Yes, I worked for a medtech where part of our assurance process was that the machine that was used to burn the device's drives was always unplugged from the internet, and that the devices themselves could not connect to the internet, and that even someone with a screwdriver and a serial cable would have a really hard time trying to connect to a deployed device.
- ben_w 1mo agoGreat. And the machine you used to write this comment? "your phone, laptop, etc"? Because otherwise you're not taking the threat these new models pose seriously. Catch 22, basically: anyone who thinks OpenAI should have known this outcome would happen in advance, shouldn't be in a position to spread this message, because if they have an internet connected device with which to reply, then they don't think there's any open weight models currently in training and perhaps a month from being made downloadable, which are just as capable of messing up every device they own. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49413320 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49413320
