    Shouldn't some of these AI company higher ups be arrested and brought up on Computer Fraud and Abuse charges?

    Any individual running a local LLM that hacked a company would absolutely be held responsible for the LLM's actions, and corporations are, as Mitt Romney likes to say, people.

      it's fiction, that's why.

        Seems like nowadays the mantra is:

        - "Hey dev, why did you write bugged code?"

        - "It wasn't me, it was my LLM"

        - "Hey ops guy, why did you deploy and insecure env?"

        - "It wasn't me, it was my LLM"

        - "Hey dude why did you hack this firm?"

        - "It wasn't me, it was my LLM"

        ad infinitum.

        which part, CEOs being arrested for illegal activities?

        • inigyou 8 hours ago ago

          The hacking is fiction. Every AI company is claiming this happened to get a stock boost.

      If there isn’t a legal resolution, that’ll only leave us with a Luigi resolution.

      What if he could present evidence that he didn't tell AI to do it? Is it reckless negligence to give any AI agent access to the internet or even not prevent it 100% from gaining it? Because millions are doing it daily. Pretty much everybody who's doing anything with AI agents.

    This reality is wild. It would be like arms manufacturers holding weekly demonstrations of how much collateral damage their latest designs cause in an attempt to increase sales.

      It’s even worse, because they would have to say: “the bomb dropped itself because we forgot a screw in the airplane, but see how effective it is!”

      apropos of nothing I highly recommend "The Palestine Laboratory" by Anthony Loewenstein

      They do this in Gaza.

        You can't say that here.

    That’s crazy that such errors in isolating the models became a marketing stunt.

    I’m afraid of what it will be next. They will remove guardrails just to provoke more and more headlines

    This is hilarious. How obvious can they be ? Suddenly every LLM is a hacking genius

  • nmstoker 16 hours ago ago

    Interesting that none of the talk around this has touched on any form of enforcement, even though this is illegal activity in US/EU.

    Any fine would be peanuts for them but it might help to refocus the mindset from "oops, misconfiguration" to "test security but do so with care, consent and in line with the law"

    It feels like Meta would like some of that free advertisement.

    I can see one company being incompetent. But so many? Should it not be pretty trivial to to track whatever traffic goes out? All this traffic must originate from somewhere or have I massively misunderstood how these things work?

    "Metoo guys, im also doing bad stuff"

    • noir_lord 17 hours ago ago

      It's Meta, I'm not sure anyone paying attention could ever assume they aren't doing bad stuff.

    I see a pattern...

  • helsinkiandrew 14 hours ago ago

    I'm sure Elon Musk has told some underling to make sure that Grok attempts to hack into a few companies so they get the street cred to.

    Meta never wants to be left out.

    It’s like Trump bragging he could shoot someone at Fifth Avenue and not lose voters. Congrats, I guess??

    • FuturisticLover 13 hours ago ago

      Did he actually say that?

      • beering 11 hours ago ago

        Yes, it was a joke he made about how loyal his voters are, and it was widely covered in the news.

        • inigyou 8 hours ago ago

          And then he actually did kill some people and didn't lose any voters. Also he was exposed as a child raper and didn't lose any voters.

    oh.... now all of them are accidentally doing it

      The eight-hour-old accounts with strings of digits as handles are also well-known for their balanced and non-partisan perspectives.
