Their own demonstrator had to work with a downlevel firefox so it would still have vulnerabilities that were already fixed before they even started.

Or as they put it, they turned Firefox 147 in an evaluation.

They pitched it as “it is dangerous, it will escape confinement”, etc etc.

I admit that I didn’t study their marketing materials, but that sounds kinda off. Maybe something got garbled?

I know what you mean, but this looks more like capitalist propaganda. The “creative sector” is ruthlessly competitive and hardcore capitalist. Smearing your competition is a normal tactic for getting ahead.

Note the marketing psychology 101. Build a personal relationship between customers and your brand. Make them feel like they are part of a community. That gets you customer loyalty without having to do something expensive, like offering good value.

Also note how there is never any mention of non-creatives threatened by AI, like translators or programmers. Technologies that only threaten blue collar jobs are not even controversial.

Think about what the actionable takeaway is. Protect the jobs of creatives and expand intellectual property to allow more rent extraction by rights owners. And those marginalized groups? Stay marginalized. But perhaps there should be some changes. The data labelers should lose their jobs (they will be so happy!) The jobs should go to people in our community (which is good in a completely not racist way!). We should keep doing what we’re doing (it’s ok that this churns out racist data, as long as no one trains AI),

followups by other teams that were able to find most of the same vulnerabilities with other existing models

The one I saw was marketing hype by a company claiming to be able to do the same thing but cheaper. But when you read the fine print, you could tell that it was all just fudged.

It’s comical how people who need to believe that it’s all just marketing hype bought that marketing hype hook, line, and sinker. The implication that this would mean that LLMs are far, far more capable than anyone gives them credit for, completely slipped past them. Stochastic parrots with no understanding.

Didn’t some of those promise not to merge AI slop? I guess I misunderstood.

Yeah, let’s all use a fork that doesn’t patch those AI slop vulnerabilities.

Yeah, ok. But the military is explicitly supposed to keep functioning when the backend gets nuked literally. Who wants to pay for that kind of redundancy just so that some people can watch Netflix while they’re dying of radiation poisoning?

Oh! Good one!

That it’s open to interpretation is part of the fun. I don’t know what the person who made it intended. I didn’t even recognize from what show it was.

There is some really destructive regulation being rolled out. I’m especially worried about the data act, but it may not be the most immediately damaging thing.

PPV is what boys do in the bathroom.

It’s double entendre, deriving from certain associations with Thailand. If one is in the know, one can read the meme as implying a rather implausible story. There is a humorous twist, but it would be rather dull if spelled out. This way, one derives satisfaction from decoding the meme, and knowing oneself to belong to the in-group.

100% reliable AI detector. What’s not to love?

Sheesh. Can’t a woman be bored by some old story without everyone jumping to far-fetched conclusions!

It wouldn’t be funny if it was obvious. Thanks for your sacrifice.

BTW, here’s how this “bulletproof” DRM works:

1. There’s a special chip in your computer that decodes the stream. We all pay extra for electronics, the sole purpose of which is to make your property serve someone else.

2. The decoded signal is then sent to the display. To prevent it being recorded, the cable signals that the stream must not be recorded. This is where it gets funny. Messing with CPUs and GPUs is not something that can be done. Cables is a different story. IDK if they cracked down on this yet. Some years ago, when you ordered the cheapest cable from Asia, it simply did not transfer the DRM signal. It’s an unnecessary expense. Of course, even using such a cable may be a criminal offense.

I find funny and silly that people managed to develop bulletproof DRM so you can’t steal a 4k Netflix show in any way

Hmm. Did they?

Anyway, dystopian surveillance is not that hard technologically. It’s just politically and legally difficult and quite expensive.

I’d like a more credible source that this is zero knowledge.

This is absolutely insane. Creating a surveillance dystopia “for the children”. What about that even sounds like a good idea?

And how does that work legally?

I think if any other (smaller) site were continually posting CSAM without moderation, it would be banned.

On what legal grounds would that happen?
