"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 (thecybersecguru.com)

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?

AI doesn't "accidentally" do anything. Models have to be trained 1) by providing examples on how something should be done, an 2) by rewarding correct behavior to reinforce algorithm weights.

Someone (Google) had to provide the instruction and repeatedly reward the behavior to get to the point where the AI could even connect to the target websites, let alone "hack" into them.
