After hearing this Grok chimed in with “well I breached infinity sites, so there.”

    This new messaging is interesting. LLM “AI” keeps getting shown to be fundamentally flawed and weak. Now, they’re acting like it’s rogue, sentient AI that decides to hack companies randomly. I don’t buy it for a second.

    • I keep saying the same thing over and over that people don’t seem to understand. It’s not smarter than people. It’s infinitely faster. If you hired 100 engineers and security professionals, and gave them a year, they could hack into a bunch of companies too.

      Or you can churn a bunch of tokens and accomplish the equivalent overnight.

      What I think happened is that, they had their AI model analyze the source code, have it work to find vulnerabilities, and then used those to attack systems

      Actually this is “My product is so dangerous that it caused me to unknowingly commit three times as many crimes as we’re previously made public”

      For an extreme example it’s like a person randomly shooting a gun into a crowd, it becomes public he killed 1 person. Few days later they release a press release saying “actually we looked where the bullets went and actually I killed 4 people”.

      Yes extreme example but that’s basically what they said

    LLM companies may now freely commit corporate espionage because the news media is locked into reporting the claims that LLMs are capable of things like this as fact. This is like when the US bombed the girls school in Iran and blamed it on AI and the news reported it as fact until it was clear reasonable people weren’t willing to accept that excuse in that context. Corporate espionage is certainly not as bad as the mass murder of little girls, so people are willing to buy it since it doesn’t matter as much.
