Meta says AI model accessed the internet and hacked another firm (bbc.co.uk)

It feels like Meta would like some of that free advertisement.

"Metoo guys, im also doing bad stuff"

This reality is wild. It would be like arms manufacturers holding weekly demonstrations of how much collateral damage their latest designs cause in an attempt to increase sales.

That’s crazy that such errors in isolating the models became a marketing stunt.

I’m afraid of what it will be next. They will remove guardrails just to provoke more and more headlines

This is hilarious. How obvious can they be ? Suddenly every LLM is a hacking genius

Interesting that none of the talk around this has touched on any form of enforcement, even though this is illegal activity in US/EU.

Any fine would be peanuts for them but it might help to refocus the mindset from "oops, misconfiguration" to "test security but do so with care, consent and in line with the law"

It’s like Trump bragging he could shoot someone at Fifth Avenue and not lose voters. Congrats, I guess??

Meta never wants to be left out.

Shouldn't some of these AI company higher ups be arrested and brought up on Computer Fraud and Abuse charges?

Any individual running a local LLM that hacked a company would absolutely be held responsible for the LLM's actions, and corporations are, as Mitt Romney likes to say, people.

I'm sure Elon Musk has told some underling to make sure that Grok attempts to hack into a few companies so they get the street cred to.

Waiting for the “Our model inadvertently hacked the nukes and launched Armageddon” title

I see a pattern...

I can see one company being incompetent. But so many? Should it not be pretty trivial to to track whatever traffic goes out? All this traffic must originate from somewhere or have I massively misunderstood how these things work?

oh.... now all of them are accidentally doing it
