"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.

If it keeps happening then they are REALLY bad at sandboxing. I don't believe them at all, but if I did then holy fuck these pricks suck at their jobs.
How do you sandbox a tool with Internet access?
Take away the internet access. Firewall. Vpc. Take your pick.
How the hell is that useful? These tools have Internet access for retrieval-augmented generation and to be able to interface with external APIs. It's what makes them useful compared to a dumb chatbot.
There are models for general use and there are models for pen testing, they are not entirely the same model, so you shouldn't lump all used cases into a single idea. Turns out the world has nuance.
.... Do you know what a sandbox is?
