Lets say you are an IT specialist in charge of a data center. Given a single chat box with an LLM on the other end, what would have to occur for you to give it access to the systems?
Because thats what it would take for AI to start taking over computer systems. Computers arent black boxes where some amount of correct input results in an exploit. Its totally possible to have a fully secure system.

I setup a process that pipes input/output from the chat agent to a terminal and give it a prompt that contains whatever it needs to login. That probably doesn't lead to anything too catastrophic happening today, but that's giving the chat box access to the data center. > Its totally possible to have a fully secure system. A lot of things are possible. It's a lot easier to have a less than fully secure system.
- ActorNightly 4y agoI mean like you are aware that an AI is on the other end, and know you shouldn't give it access.
- chatmasta 4y ago> Its totally possible to have a fully secure system. No, it isn't. As one example, the iPhone has been out nearly 20 years, with hundreds of the best security minds in the world trying to lock it down, and it still gets jailbroken.
- ActorNightly 4y agoSure, if you have physical access to a device, you can pretty much put it under a microscope, solder in your own custom chip in the right places, intercept memory and obtain root access. This has nothing to do with the conversation of an AI hacking computers remotely through only data comm channels.
