The document discusses several studies and cases that demonstrate how context and environment can influence people's behavior and cause them to act in irrational or evil ways. It describes the Stanford Prison Experiment, which showed how assigning normal people roles as guards and prisoners in a simulated prison caused guards to abuse their power. It also discusses the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal and how most of the guards claimed they were following orders from superiors. Finally, it mentions Milgram's experiment that showed people's willingness to obey authority figures even if it meant harming others. The key question discussed is whether such cases represent "bad apples in a bad barrel" or the power of context and environment to override people's normal dispositions.

474 2015 group influences, obedience
The document discusses several classic social psychology experiments that demonstrate how social influences and group settings can powerfully shape human attitudes, opinions, and behaviors - for better or worse. It summarizes Milgram's obedience experiments which shockingly found that over 65% of participants continued administering electric shocks to another person when instructed by an authority figure. It also discusses Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment which was abruptly stopped after students quickly adopted sadistic or depressed roles based on being assigned as guards or prisoners. Both experiments highlight how ordinary people can engage in harmful or abusive behaviors when situated within powerful social and institutional contexts.
Criminal profiling
(1) Criminal profiling began informally in the late 1940s to help investigations but initial profiles were not very helpful. The case of the "Mad Bomber" in the 1950s demonstrated how effective profiling could be when it directly led police to identify and apprehend the offender.
(2) There are two main approaches to profiling - inductive uses research on similar past crimes while deductive analyzes each crime individually. A 2010 study found brief training in inductive profiling produced more accurate profiles than no training, especially for physical characteristics.
(3) Characteristics of the crime scene can provide clues to the offender's personality and organization. Organized crime scenes suggest an offender who is socially competent while disorganized
Lucifer Effect
The document discusses the concept of the "Lucifer Effect" where good people can become evil depending on their situation and environment. It explores how power, psychological factors, mortality, and external situations can change a person's disposition from kind to cruel or indifferent. The document examines the work of psychologists who study how internal traits interact with external situations and systemic environments to influence human behavior.
Philip Zimbardo: The Lucifer Effect
The document summarizes Philip Zimbardo's work on how situational forces and systems can influence normally good people to do evil acts. It discusses studies such as the Stanford Prison Experiment and Milgram's study on obedience to authority that showed participants inflicting harm due to situational coercion rather than dispositional evil. Zimbardo argues understanding what creates evil systems is key to addressing evil, and calls for awareness of how anonymity, stereotyping, conformity and other social influences can override individual morality.

Obedience
Obedience is a form of social influence that involves performing an action under the orders of an authority figure. It differs from
compliance (which involves changing your behavior at the request of another person) and
conformity (which involves altering your behavior in order to go along with the rest of the group). Instead, obedience involves altering your behavior because a figure of authority has told you to.
The milgram shock experiment
The Milgram experiment was carried out many times whereby Milgram (1965) varied the basic procedure (changed the IV). By doing this Milgram could identify which factors affected obedience (the DV). Obedience was measured by how many participants were shocked to the maximum 450 volts (65% in the original study).
This File contains my perspective of the experiment and gives a better idea about the concept of obedience.
Hunter Poster for April 25[1]
The document describes a pilot study that explored using the film "Compliance" about the Milgram obedience experiments in classroom settings. Participants viewed information about Milgram's experiments and clips from "Compliance" then answered questions about their knowledge and opinions. The results showed that participants who had more knowledge about Milgram's experiments and the film were significantly more likely to endorse using the film in class than less knowledgeable participants, suggesting substantive instruction is needed before showing the film.

Does the End Justify the Means
Lesley Rawlins The end justifies the means
The end justifies the means is an expression that is often used in society to validate or excuse distasteful and objectionable actions undertaken by its people. In effect, the phrase is a justification for dispensing with all morality and principle in the passage towards a successful conclusion. The Greek writer Sophocles wrote in Electra 409 BC the end excuses any evil. This was a thought later considered, by the Roman poet Ovid, the result justifies the deed (c. 10 B.C.).
In simpler terms, anything is reasonable if it leads to a significant and meaningful outcome. The term has been used to explain actions and behaviours ranging from cheating to pass an exam, stealing to...show more content...Zimbardo s prison experiment at Stanford University was a study on what the psychological effects of becoming a prisoner or prison guard was on the individual. Zimbardo wanted to investigate whether the cruelty reported among guards in American prisons was due to the aggressive personalities of the guards or the prison environment itself. Twenty four well adjusted undergraduates were selected out of over 75 to play the roles of both guards and prisoners. The guards were permitted to devise most of the rules. A third of the guards exhibited genuine sadistic tendencies, and subjected the prisoners to torture. After the initial rebellion most of the prisoners stopped opposing the guards losing their personal identity and self belief. Zimbardo s research demonstrated that people ca
Social psychologist Philip Zimbardo (1974; Haney, Banks, & Zimbard.docx
Social psychologist Philip Zimbardo (1974; Haney, Banks, & Zimbardo, 1973) wanted to investigate how role expectations shape behavior. He was intrigued by the possibility that the frequently observed cruelty of prison guards was a consequence of the institutional setting and role, not the guards’ personalities.
In an experiment that has since become well known, Zimbardo converted the basement of a Stanford University building into a makeshift prison. A newspaper ad seeking young men to take part in the experiment for pay drew 70 subject candidates, who were given a battery of physical and psychological tests to assess their emotional stability and maturity. The most mature 24 were selected for the experiment and randomly assigned
to roles as “guards” or “prisoners.” Those assigned to be prisoners were “arrested,” handcuffed, and taken
to the makeshift prison by the Palo Alto police. The behavior of the guards and the prisoners was filmed. Within a week, the prison setting took on many of the characteristics of actual prisons. The guards were often aggressive and seemed to
take pleasure in being cruel. The prisoners began planning escapes and expressed hostility and bitterness toward the guards.
The subjects in the experiment so identified with their respective roles that many of them displayed

signs of depression and anxiety.
As a result, some were released early, and the experiment was canceled
before the first week was over. Since the participants had all been screened for psychological and physical problems, Zimbardo concluded that the results could not be attributed to their personalities. Instead, the prison setting itself (the

Stanford Prison Study
The document summarizes the Stanford Prison Experiment conducted by Philip Zimbardo. In the experiment, male college students were randomly assigned to play the role of either prisoners or guards in a mock prison. The guards quickly began behaving in authoritarian and abusive ways towards the prisoners. This supported Zimbardo's theory that the situation and social roles people are placed in have a major influence on their behavior, rather than individual personality traits. However, the experiment faced criticism for its lack of ecological validity, failure to replicate results, and serious ethical issues in subjecting participants to psychological harm without intervention.
Psyco milgram
Stanley Milgram conducted an experiment in the 1960s to test how far people would obey an authority figure who instructed them to harm another person. In the experiment, participants were told to administer electric shocks to a learner for giving wrong answers, with the shock levels increasing up to 450 volts. Surprisingly, 65% of participants administered the full 450 volts, even though they heard the learner pleading in pain. The experiment revealed that ordinary people may obey orders to harm others when instructed by an authority figure.

In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
