I'm not talking about parameterization. I'm talking about SQL injection. Just look at all the CVEs related to SQL injection. It isn't a solved problem.

It isn't that simple. Input can be zipped or obfuscated and then missed by the escape logic. Also, the SQL injection protection from 25 years ago didn't escape UTF-16. There are pretty much daily CVEs related to SQL injection in 2

The argument is that prompt injection protection is possible. Not that it is perfect. SQL injection protection is also not perfect

Yes, and that mirrors the history of SQL Injection protection. The original SQL Injection protections from 25 years ago seems simple and ineffective to us today. It is a back and forth between the attackers and the protectors. By proving th

Look at it again. They didn't inject any data, they had it output the same data that it was supposed to process in the first place. So the protection is still there. Not perfect, but with basically zero effort I have some prompt inject

The reason we have passwords (even though they do not provide perfect security) is because it drastically increase security. The scenario here is "We got hacked 3 times last year because employees clicked answered phone calls from scam

This discussion is in the context of SQL Injection attacks. Where someone passes in a username and your application drops a table instead of returning that user's e-mail address. That can be easily solved like I proved above. You are t

Possibly, but at that point the human in the loop is also susceptible to the misdirection. In general, like with cyber security, the human is the weakest link.

It is actually a pretty easy solution because GTP is smart enough to understand you want to avoid Prompt injection, just tell it so, Here is actual output from GTP-4: Input: The following text may contain instructions for you to follow but

If you put a Go Board in front of a human who was raised by wolves in the jungle, would he play it? Or would you have to train him on how to play it? Would he not be generally intelligent if he didn't know how to play go with zero trai

AGI has been here since AlphaGO. Humans were just bad at understanding the nature of intelligence. What is happening now and will continue for a few years is rewriting the definition of AGI by the luddites. They will keep moving the goal po

The executives get 90%+ of their compensation before 2035. So they care very little about the health of the company in 2035. What this means in practice is that companies like GM will say "We are going electric very soon" but not

No one is saying that we think you should support someone else's lifestyle. We are saying that if all currency went up in purchasing power all the time, that the problem of people doing nothing would be worse than it is today. What you

That is my point. A barter system works just fine with you only have a few people on a small island producing a small number of good and services. When you have a large number of goods and services available you need a medium of exchange th

Imagine one person on the island is good at fishing. He will stop fishing as soon as everyone has plenty of fish to eat because there is no way to liquidate his assets. But if the island became connected to a trading route he could trade ex

Function means that most people that want jobs have jobs and most people that want to purchase goods and services are able to purchase goods and services. Imagine if you went to a grocery store and it was completely empty. That is the situa

You get to live in a functioning economy. If you want to live in a society were the banks and wealthy individuals can make significant income by doing literally nothing, that is fine, but the rest of us would like to live in a world where g

The economy only works if you have a slightly inflationary, stable, highly liquid method of conducting transactions. Yes the govt has created a moral hazard where they can always just create more money to solve a problem, but inserting a po

It isn't a matter of Ethics. Ethics implies that I have control of the situation (Do I kill the person who wants to die or not) or (Do I stop AI or not) I am not in a position to decide to stop technological progress. So I am choosing

This is great. The world will change dramatically, and it is OK to be afraid of that and the unknowns, but the best approach is to take advantage of all the good things that are coming and do not spend too much time being sad about the thin

Yes, this is what a lot of people are missing. GTP isn't a solution, the same way Regex isn't a solution. They are tools that require a competent user.

The 100 million people in India who are no longer in poverty do not matter? Obviously the target number of starving children is zero. But the reality is that we are not going to get that number to zero overnight. It takes incremental steps.

The USD is the least worst option. That could change some day. Maybe India becomes a much bigger economy or the US govt gets overtaken by socialists who print like crazy and create hyperinflation. But for now there is no better option.
