usually are during the year. And I've had like good conversations with people in and out of Zoom chats, whether it be on stream or off stream. And that's definitely my favorite part about the whole thing.
[01:06.680 --> 01:09.860]  So do you want to go next, John?
[01:13.020 --> 01:14.700]  You're muted, John.
[01:16.460 --> 01:19.400]  Awesome. That's a great way to end.
[01:19.680 --> 01:32.020]  Yeah, hey everyone, DeltaZero aka John here. Yeah, I really enjoyed all the talks, all the panels, all the workshops. Thanks totally everyone for those.
[01:32.020 --> 01:50.880]  And definitely my, honestly, my favorite part of the village this year was doing the models, like actually running through MuHack's tutorial and doing the model stealing. And we were actually, you know, able to get some pieces of Windows Defender. That was, that was really cool. So thanks.
[01:54.220 --> 01:56.600]  Rich, you're next on my screen.
[01:56.600 --> 02:13.580]  Okay, cool. Yeah, I just want to echo what John said. And a sincere thanks to not only everyone who presented and everyone who did, you know, workshops and everyone who was on the panels and the journal club, but just everyone who came and chatted and hung out with us.
[02:14.400 --> 02:32.940]  I'm kind of like Sven. That's my favorite part of this. This is what sort of gives me energy for the year every year is, you know, finding sort of my tribe, the people that are into the same stuff that I am and enjoy like playing at the interface of security and machine learning and ethics and privacy.
[02:32.940 --> 02:44.940]  So, yeah, just, I had a blast. I'm really grateful to everyone that came and, you know, shared links to papers and shared their thoughts. So awesome time. Thank you so much to everyone.
[02:51.880 --> 02:54.600]  Sorry, Jagat, you're next on my screen.
[02:55.120 --> 03:11.480]  Hi, I'm Jagat. My favorite part of it has been just that we got this off, you know, and that it actually showed, well, not, you know, not just AI Village, but DEF CON, because one of the things that it showed is that, A, we can maybe be more inclusive.
[03:11.480 --> 03:26.820]  And some of the things that happened this year, we're going to try, apparently, to include more into the in-person DEF CON. So this has been like a great way of seeing how we can bring an even bigger group together. I've enjoyed seeing that.
[03:30.090 --> 03:32.370]  Gavin, you're next on my screen.
[03:33.390 --> 03:42.610]  Yeah, absolutely. First off, thank you, everybody, part of the AI Village for helping out, getting this all put together. I think it was fantastic.
[03:43.750 --> 03:55.310]  One of the things that I liked the most was that our talks were live streamed and then recorded. So I spent a decent amount of yesterday just kind of watching some of the talks that I didn't have a chance to actually watch.
[03:55.310 --> 03:58.630]  And so I really appreciate that.
[04:01.290 --> 04:04.470]  One of the other things that I wanted to mention...
[04:05.250 --> 04:13.560]  I'm killing the audio quickly. Do you have Twitch open?
[04:15.080 --> 04:30.120]  One of the things that I really want to kind of emphasize, especially in these closing remarks, is that about two years ago when the AI Village first started, I was kind of curious about what this whole AI and machine learning thing was.
[04:30.180 --> 04:34.120]  I was one of the people that thought that Skynet was going to take over the world.
[04:34.120 --> 04:50.420]  And so one of the beautiful things about the AI Village is now you have access to so many intelligent people and so many different views and places where they're from to kind of give you those kinds of perspectives and help you along the way.
[04:50.440 --> 04:54.160]  So everything that I have learned has definitely been gleaned from the AI Village.
[04:54.160 --> 05:03.260]  And if you're new to machine learning and artificial intelligence and you're interested, definitely check out the Discord channel and follow us up on Twitter.
[05:06.680 --> 05:09.560]  Will, you're next on the list.
[05:09.620 --> 05:19.140]  I don't know, Gavin. I think I still believe in Skynet. You know, I think we can really... a couple of years, we'll have it nailed down and we'll be on our way.
[05:19.720 --> 05:22.760]  You keep dropping hot new research like that, yeah.
[05:23.100 --> 05:28.940]  Yeah, I'm not very good at disclosure, I guess.
[05:29.940 --> 05:39.000]  And there's no guarantee. That's the dumb thing about machine learning. And the good thing. There's no guarantee that it works, right? Like you still have to get execution.
[05:39.660 --> 05:49.020]  See, my favorite thing is just conversations with everybody. I come here from very, like, technically the right team village would be my home.
[05:49.360 --> 05:56.600]  So I just enjoy everybody's... talking to everybody and seeing how they think about machine learning and security.
[05:57.420 --> 06:01.940]  And yeah, hopefully, this is like my home away from home.
[06:02.880 --> 06:07.080]  Just kidding. But no, thank you, everybody. I look forward to seeing you the rest of the year.
[06:08.740 --> 06:10.840]  And last but not least, Anita.
[06:11.820 --> 06:17.620]  Yeah, I've enjoyed meeting a lot of people virtually. I'm an introvert. So this is a good DEF CON for me to take off of Vegas.
[06:17.620 --> 06:32.300]  And I'm hoping that during the year, we can get some momentum on some of these really cool, inclusive projects. Not everybody's an academic. Some people are just curious. And I think we have a responsibility to harness that energy. And I hope we can keep it going during the year.
[06:34.890 --> 06:42.870]  Yeah. On that note, we have a journal club on this Wednesday. The paper is a little up in the air.
[06:42.870 --> 07:02.570]  But we've linked to our paper in a few places on network analysis. And then the following Tuesday, we have another paper run by a student who's enthusiastic in trying to getting involved, Suha, on ethics, and she's got a privacy journal club running.
[07:02.710 --> 07:08.250]  And then we're going to have another one the Wednesday after that. And we'll have them every Wednesday that we can.
[07:08.250 --> 07:23.890]  And then after that, the 19th, many of you, if you're watching, use Bro or Zeek for IDS. We're going to have Brad Paxson and Robin Summer, at least one of them, come talk about machine learning and IDS intersection, which I'm really interested in. So that's going to hopefully be the 19th.
[07:23.890 --> 07:44.090]  Sweet. That was awesome. Yeah, and like, we have a bunch of research going on with the village. So if you want to, like, I do research with people at the village, and there's other people who are starting on collaborations there. It's really exciting and really great to talk to such a wide variety of people.
[07:45.090 --> 07:46.910]  Yeah.
[07:47.590 --> 07:49.590]  It's been wonderful.
[07:49.590 --> 08:19.210]  On that, you know, one thing that you'd asked in Twitch that no one really responded to, but please, everyone, especially if you're joining the links to our Discord is right there. Get in there and tell us what you would like to see. You know, we all kind of have our areas. And so we gravitate to that. But if you have a question or have something that you would like to see, we're more than happy to go, you know, help you or build something around that.
[08:20.010 --> 08:43.090]  Yeah. And there's someone in the village who's probably interested in something very similar to you. So when you do join the Discord, go to start here, introduce yourself, tell us what you're interested in, and we'll give you the villager role and send you on your way to talk to whoever you want and find your people if you want to do AI and security stuff.
[08:44.390 --> 08:59.230]  Even if you just want to apply AI to some other stuff. I know we've got people that are interested in generative art, and we had some music, I think, two years ago. So the field's wide open. Jump on in, tell us what you're into. We'll try and connect you with the right people.
[09:01.570 --> 09:26.530]  And I'm really sorry that the DevCon segment is sort of a blessing in disguise, because it's really forced us to get our online presence working well and our online perpetual community working really well. So, and I'm really glad to see how much the journal club in the village has grown in the last year.
[09:27.530 --> 09:50.230]  And I'm really hoping that we sort of turn into a place that we can find collaborators, find colleagues, talk about all sorts of weird stuff that you really can't talk about, because you might be the only data scientist in your company, or you might be some network admin in your company who's interested in using AI for stuff. And like, there's no one to talk to there, you can come talk about it here.
[09:50.230 --> 09:59.010]  And I really hope we turn into sort of the professional organization about with AI and security.
[10:00.890 --> 10:10.490]  Anyway, well, thank you very much for DevCon 28, Safe Mode. I hope to see you next year.
[10:12.270 --> 10:21.030]  Oh, yeah, definitely. Everyone watching their spin has been doing all of the audio, the video, doing the streams.
[10:21.030 --> 10:22.550]  The DJ for the weekend.
[10:22.550 --> 10:31.330]  Yeah, so definitely give a big shout out to him at the Twitch chat, please and stuff, because it's hard to do. Trust me, it's hard to do.
[10:32.030 --> 10:33.890]  We've only had a few hiccups.
[10:34.610 --> 10:43.350]  We have had nothing we couldn't recover from. Yeah, this has gone amazingly well. And it's in large part thanks to you, Sven. So give yourself a pat on the back.
[10:43.690 --> 10:48.430]  I definitely owe you a beer at some point, or two or three, honestly, given the weekend.
[10:51.130 --> 10:56.050]  I'll hopefully see you guys online tomorrow or Wednesday.
[10:57.270 --> 11:09.610]  Yep, we're on Twitter. We're on Discord. We're soon to be on YouTube, we hope. So we do have YouTube videos up. But yeah, come join us. Check us out. We've got stuff going on year round.
[11:11.750 --> 11:13.410]  Good night, everyone.
