Meme says ML Twitter and security Twitter always read the other field’s coolest paper

A meme contrasts how AI and security Twitter read about their own fields.
- Machine Learning Twitter is shown reading Smashing the Stack for Fun and Profit while a stack of “practical” security books sits nearby.
- Security Twitter is shown reading Distilling the Knowledge in a Neural Network while books about instruction following, scaling laws, and few-shot learning are stacked beside them.
- The joke is that each community gravitates toward the other field’s “cooler” or more exotic foundational work, rather than the bread-and-butter material in its own domain.
