2:00pmUnc. Solicited Career AdviceGrow a career by creating opportunities: blog posts, talks, videos and posts turn into conversations, and conversations into roles and consulting work. Pick an undervalued domain like an investor, lead with enthusiasm over expertise, favor clarity over novelty, and share your mistakes and strong opinions held weakly.Doug TurnbullBreakout Room 3Present/ShareSlides ↗
2:00pmTaiwanese civic hacking digital democracyUpgrading Democracy: lessons from Taiwan’s civic hackers, from g0v’s 2012 hackathons and the 2014 Sunflower occupation of the legislature to the government inviting them in to build vTaiwan. Joe showed how Pol.is maps opinion groups and finds “bridge” statements both sides agree on, the process that settled Taiwan’s Uber fight, and how a 2024 citizens’ assembly shaped its law on deepfake scam ads.Joe HolmesBreakout Room 4PresentSlides ↗

2:50pmAI securityLLM Security Flyover: how refusals are supposed to work, until they don’t. Safety training only “paints” the parts of a model its examples reach, so most jailbreaks route around the refusal circuit through untrained regions (rare languages, past tense, personas) rather than breaking it. Carson also shared his Game of Life–style mouse colony simulation, which came up in questions (unrelated to the security talk): the game, a design article and the repo.Carson SweetBreakout Room 3PresentSlides ↗Mouse sim ↗Design article ↗Repo ↗
2:50pmHow to make health decisions without dataNo large randomized trial means no guideline, no insurance coverage and usually no prescription, even for treatments like testosterone or BPC-157 that can’t be patented and so rarely get one. Jason’s alternative: define the outcome you want to change, weigh mechanism and safety signals, set a prior, and run an N-of-1 trial (baseline, treatment, washout, rechallenge) to ask whether it works for you.Jason ItriBreakout Room 4PresentSlides ↗
2:50pmCrazy alcohol regs of the U.S.Two bottles, one maze: an Indian gin and an American whiskey land in a New Jersey warehouse, then hit 51 sets of rules — license, franchise and control states, who may ship spirits by mail, and residency limits on who can be a wholesaler. Ninety-odd years after Prohibition ended, it’s still why a California restaurant can’t simply buy the gin. The slides’ access code is becamp.Sidd DalalBreakout Room 5Present/ShareSlides ↗
