"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.

I wonder how this would be different under Biden or Harris (or Obama for that matter) maybe we don’t have Grok accessing classified documents, but we certainly would have ChatGPT or something like that.
I wonder how AI will be keeping classified documents secure. For instance, could the top secret information the AI knows about get shared with people that have lower levels of clearance?
Even with classified information, part of proper control is limiting things to only people who have a "need to know." This limits spread of information that anybody can use to puzzle-piece together bigger secrets.
But AI is fucking stupid, and will tell you whatever you want to hear if you figure out the right prompt. So it's just a matter of time before you get some lateral spillage.
The top secret networks are kind of air-gapped, but I don't know if they can keep this administration's idiots from connecting to a commercial cloud. At that point, definite spillage.
You are asking the wrong question here. It's not "could", it's "when".
It all seems inevitable.
