Meta says AI model accessed the internet and hacked another firm
- itopaloglu83 2mo agoIt feels like Meta would like some of that free advertisement.
- cyanydeez 2mo ago"Metoo guys, im also doing bad stuff"
- noir_lord 2mo agoIt's Meta, I'm not sure anyone paying attention could ever assume they aren't doing bad stuff.
- nDRDY 2mo agoThis 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.
- elias_t 2mo agoIt’s even worse, because they would have to say: “the bomb dropped itself because we forgot a screw in the airplane, but see how effective it is!”
- specproc 2mo agoThey do this in Gaza.
- inigyou 2mo agoYou can't say that here.
- halJordan 2mo agoEveryone loves the opening scene in iron man.
- twister2920 2mo agoapropos of nothing I highly recommend "The Palestine Laboratory" by Anthony Loewenstein
- elias_t 2mo agoThat’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
- felooboolooomba 2mo ago> I’m afraid of what it will be next. Palantir: our system accidentally started WW3.
- pier25 2mo agoShall we play a game of thermonuclear war?
- felooboolooomba 2mo agoWouldn't you prefer a good game of chess?
- expedited123 2mo agoThis is hilarious. How obvious can they be ? Suddenly every LLM is a hacking genius
- nmstoker 2mo agoInteresting 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"
- iammjm 2mo agoIt’s like Trump bragging he could shoot someone at Fifth Avenue and not lose voters. Congrats, I guess??
- FuturisticLover 2mo agoDid he actually say that?
- vcryan 2mo agoMeta never wants to be left out.
- bayarearefugee 2mo agoShouldn'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.
- jpfromlondon 2mo agoit's fiction, that's why.
- ActionHank 2mo ago"I have a girlfriend, but she goes to another school so you won't know her, but she's real!"
- cyanydeez 2mo agowhich part, CEOs being arrested for illegal activities?
- inigyou 2mo agoThe hacking is fiction. Every AI company is claiming this happened to get a stock boost.
- dormento 2mo agoSeems like nowadays the mantra is: - "Hey dev, why did you write bugged code?" - "It wasn't me, it was my LLM" - "Hey ops guy, why did you deploy and insecure env?" - "It wasn't me, it was my LLM" - "Hey dude why did you hack this firm?" - "It wasn't me, it was my LLM" ad infinitum.
- scotty79 2mo ago> Any individual running a local LLM that hacked a company would absolutely be held responsible for the LLM's actions What if he could present evidence that he didn't tell AI to do it? Is it reckless negligence to give any AI agent access to the internet or even not prevent it 100% from gaining it? Because millions are doing it daily. Pretty much everybody who's doing anything with AI agents.
- helsinkiandrew 2mo agoI'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.
- moktonar 2mo agoWaiting for the “Our model inadvertently hacked the nukes and launched Armageddon” title
- ernsheong 2mo agoI see a pattern...
- Ekaros 2mo agoI 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?
- vrighter 2mo agooh.... now all of them are accidentally doing it

- specproc 2mo agoThe eight-hour-old accounts with strings of digits as handles are also well-known for their balanced and non-partisan perspectives.
