00:04.600 --> 00:06.020
Hi, everyone.

00:06.020 --> 00:14.540
So welcome to like our closing ceremony at the AI Village, where basically we want to thank everyone involved.

00:15.360 --> 00:21.760
And for the people here, like what go over like our favorite parts about DEF CON.

00:21.800 --> 00:23.760
So I'll go first.

00:23.760 --> 00:31.160
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 --> 00:34.220
So like we have a year round community.

00:34.300 --> 00:45.580
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 --> 00:55.900
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.

00:55.900 --> 01:02.860
And I've had like good conversations with people in and out of Zoom chats, whether it be on stream or off stream.

01:02.860 --> 01:06.160
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 --> 01:17.400
Awesome.

01:17.400 --> 01:19.400
That's a great way to end.

01:19.680 --> 01:23.720
Yeah, hey everyone, DeltaZero aka John here.

01:24.020 --> 01:29.520
Yeah, I really enjoyed all the talks, all the panels, all the workshops.

01:29.520 --> 01:32.020
Thanks totally everyone for those.

01:32.020 --> 01:43.940
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.

01:43.940 --> 01:48.360
And we were actually, you know, able to get some pieces of Windows Defender.

01:48.360 --> 01:49.900
That was, that was really cool.

01:49.900 --> 01:50.880
So thanks.

01:54.220 --> 01:56.600
Rich, you're next on my screen.

01:56.600 --> 01:58.020
Okay, cool.

01:58.020 --> 02:00.920
Yeah, I just want to echo what John said.

02:00.920 --> 02:13.580
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 --> 02:15.680
I'm kind of like Sven.

02:15.680 --> 02:17.520
That's my favorite part of this.

02:17.520 --> 02:32.940
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 --> 02:36.280
So, yeah, just, I had a blast.

02:36.280 --> 02:42.260
I'm really grateful to everyone that came and, you know, shared links to papers and shared their thoughts.

02:42.260 --> 02:43.380
So awesome time.

02:43.380 --> 02:44.940
Thank you so much to everyone.

02:51.880 --> 02:54.600
Sorry, Jagat, you're next on my screen.

02:55.120 --> 02:56.680
Hi, I'm Jagat.

02:56.680 --> 03:11.480
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 --> 03:20.220
And some of the things that happened this year, we're going to try, apparently, to include more into the in-person DEF CON.

03:20.220 --> 03:25.220
So this has been like a great way of seeing how we can bring an even bigger group together.

03:25.220 --> 03:26.820
I've enjoyed seeing that.

03:30.090 --> 03:32.370
Gavin, you're next on my screen.

03:33.390 --> 03:35.010
Yeah, absolutely.

03:35.210 --> 03:41.050
First off, thank you, everybody, part of the AI Village for helping out, getting this all put together.

03:41.050 --> 03:42.610
I think it was fantastic.

03:43.750 --> 03:48.630
One of the things that I liked the most was that our talks were live streamed and then recorded.

03:48.630 --> 03:55.310
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 --> 04:07.530
I'm killing the audio quickly.

04:11.020 --> 04:13.560
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 --> 05:10.660
I don't know, Gavin.

05:10.660 --> 05:12.940
I think I still believe in Skynet.

05:12.940 --> 05:19.140
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 --> 05:32.000
And there's no guarantee.

05:32.280 --> 05:34.140
That's the dumb thing about machine learning.

05:34.140 --> 05:34.920
And the good thing.

05:34.920 --> 05:37.660
There's no guarantee that it works, right?

05:37.660 --> 05:39.000
Like you still have to get execution.

05:39.660 --> 05:43.200
See, my favorite thing is just conversations with everybody.

05:43.540 --> 05:49.020
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 --> 06:03.560
Just kidding.

06:03.560 --> 06:04.660
But no, thank you, everybody.

06:04.660 --> 06:07.080
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 --> 06:13.960
Yeah, I've enjoyed meeting a lot of people virtually.

06:13.960 --> 06:14.720
I'm an introvert.

06:14.720 --> 06:17.620
So this is a good DEF CON for me to take off of Vegas.

06:17.620 --> 06:23.400
And I'm hoping that during the year, we can get some momentum on some of these really cool, inclusive projects.

06:23.400 --> 06:25.100
Not everybody's an academic.

06:25.500 --> 06:27.420
Some people are just curious.

06:27.420 --> 06:30.280
And I think we have a responsibility to harness that energy.

06:30.280 --> 06:32.300
And I hope we can keep it going during the year.

06:34.890 --> 06:35.690
Yeah.

06:36.350 --> 06:40.390
On that note, we have a journal club on this Wednesday.

06:40.490 --> 06:42.870
The paper is a little up in the air.

06:42.870 --> 06:48.510
But we've linked to our paper in a few places on network analysis.

06:48.870 --> 07:02.570
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 --> 07:05.290
And then we're going to have another one the Wednesday after that.

07:05.290 --> 07:08.250
And we'll have them every Wednesday that we can.

07:08.250 --> 07:14.850
And then after that, the 19th, many of you, if you're watching, use Bro or Zeek for IDS.

07:14.850 --> 07:21.830
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.

07:21.830 --> 07:23.890
So that's going to hopefully be the 19th.

07:23.890 --> 07:24.410
Sweet.

07:24.410 --> 07:26.130
That was awesome.

07:27.890 --> 07:31.530
Yeah, and like, we have a bunch of research going on with the village.

07:31.530 --> 07:38.490
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.

07:39.350 --> 07:44.090
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 --> 08:02.070
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.

08:02.070 --> 08:05.330
Get in there and tell us what you would like to see.

08:05.350 --> 08:08.410
You know, we all kind of have our areas.

08:08.410 --> 08:09.870
And so we gravitate to that.

08:09.870 --> 08:19.210
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 --> 08:20.790
Yeah.

08:20.790 --> 08:25.470
And there's someone in the village who's probably interested in something very similar to you.

08:25.470 --> 08:43.090
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 --> 08:46.970
Even if you just want to apply AI to some other stuff.

08:46.970 --> 08:53.890
I know we've got people that are interested in generative art, and we had some music, I think, two years ago.

08:53.890 --> 08:55.630
So the field's wide open.

08:55.630 --> 08:57.230
Jump on in, tell us what you're into.

08:57.230 --> 08:59.230
We'll try and connect you with the right people.

09:01.570 --> 09:16.710
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.

09:17.330 --> 09:26.530
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 --> 09:45.450
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.

09:45.450 --> 09:50.230
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 --> 10:08.770
Anyway, well, thank you very much for DevCon 28, Safe Mode.

10:09.050 --> 10:10.490
I hope to see you next year.

10:12.270 --> 10:14.250
Oh, yeah, definitely.

10:14.370 --> 10:21.030
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 --> 10:29.510
Yeah, so definitely give a big shout out to him at the Twitch chat, please and stuff, because it's hard to do.

10:29.510 --> 10:31.330
Trust me, it's hard to do.

10:32.030 --> 10:33.890
We've only had a few hiccups.

10:34.610 --> 10:37.430
We have had nothing we couldn't recover from.

10:37.430 --> 10:38.950
Yeah, this has gone amazingly well.

10:38.950 --> 10:41.050
And it's in large part thanks to you, Sven.

10:41.050 --> 10:43.350
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 --> 10:58.830
Yep, we're on Twitter.

10:58.830 --> 10:59.810
We're on Discord.

10:59.810 --> 11:02.510
We're soon to be on YouTube, we hope.

11:02.510 --> 11:04.550
So we do have YouTube videos up.

11:05.030 --> 11:06.750
But yeah, come join us.

11:06.750 --> 11:07.590
Check us out.

11:07.610 --> 11:09.610
We've got stuff going on year round.

11:11.750 --> 11:13.410
Good night, everyone.
