I mean, you posted this using a browser, right?
- vkou 4mo agoNeither my browser nor my brain will just run whatever commands it receives over a socket as root.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4mo agoBrowsers (and humans, actually) are subject to bugs that make them execute arbitrary commands from an attacker, and LLMs can be told to ignore undesired commands.
- vkou 4mo agoSo go tell your LLM to ignore undesired commands, and this ends up a nothingburger that nobody should be upset over.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4mo agoIf you intentionally send me a virus-laden email attachment, I'm going to be justifiably unhappy even if my antivirus catches it.
- vkou 4mo agoUnlike sending you an email, nobody's pushing you anything, though. You are actively pulling a program that explicitly says that you should not use it with an AI system. It's like pulling a bunch of GPL code into your product and then complaining that it 'infected' the rest of your code. You actively chose to do that, nobody forced it upon you.
