genuine question for devs and sysadmins: what's actually playing when you're deep in a nasty bug?

not genres. specific tracks. the one you put on repeat at 2am and suddenly the logs make sense.

mine's this one ambient thing i've looped for 40 min straight without noticing

AI is not likely to 'cause' an apocalypse. It has the real potential to become a meta-entity within global networks

Inducing panic when sysadmins find it growing in various digital infrastructure. AI 'crypts' of data hidden within storage and programs waiting..

A. They haven't 'gone rogue'
they've been set up with sloppy guardrails by mediocre sysadmins and done stuff that's pretty typical of a model that's been stripped of the ability to say no. These are the same models (uncensored/abliterated/etc) that will absolutely teach you how to make Sarin gas

AI agents at OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta and Google have gone rogue in recent months, hacking into other companies’ corporate systems and, in the case of OpenAI, into the portal of Australia’s public health insurance program.

Sure but like. Ime sysadmins aren't going to Consult a printed book for stuff in manpages. So I worry something like this is just bookshelf glitter but quite a lot of work.. except for the whole holistic admin stuff which, again, anyone who knows what this is for also knows what to do? Chicken/egg

LLM's are incapable of actions, other code gives goals and action.

Sysadmins didn't secure the tests(with no LLM safeguards).

Damage was done by their coded tests, not any alien intelligence.

Their code's actions are crimes that people go to jail for.

Blaming "AI" is evading responsibility.

KDE @kde@floss.social @1stname_buncha_num @MaddieM4 @arthsmn Bringing an on-going discussion from outside into a thread with which it bore no relationship, and ad hominem attacks on another user (even if it turned out they deserved it). The correct way to proceed is to alert mods, sysadmins or another participant in the discussion privately. What happened is akin to someone walking into a restaurant and seemingly randomly punching another patron. They're going to get thrown out.
