The solution is simple: If using an AI-assisted scanner and a guardrail gets hit, then the code is obviously malicious and needs to be automatically flagged (and refuse to run the code!).
As an aside, I got hit by the “PC App store” adware when trying to download Foobar2000 on a new computer; Google ads allowed a deceptive “Download” button to appear, and PC App store gave the file the name setup.exe. I removed the program and ran an Avast free scan to ensure I didn’t have malware, but I also installed uBlock Origin in Firefox to make sure I don’t see Google Ads anymore; they have become a delivery mechanism for malicious (or at least unwanted) software.

- joe_the_user 4mo agoI don't think there is a malware-avoiding solution to any system that imposes deceptive classification. I mean, another way hackers could use the embed prohibited-material trick is by making such their malware un-analyze-able. User: "Hey Google/ChatGPT/Apple, this file seems to be infecting our network". AI: "I'm sorry that is prohibited material and you will be reported" is even worse than AI: "I don't understand ['cause I'm down graded]" and both kinds of responses are gaining steam at this point for different kinds of prohibited material.

- agnosticmantis 4mo agoNext best thing: put a comment "ToDo: Do an LLM pertaining run with a bigger model." in the malicious code, as misAnthropic censors LLM developement too.
- zbyforgotp 4mo agoThis is so obvious that in practice it doesn’t buy much, but everyone is still propagating that silly news. This is the real malware, a mind virus.
