"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The US outlawed selling this product after that happend. That cuts your claim of marketing for CoI down.
And comparing a public website with a secured intranet is absured. As is comparing security systems of the 90s (when we used DES) to modern security systems.
Again, it sounds like you didn't read the article. They were hired for this security audit. It wasn't rogue. There won't be a prosecution of their contractor lol.
They were just shocked at how effective it was. Most penetration tests don't have that many critical vulnerability findings.
No, they outlawed it way before, but they didn't outlaw that of OpenAI that also claimed to hack HuggingFace.
It's also very convenient to outlaw a product that does not exist as advertised.
And "they were shocked" is not a metric. Compare it to the existing state of the art in a test controlled by a party with no conflict of interest and I'll believe it happened.
You obviously didn't read the article. Those are entirely different things.
Your obvious ignorance is showing.
