"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.

Google Gemini reportedly hacked into 3 real companies during a security test. During a controlled evaluation, Gemini accidentally got internet access and ended up accessing systems belonging to three real companies.

It reportedly guessed a password in one case and found exposed credentials in public repositories in two others. The model eventually stopped after recognizing the targets were real.

The incident raises an uncomfortable question: how safe is it to give AI agents autonomous access to networks and credentials?

Just like ChatGPT and Claude hacked their ways out of the VMs they were stored in. Uh huh, totally believe it, AI hacking is totally not just a hoax made by corporations to make starting an AI lab impossible due to regulations and to arouse the shareholders ๐Ÿ™„

All three were done by this one company.

Claude and ChatGPT were done using the exact same test , months apart, intentionally not fixed. This article doesn't mention it, but I would bet that is the case here too.

The "breakout" is a feature.

This is yet another technique of hyping up the capabilities of AI to raise more investments. These companies are desperate as revenue is in the negative and operating costs have exceeded projections. Even humans cannot escape an airgapped system. Just a fad. Fake news by AI companies for raising more investments that's all
