OpenAI warns new models pose 'high' cybersecurity risk

Is that a warm feeling I just got, or did I pee my pants?

Dec 10 (Reuters) - OpenAI on Wednesday warned that its upcoming artificial intelligence models could pose a "high" cybersecurity risk, as their capabilities advance rapidly.

The AI models might either develop working zero-day remote exploits against well-defended systems or assist with complex enterprise or industrial intrusion operations aimed at real-world effects, the ChatGPT maker said in a blog post.

As capabilities advance, OpenAI said it is "investing in strengthening models for defensive cybersecurity tasks and creating tools that enable defenders to more easily perform workflows such as auditing code and patching vulnerabilities".

To counter cybersecurity risks, OpenAI said it is relying on a mix of access controls, infrastructure hardening, egress controls and monitoring.


Move fast and break everything!

I forgot where I read it, but men generally like things that are big, go fast and which explode.
Probably in the National Lampoon.

(Women are getting in on the craziness ... see below)

Some examples here:

These idiot likes are mostly unsafe.

OKAY, MORE EXAMPLES of how men should not be inventing things.
Men (myself included) DO INSANELY STUPID THINGS.

And brag about them.



And chuckle about them (sometimes from the E.R.)

AND GET REWARDED AND ACCLAIMED FOR IT!!!

Some people never learn.

Put out an AI tool that has both the capability to write code for hackers that can breach secure systems, AND the ability to write code that enhances security at the places that need said security to defend themselves from that very same product.

Like I say, it's fucking evil. But objectively it's somewhat genius as a means by which make a bunch of money.

Lying AI models. Hallucinating AI models. Soon to come: schizophrenic AI models.

GIGO.

Back when we had milkmen, you could tell if a kid looked a bit more like "Mister Creamy" than his Dad.

"Where did you come up with that sycophantic slop?"

Typically, exploits that are discovered get fixed, and code reviews do flag potential problems for patching. More people are going to have more access by which to participate in finding, applying, and fixing exploits.
