Large language models are now capable of automating attacks that were previously only possible by human adversaries. In this talk, I discuss several ways that adversaries could mis-use current models in order to cause harm both at a larger scale and at a lower cost than they do currently. For example, we find that recent state-of-the-art models can now find 0-day vulnerabilities in large software projects that have been extensively tested by humans for decades. These new capabilities will alter the threat landscape and require we rethink security in the coming years.
this is an ad
AI has achieved rank: script kiddy
Y’all got any interesting news?
I’m tired of the bullshit ads disguised as “experts” and “studies”
Just use the same AI to white hat. 🤷♂️
That headline doesnt parse for me
A black hat is a malicious(evil) hacker. The goal is unauthorized access of remote computer systems, typically. The closer to root the better.
A grey hat is a neutral hacker. Probably mostly a curiosity, no good or bad intent. Perhaps like someone who’s trying to reverse engineer a game console because they own a lot of games and they’re just curious how it all works. Or someone that just wants to make a backup of a movie (circumvent DRM.)
A white hat is a benevolent hacker that seeks to fix exploits that black hats use to perform their crimes. And they often target the greys(but usually the lawyers are more effective there.)
This guy who’s job expertise is cyber security and LLMs is very very worried. The models are improving exponentially and finding very advanced vulnerabilities now. This is a serious problem.
“To Black Hat” = hacking
I’m just some hobo and I too am very very worried.
Remember when AI outclassed the best Go player in the world?
That was in 2016.
As I recall Go players have adapted and have found ways to induce hallucinations and beat the machine, some using other AI. Others have adopted “adversarial strategies.”

They say it’s comprehensible enough that a human “expert” can do it without algorithmic assistance.
