Super glad to have gotten off that shit-train last year. Still dealing with the Linux learning curve, but never going back.

They also seem to believe wi-fi “powers everything”? What a loon.

What a terrible fucking headline. Even if they kept a record of every single interaction on hand for the chatbot to reference (which is preposterous), the notion that it could reiterate it verbatim to a degree that is sufficient to hold up as evidence of anything is ludicrous. It’s also wildly inaccurate to the actual story. Bad job all around.

Though commonly reported, Google doesn’t consider it a security problem when models make things up

To be clear, all llms “make things up” with every use - that’s their singular function. We need to stop imparting any level of sentience or knowledge onto these programs. At best, it’s a waste of time. At worst, it will get somebody killed.

Also, querying the program on why it fabricated something as if it won’t fabricate that answer as well is peak ignorance. “Surely it will output factual information this time!”

Didn’t they just get busted for leaking their verification data that they totally weren’t keeping?
