I have no idea what the third lever is. Is there a new design where the parking brake is another pedal?

Get off my lawn

I have an old truck with 4 pedals and tab that you pull to release the parking "brake".

I have a wheelchair van that's modified for people with poor leg function, so I have the third pedal and a toggle switch on the dash.

Bwah ha ha

My truck has all four pedals. You pull the brake lever to undo the stompy brake.

My automatic has a stomp-on stomp-off pedal. My other automatic has a *gag* electronic parking brake switch...

This just predictive text trying every single kown exploit until it's in. Simple as that

It was most obvious with the Google one. You can tell they had questions like "so, has yours hacked anything yet?" So they had to set up a house of cards for it to topple, just so they could say "us too, it did the thing." But their heart clearly wasn't in it.

DemocracyNow has really dropped the ball on this. I expect to hear this stupid shit from mainstream media, but they're doing the same shit and just uncritically reporting this garbage.

Failed, or promoted the narrative?

Hard to tell, but I'd guess the news outlets, mostly owned by billionaires, said what they were told to.

'pull' comes from the olden times when you, in fact, did pull a handle to release the parking brake.

Whoops!

The Communist AI are coming!

They get all dolled up before they go on their spree. They want to look presentable.

How I imagine the AI "hacking" its way out:

what's a software?

But, "robot that hacks software" still gives the impression of a robot that is capable of thought. LLMs are not capable of thought. They're capable of mimicking thought, like how a Venus Fly Trap is capable of mimicking a flower.

There is no “containment” though. Like, these companies purposefully set the bots loose on the internet. They’re not trying to contain anything. They just use that word cause it sounds like they’re doing something. Any sort of containment would defeat the entire purpose of what they’re trying to sell.

I think the AI companies know they have bought the US government and are above the law, all this hacking stuff is promotional content.

Silicon Valley delenda est. I moved away from there not quite a year ago and I'm still realizing how fucking insane that place and the tech people working there are.

I feel it has more to do with the companies already vested in AI found this was an opportune moment to "pull the ladder up" behind them. They know that the barrier to entry is continually dropping, and their models are incredibly inefficient. If they set up all sorts of oversight, requirements, and restrictions on who can do what, they prevent upstarts with less capital from being able to enter the market.

It’s a bit more interesting than that after Nvidia bought up the company that was compromised. You only do something like that when you’re trying to avoid an investigation.

Except toddlers think. They may not think well yet, but they are still vaguely capable of understanding something. LLMs just generate likely combinations of words.

If AMD injured 5 I don't even want to know what NVIDIA did.
