So, this is going to continue to escalate, until whoever gave the text generator the software tools needed to do this and gave it the access without any kind of firewall, gets charged with the appropriate felonies and is put in jail.
To be clear, this is illegal activity, and the LLM can only do this if a human provides the means. That human == criminal scum.
Don’t forget whoever instructed it to preform the action.
An LLM can’t just unprompted get the idea to do this.
accountability is needed here; heads need to roll
It’s not an agent, it’s whoever used whatever piece of software in whatever which way to connect to those systems, that’s who is responsible and both them and the people who set up an insecure Medicare network should be in jail. For a long time.
They use AI to hack into governments, they say it was AI agent or something I didn’t know.
They bomb a school in Iran, they say it was AI.
Sure, let’s throw it to AI! Not USA who does war crimes.Can I sue AI because of its “errors”?
No of course not its a tool you can’t sue a tool.
Oh so I can sue the user of the tool. The one using it is responsible?
Naaahhh it was AI it all did it by itself we can’t do anything about it.
The breach happened in June but Open AI only became aware of it in August. It notified the government via an email, external to a general inbox on 10 September
This is just atrocious on every level. First of all, they’re hacking everyone with impunity. Then, they’re taking 2 months to find out about it, and a further month to report it. So not only can they not control their AI, as a company they clearly have no systems in place to report it either.
Now watch, in the US, an agent will infiltrate the election process somehow in November which will lead the government (Trump Mafia) to declare the election invalid despite the fact that the democrats won. I’m just waiting for the headlines.
So who is going to jail now? I am sure a company is responsible for its actions, right?
I think there is enough here for a judge to order a search warrant. It doesn’t mean yet a crime has been committed, but there is enough to start some kind of compelled discovery process to find out what the fuck is going on.
Since it’s an important enough corporation that got caught, in a sane society it should not make a difference, but we low key have a two-tiered justice system from the looks of it.
This is a big problem with AI, laws have not remotely caught up to these scenarios. Then you have Argentina creating legal structures for AI corporations that could essentially do this type of stuff, but evade prosecution because the corporation will give the owner limited liability and with no employees, the only punishment can be to shut down the corporation. Then they can spin up a new AI corporation and do it all over again in theory. Technology is advancing far beyond our ability to control it properly and tech bros don’t care much about consequences since they have historically been so minimal. Move fast, break shit is a psychopathic ethos.
Its easy. There are laws against hacking. If you used a script its still you who go in jail. If you used an Ai its still you who go to jail.
Do not let them try to spin this into the autonomy narrative.
Someone set up the agent, somebody gave it the prompt that caused this to happen. Some one did not do their job properly.
Ai agents are not independent actors, they are tools.
If I missmanage a forklift, I am held responsible. Breaks failed? I failed to do the right maintenance. Load fell down? I did not secure it right.
This is not some impossible gordian knot to solve…
I’m not saying I agree with the narrative. I’m saying it will be attempted and will be a problem before the legal system can catch up and address it. We will also be talking international law, which is trickier, as countries jockey to make friendly laws to get AI cash like Argentina. Especially with the tech industry constantly suing and lobbying.
