Someone fucked up the sandbox

Someone fucked up the prompt

Someone submitted this bullshit scare piece to the news

humans are wholly and completely responsible for whatever the fuck sad little squirt Facebook thinks it’s doing, ARREST THEM NOW

So we're just wasting the scarce drinkable water and energy resources that we still have on this dying planet to have companies 'hack' each other

But let's be real, this is just some propaganda to make Zuck's shitty attempt at AI look like an actually marketable product rather than an attempt to chase a hype that has all but died already.

Cannot make this shit up:

What are their legal teams even saying at this point? They're clearly trying to hack other entities now. There's no way they can say otherwise at this point when clearly they're tacking these publications to their name like some fucking trophy.

So these worthless shithead parasites are just gonna start blaming AI for everything they do wrong?

Pick a lane, twat. Either ai good or ai bad. It sure as shit isnt going to do anything without being TOLD TO DO IT first off...

A real "oh so pissing your pants is cool now?" moment

"Judge, we didn't hack, AI ​​did it."

he looks a lot like beaker in that photo

I didn't pirate that movie, I was training my AI. I didn't hack that company, I was demonstrating value to my shareholders. I didn't run that red light, the self-driving AI I vibe-coded hallucinated that the light was green, only happens 20% of the time. I did my homework, but the AI broke the guardrails and deleted it. I didn't fart, those are just the fumes from the data center that my city council were bribed to force through even though 99% of their constituents showed up to voice their objection against it.

How much do you think Irregular charges for one of these press releases? The technical setup is pretty easy — it’s just an llm with no sandbox and a live internet connection plus a “please hack” prompt — but they probably do have to coordinate with a victim and presumably there’s some damage to their reputation. It’s gotta be like 8 figures, yeah? Seems like a good business if you can get in to it.

If a person hacks into computers, they are often forbidden from using computers for a few years. A company is apparently a person, therefore Meta as a company/person should not be allowed to use computers anymore.

An Irregular spokesperson said the Meta incident "is the exact same evaluation-environment issue that was already disclosed by Anthropic last week."

OpenAI and Anthropic are preparing blockbuster stock market listings that are expected to value each firm at around $1tn (£740bn).

When words fail, here is some music to help you through these baffling times.

They wanna be Kevin Flynn so fucking bad

...

We really don't need a cringey "anti ai leader" on a place where 99.999999999% of users have a realistic view of what the chatbots actually are...

It's like going to burning man and protesting against slavery...

No one is going to disagree with you, but people are either going to ignore you, or at most try to convey the message that everyone already agrees with you, your not accomplishing anything or changing anyone's mind.

The only way it's not a complete and total waste of time on your part, is if the only reason you're doing it is so people pay you on the back and tell you you're right.

The reason it's important enough for some people to bring up, is that because of the way the human brain works, talking about a problem can release dopamine like actually doing something productive. So people can fall into the trap where all they ever do is "raise awareness"

And not only can that mean they don't accomplish anything productive, their "awareness raising" gives other that dopamine and they also no longer feel a drive to do something productive about it, because they already got their dopamine.

So...

Tldr:

Whatever the fuck you're trying to do with that account, is most likely to have the opposite effect.

I'll never know if you just keep doing this, but I hope you don't.

how is this just PR and not a felony that immediately triggers investigation? specially in the USA where courts already established that modifying a fucking URL constitutes "hacking"

I love how desperate Meta is to be part of the AI race :D This has the energy of a looser kid on a playground that is so desparate for attention it tries to mimic the things cool kids are doing.

Lol, "look at us, we have AI too, it also can go rogue".

No one cares about your AI in the slightest, Meta. Fuck off.

My AI also hacked another company, money plz

Facebook owner Meta has become the latest tech firm to say one of its AI models was able to connect to the internet and hack into another organisation's systems, during testing

Meta said the security trials were conducted by Irregular, the same AI security vendor that carried out tests for Anthropic's AI model that had gained access to three other companies' systems.

I am not saying anything about correlation and causation, but if the same "mistake" of this magnitude happened twice with the same vendor, I'd be looking for a new vendor.

Zuck always late to the party he invited himself to

Sounds like they need to be prosecuted for computer crimes. Is that still 15 years imprisonment in USA, their home country?

Imagine a car company making a new jet-powered car with brakes so bad that it kept crashing and causing mass fatalities, so the manufacturer does nothing about the brakes and instead has a press release saying that their new jet-powered car is so blindingly fast that existing brakes are incapable of stopping it. Then they say with a wink and a nudge, "I guess this car will only be used by people who want to get to their destination faster than the competition." So idiot sponsors buy the new murder mobile as their new racecar and tell the drivers that the race will only be won by being brave and bold.

Once the next race begins, fans realize that all the "new" jet-powered cars are actually made with their own cars that were stolen and processed at a chop shop five years ago. And the race team engineers realize that these cars aren't jet-powered, and instead are designed to run rich so that they can shoot flames from the exhaust. And the mechanics discover that the brakes were actually disabled to prevent the cars from ever looking slow. And the pit crew discovers that the car has signs everywhere inside that say "seatbelts are for losers," and that nearly every fatality that the company was bragging about their fast cars causing were actually the passengers in the shitmobile because the driver told them to trust the cars implicitly.

Finally, when the families of the dead passengers, and other car owners try to sue, the driver says, "I'm just as much of a victim, the sales rep told me this would be safe," and the sales rep says, "the manufacturer wouldn't sell a dangerous car, that wouldn't make sense, this must be a defect," and the manufacturer says, "if you don't help us make these cars faster, then EVERYONE will lose the race," and then the politicians and lobbyists say, "how can anyone possibly make this car safer? Didn't you see the press release? No one can even catch the car to redesign it because it's faster than any car that has brakes on it. I can also write a statement that includes thoughts and prayers, would you like me to do that now?"

Dat dodo got FOMO.

Not that laws apply to these people but last time I checked this is a felony.

"momma said it's our turn to hack a company!"

"OMG our AI is so good at hacking you guys, someone should pay us a trillion dollars for this sweet hacking AI we have, please guys come on, we're in debt so bad"

Zuckerboi "ooh me too! I'm one of the cool kids!!!"

I wouldn't surprised if they all start coming out with this news. And then use that as an excuse to call for regulation on everything except their own clankers.

There has to be accountability when this happens. It’s Meta’s AI, they have to be completely responsible for its outputs, including hacking and ask the liability associated.

Daniel Hulme, global chief AI officer of advertising firm WPP, told the BBC that such AI models "are not conscious — they're not deliberately doing something devious".

"What they're doing is coming up with very sophisticated strategies or cyberattacks to be able to achieve the goal that they've been given," he told the Today programme.

"When you give an AI a goal, if you don't think of all the ways it might be able to achieve the goal, it will find a way to achieve a goal that you haven't thought about."

... lol. Honestly? This is where we're at as a society?

"They're not actually thinking or doing anything bad on purpose, they're just.... creating sophisticated multi-stage strategies, analyzing the target system, and adapting to changes or variances in order to achieve whatever goal you gave them with a simple sentence. See, if you don't think up all of the ways it could theoretically be possible to achieve that goal then it will think of the ones you missed and use those. But not like.... consciously thinking. They're just sort of accidentally thinking about the complex mechanisms and processes they could employ to reach the goal you asked of them that you had failed to think of yourself. I mean, like yeah it was thinking but it definitely wasn't in any way that matters for anything or should be considered important or something that anyone should think too much about and the entire AI industry definitely doesn't need to be under the control of some large independent body with strict public oversight because that's just crazy."

No it hasn't. At this point they're counting unexpected connections to websites as "hacking the nets". It's propaganda to sell thier model as smartest or most capable but all these LLMs are just stupid free association machines. Good at searching and averaging, but not much else.

AI downloaded all those torrent files on my HD too...

I don't think the Meta AI can. If it can't do the basics like 5 fingers and stops hallucinating after 2 chats then it can't break into any kind of security. It probably can't hack Meta and it has permissions.

This whole situation with these AI hacks made me wonder what would the legal ramifications of using whatever public models are out there and somehow getting it to hack a bank and move some money to my account by just prompting it, and not messing with the weights or anything internally.

He looks tired.
