What are the biggest mistakes with beginner tips in AI Security Research?

[wildnaomi]

There are several ways to approach AI Security Research, so I wanted to compare experiences.

I am particularly interested in beginner tips and learning curve. I would like to compare approaches that people have actually used rather than just theoretical suggestions.

Are there any settings, tools, or workflow changes that made a noticeable difference?

A practical way to approach compare and several is to decide what success looks like before you change anything. Otherwise it's easy to keep tweaking without knowing whether you're actually improving it. I would trust a repeatable result more than one impressive run.
