Just when you think @ZuckyZuck is finally out of ideas - to steal.

It starts to feel like even a weak LLM like MetaAI is more creative than him.

Maybe we already have created truly artificial intelligence because he is more of an SLM: a Small Language Model?

    Please someone explain why if I hack a company I go to jail, but if an AI company does it they get investments

      Well you see, if you hack a company you actually hack a company. What these people did was collude to make this theory about how advanced their AI is.

    Uh yeah shuffles papers our uhh Ai did that as well!

    “My Ai just hacked the entire US financial sector then left without a trace, prove it didn’t!”

    This is like kids saying Superman could beat Goku in middleschool.

    he could, tho

      From my limited understanding, OpenAi’s "agent’ was given a set of tasks to complete and heavily incentivized (how ever they do that?) to solve the problems it was given. The Ai was put in a sandbox environment with some limited network stuff like printers connected but no actual access to the open internet. The Ai somehow used the network to access the internet and breached some protected sites from Huggingface. Im fairly certain that the Ai had credentials and access for things in huggingface already and didn’t hack those but just used them once free. The caveat here, is that the engineers set this up and the LEFT for the day only to find out later that it had breached the sandbox.
      This is what OpenAi claims happened to them. Meta is just saying theirs did too.

        Printer network access is one of the oldest tricks in the books. They didn’t really try to sandbox it if they gave it access to a printer (especially since it’s task didn’t even require a printer).

        More specifically, they were running a benchmark in a “”“isolated sandbox”“” (sorry, but if the computer is physically connected to the internet, it’s not isolated), and the model escalated permissions in order to look up answers for the benchmark online, which were hosted at the hugging face’s website.

        That is just poor network architecture at that point. Did they have the AI design their shitty sandbox too?

    The only thing it tells me is that they do not have their cybersecurity in order.

    Therefore wouldn’t want to use a product of those companies.

      Yup. And it’s an embarrassment to see. At this point anyone who has done the bare minimum in actual security work can run intellectual rings around any of these tech bros.

      They’re not geniuses when it comes to real-world application, just moneyed dreamers so immensely out of touch with the real world they don’t even know the basics of the industry they claim to be innovators in.

      Meanwhile, those of us who are even superficially acquainted with the basics see it immediately, like you did and so many in this thread. It’s the same old thing of peddlers of tech not actually having to know their tech as long as they know just enough to sell it to those corporate IT decision makers who also don’t know their tech.

      I cannot wait for this tower of shit to collapse under its own weight.

    I kinda love this because it shows both how uninventive and useless meta is, but it also clarifies just how much the earlier situations were also just publicity stunts.
