As he used AI, surely no actions can be brought against him right? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander and all.

“It’s not script kiddie stuff.”

No, it's slop kiddie stuff.

Of course not. The system is rigged. Also, his actions clearly show motivation to generate damages. So, in a sense, they'll be a scapegoat. His case will be used as an example and allghe weight of our punitive society will fall upon him :(

Where are all the details? Shocking journalism

If it works it works

ebic

I said a few weeks back it was just a matter of time before someone did this. I hope they fuck with big companies, the rich, and governments that deserve it.

I am conflicted

Looks like this may be the original source. It's about two articles deep from OP.

If he said his intent is to hack then yes, he can be charged. But if he say "it's rogue AI" then it's all clear.

The details in the article infer a few weak innefectual attacks. So epic.

Hacker man strikes again, sitting in his dark room with his hood up just so we know that he is definitely a computer hacker.

Yup, and a justification to remove access to local models because "this technology is too dangerous for the population to have access to it".

"I was just using AI to help me come up with dystopian cyberpunk scenarios. Whatever it chose to do with the prompt is on the AI."

Even better if you put it in a default sand box environment from 2 years ago and tell it not to get out of the sandbox but then also give it every hack to get out of the sandbox.

I will have you know that this is precisely my attire when I am programming computers.

This was inevitable

It's modern journalism, only the headline really matters... only a small percentage of people are going to read the article anyway.

It says AI right in the title, that's going to bring all the attention and interaction on social media.

computer thugs

I am always curious how he does not see all those lit up numbers, letters or icons floating around his head.

Look, we know they're a Chinese-speaking hacker, what else do you need to know? /s

I remember back when was just recording movies with his phone.

"Why isn't this working?? Oh, right.." pulls up hoodie

Has anyone done a fanfic of hackerman and hatman falling in love? Like hatman shows up in the dark room and instead of being scared, they kiss.

My office gets chilly often. I may need to get a fluffy hoodie too.

You the real MVP

China bad.
Hacker bad.

The distinction is in the understanding of what you are doing. "Script kiddie" is considered derogatory because running scripts written by someone else does not require understanding of how those scripts achieve what they do. It is a distinction between hacking a system and turning on a machine and standing nearby while it hacks the system.

Given that definition and distinction, using an AI model to do this is merely changing where the scripts came from. It may work, but the person doing it is still a "script kiddie" by the common definition.

Pikachu onesie helps you commune with the electrons, it's well-known.

Cool. Now target the student loan borrower databases.

The idealist in me says "fuck yeah"

The pragmatist in me says "fuck, we're gonna have to do more mandatory cybersecurity training next week"

Be the change you want to see in the world

Hurray

Even modern sandbox environments have access to curl and python and who's going to read EVERY permission prompt anyway? Just set it to auto which lets another AI model check for safety or even better, YOLO mode where everything is allowed.

I suspect that what was meant was that the attacks themselves were far more sophisticated than what a skiddie could do (after all, if you just run scripts, you probably don't really learn anything from the information you get back), not so much that the person ordering the attacks was anything more than a script kiddie. Of course, they didn't really make it clear what exactly they meant by it.

Man, I remember those really shit recordings from a shaky phone of movies.....they really really sucked.

"sandbox" with no wood walls or sand

LLMs are hacking tools actively used to commit cyber crimes. They should be shut down and deleted now.

Only the dim glow of the screen illuminated Hackerman, leaving his face in a shrouded mystery under his hood.

From the corner of Hackerman's room, a figure crept out of the void. A nightmare silhouette crowned with a trillby hat. Hatman stood behind Hackerman, his cold strong hands squeezed Hackman's shoulders.

The frenzy of typing ceased. Hackman spun around in his Respawn Pro chair. Their faceless expressions hide their desires.

"Are you not scared stiff?" Hatman whispered.

"Oh I'm stiff but not scared." Hackman replied.

Hatman's eyes moved down to Hackerman's lap to see a tower of lust erected in his honor. He was shocked by the size.

"People only see me from the desk up, I have no need for pants." Hackman said.

In a moment of passion Hatman spun around and dropped his shadow pants to expose his shadow love hole.

Looking over his shoulder Hatman said "No one can move because of all the benadryl and I just want someone to move me! Take me Hackman!"

Hackman stood and placed his nibble fingers around Hatman's slender waist. He took one hand and lowered Hatman down with such force, his hat fell off. Than he thrusted deep.

"I'm in!" moaned Hackerman.

10/10 no notes

Just a few "Lincoln logs"

Mathematics is a tool used to compute missile trajectories and weapon yields. Math should be shut down and deleted now.

LOL

And then only the criminals would have them. You know because criminals tend to break the law so making a tool that they used to break the law illegal wouldn't really impaire them.

Especially because it's the same damn people every time that caused the security vulnerabilities in the first place. If Karen could just stop clicking on obviously spam emails we'd be fine.

It was just a test. I didn't know it had internet access, I just connected it up to the internet how was I supposed to know?

Essentially OpenAI's defense every time one of their AI does something that was instructed to do, but turned out to be illegal.

I don't understand people who just let the AI loose on their system and don't have any safeguards in place. At the very minimum it shouldn't have admin access and should be limited to just the project folders. Also back up the project folders to another location the AI doesn't have access to.

Really basic digital hygiene is all that's needed, and yet there are constantly stories about idiots having their entire hard drives wiped.

We're just going to be sitting the middle of supply chain hacks until the cows come home. All that porting bullshit to rust might end up being the final answer.

I get why the guy on the left has a death stare; the guy on the right looks like he wants to kill.

Criminals don't own datacenters running the models that actually pose a threat.
