"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This just happened:

And it's hardly the first time:

An incident involving an over-scoped API token too, interesting. I'll definitely be relaying those articles to the Teams chat tomorrow morning ~~(although the chances of anyone reading them when there's no subway surfer footage playing next to the text is pretty low)~~
Yeah, "it hasn't happened to us yet" is a very bad risk assessment. Coding bots with too much access are exactly the thing that wipes out companies.
