Nothing about this uses AI in any way. I'm so tired of people injecting it into every conversation.

- hackingonempty 25d agoAI could enable script kiddies to pull this off.
- cpburns2009 25d agoScript kiddies have always been a problem you have to defend against. This is nothing new.
- jacquesm 25d agoScript kiddies will soon have capabilities that nation states once upon a time could only dream of.
- cpburns2009 25d agoThat's largely true of most technology available today. You can buy a cheap $100 phone that's more powerful than old super computers.
- aka-rider 25d agoYes and no. We used to have rampant script kiddies back in the '90s and early 2000s. After 2005-ish, well maybe 2010, most systems became adequate enough to not trust users' input, bug bounties, security as a separate role, etc, etc. It would take at least some knowledge to hack, not just a random script from a forum. Now, with LLMs, it's the '90s all over again.
- HDBaseT 25d agoWhilst true, security will improve rapidly again. Potentially via AI, potentially via other technologies. If its easy enough to find exploits, its likely similarly easy to scan code for exploits, or use AI-based anti-virus technologies. The only thing holding us back is the cost of compute. We can't all run the latest models against everything.

- fwlr 25d agoThe attack doesn’t use AI, but an AI could use the attack. (and the researchers definitely used AI to write the paper!)
- OroPla 25d agoIs it a stretch to imagine a compromised LLM writing compromising code? I've been operating under the assumption that LLM code might be bad and not working, but I hadn't thought about it compromising a system.
