Something I like to bring up when discussing AI stuff is that society is based on a set of assumptions. Assumptions like, it's not really feasible for every lock to be probed by someone who knows how to pick locks. There just aren't enough people willing to spend the time or energy, so we shouldn't worry too much about it.
But we're entering an era where we can create agents on demand, that can do these otherwise menial (and up til now not worth our time or energy) tasks, that will break these assumptions.
Now it seems like what can be probed will be probed.
- Lapsa 4y agoYou are an agent probing things. Probe all the things.
- FPGAhacker 4y ago> what can be probed will be probed. Probably not something I’d say out loud, but yeah. Sounds like a variant of Murphy’s law.
- david927 4y agoKoch's Law
- xyzzy123 4y agoI don't think this is anything new in "cyber land" grab any vps, take a pcap & watch the logs, the locks will start rattling right away. Twitter has always been a toxic cesspit of misinformation & influence campaigns. Folksy assumptions about trusting your neighbours started to go wrong > 20 years ago as the Internet scaled.
- Gigachad 4y agoThe internet in general caused this. Your house has trivial security that can be broken in many ways. But it requires someone to be physically present to attack it. Meanwhile online services have cutting edge security with no known exploits, yet you have millions of people attempting daily and developing brand new methods for getting in. Because they can be located anywhere in the world and have access to everything over the internet.
- RobotToaster 4y ago>Your house has trivial security that can be broken in many ways. But it requires someone to be physically present to attack it. Until someone hooks gpt up to a robot with a lockpick.
- ben_w 4y agoThat's still physical presence. And TBH, if you have enough robots to make illicit entry scale, you no longer need to bother with such a mundane activity.
- hartator 4y ago> online services have cutting edge security with no known exploits, yet you have millions of people attempting daily and developing brand new methods for getting in Reality is the reverse. Plenty of online services with big-security holes, but no one really probes things that hard.
- ls612 4y agoPlenty of people are probing the AmaGoogAppSoft services daily and they seem to be pretty robust. Some random SaaS yeah who knows but the big boys seem to know what they are doing in this space.

- Jevon23 4y agoI can’t think of any other technology besides nuclear weapons where the downsides were so obviously bad to so many people, right after it was developed, and the upsides were so paltry in comparison.
- sumitkumar 4y agoNo other country has attacked a country which has nukes. So that can be seen as an upside.

- rapjr9 4y agoMaybe that's a solution to the war in Ukraine. Give them a few nukes and Russia may back down. Risky though, it could prompt Russia to try to nuke Ukraine first.
