      I am engaging with this, because I want to believe Lemmy can be better than Reddit.

      That being said, while I agree that LLMs and diffusion models should never touch anything close to art, anything that is life or death and anything legal or financial, it’s important to remember, AI is an entire subfield of research in Computer Science, its many decades old and encompasses so many technologies that I could not even name them all.

      LLMs and diffusion models are two of its many impressive achievements, we literally solved the natural language processing problem. It took us like 70 years, and because some silicon valley ghouls’ rhetoric, we get (supposedly) well meaning people talking like Luddites.

      Fundamentally correct, there is a machine now that can replace some workers, but technology isn’t the problem, the capitalists are. This technology can make so many people’s lives easier, so many things better and it doesn’t need to be expensive or cause harm to the planet, because all of that is a fundamental problem with capitalism, this is not leaded gasoline.

        It’s always funny to see the priorities. People were asking how the bunker owning billionaires were expected the AI/climate apocalypse to go for them and we had to point out that while your wealth, data, and all might be screwed up and lost, they have records of their ownership and your debt that will survive a nuclear war.

          heh these mines are MASSIVE. Someone found the unedited version of Event Horizon in one. Only a little bit of the footage was recoverable, it’s a shame. The movie would have been even better with those scenes; it’s one of my favorite movies.

                  I don’t know, I like it. I’m a fan of Laurence Fishburne and I like horror movies and sci-fi stuff and wh40k. Also the scene where he’s like, yeah we’re getting the fuck out of here made it the most realistic horror movie. I mean if you want something intense, watch Baskin; it’s a Turkish horror movie.

          Even modern sandbox environments have access to curl and python and who’s going to read EVERY permission prompt anyway? Just set it to auto which lets another AI model check for safety or even better, YOLO mode where everything is allowed.

            I don’t understand people who just let the AI loose on their system and don’t have any safeguards in place. At the very minimum it shouldn’t have admin access and should be limited to just the project folders. Also back up the project folders to another location the AI doesn’t have access to.

            Really basic digital hygiene is all that’s needed, and yet there are constantly stories about idiots having their entire hard drives wiped.

          Only the dim glow of the screen illuminated Hackerman, leaving his face in a shrouded mystery under his hood.

          From the corner of Hackerman’s room, a figure crept out of the void. A nightmare silhouette crowned with a trillby hat. Hatman stood behind Hackerman, his cold strong hands squeezed Hackman’s shoulders.

          The frenzy of typing ceased. Hackman spun around in his Respawn Pro chair. Their faceless expressions hide their desires.

          “Are you not scared stiff?” Hatman whispered.

          “Oh I’m stiff but not scared.” Hackman replied.

          Hatman’s eyes moved down to Hackerman’s lap to see a tower of lust erected in his honor. He was shocked by the size.

          “People only see me from the desk up, I have no need for pants.” Hackman said.

          In a moment of passion Hatman spun around and dropped his shadow pants to expose his shadow love hole.

          Looking over his shoulder Hatman said “No one can move because of all the benadryl and I just want someone to move me! Take me Hackman!”

          Hackman stood and placed his nibble fingers around Hatman’s slender waist. He took one hand and lowered Hatman down with such force, his hat fell off. Than he thrusted deep.

          “I’m in!” moaned Hackerman.

              No, you’re simply oblivious to the fact that it’s all built on theft. someone has to compute the inference, requiring tremendous amounts of resources, built on theft. you’re not going to keep the llm and destroy the data center, even if you steal the fucking model someone had to compute it.

            I think the difference is that AI isn’t a literal killing machine

            Tell that to the Iranian schoolchildren Claude thought were viable military targets (you can’t, they’re dead as hell), and to the people using AI drones to loiter and auto select targets in Ukraine.

            A gun is a killing machine.

            A gun is a machine designed to fire a projectile, what you aim it at is what decides if it’s a “killing” machine or just a long distance hole puncher.

            A bow is much the same, while it “is” a “killing machine,” designed for use in war and hunting, the archers shooting at targets at the range near my house aren’t murderers, they’re just target shooters. Would they use their bow to defend their house, just as I may use my gun that has only shot paper to do the same? Yes, they might, but only one of us is apparently deserving of ire from the uninformed, despite being the exact same situation.

          Technically, math helps us figure out the diameter and barrel length as well as the amount of accelerant to create adequate pressure to fire a bullet to accurately kill things, so in the end it’s all math’s fault.

    “It’s not script kiddie stuff.”

    No, it’s slop kiddie stuff.

        The distinction is in the understanding of what you are doing. “Script kiddie” is considered derogatory because running scripts written by someone else does not require understanding of how those scripts achieve what they do. It is a distinction between hacking a system and turning on a machine and standing nearby while it hacks the system.

        Given that definition and distinction, using an AI model to do this is merely changing where the scripts came from. It may work, but the person doing it is still a “script kiddie” by the common definition.

          I suspect that what was meant was that the attacks themselves were far more sophisticated than what a skiddie could do (after all, if you just run scripts, you probably don’t really learn anything from the information you get back), not so much that the person ordering the attacks was anything more than a script kiddie. Of course, they didn’t really make it clear what exactly they meant by it.

    I said a few weeks back it was just a matter of time before someone did this. I hope they fuck with big companies, the rich, and governments that deserve it.
