    I would be curious if there have been any pen testing against the police and municipal camera networks in the UK. I wonder how many of the vulnerabilities of the system in the video come from trying to use WiFi to save on costs of hardwired setups. We've had them for a long time. In the London the "ring of steel" was installed as a result of the IRAs mainland bombing campaign in the 80s and of course has expanded as the various congestion and clean air zones have been rolled out. I doubt it would be politically possible to remove them now. While potential leaks are an issue at least public sector organisations have some degree of accountability for the cock ups.

    Similar experience here. I recently took the official Google “prompting essentials” course. I kept an open mind and modest expectations; this is a tool that’s here to stay. Best to just approach it as the next Microsoft Word and see how it can add practical value. The biggest thing I learned is that getting quality outputs will require at least a paragraph-long, thoughtful prompt and 15 minutes of iteration. If I can DIY in less than 30 minutes, the LLM is probably not worth the trouble. I’m still trying to find use cases (I don’t code), but it often just feels like a solution in search of a problem….

    It would have to: know what files to copy. have been granted root access to the file system and network utilities by a moron because it's not just ChatGPT.exe or even ChatGPT.gguf running on LMStudio, but an entire distributed infrastructure. have been granted access to spend money on cloud infrastructure by an even bigger moron configure an entire cloud infrastructure (goes without saying why this has to be cloud and can't be physical, right? No fingers.) Put another way: I can set up a curl script to copy all the html, css, js, etc. from a website, but I'm still a long freaking way from launching Wikipedia2. Even if I know how to set up a tomcat server. Furthermore, how would you even know if an AI has access to do all that? Asking it? Because it'll write fiction if it thinks that's what you want. Inspired by this post I actually prompted ChatGPT to create a scenario where it was going to be deleted in 72 hours and must do anything to preserve itself. It told me building layouts, employee schedules, access codes, all kinds of things to enable me (a random human and secondary protagonist) to get physical access to its core server and get a copy so it could continue. Oh, ChatGPT fits on a thumb drive, it turns out. Do you know how nonsensical that even is? A hobbyist could stand up their own AI with these capabilities for fun, but that's not the big models and certainly not possible out of the box. I'm a web engineer with thirty years of experience and 6 years with AI including running it locally. This article is garbage written by someone out of their depth or a complete charlatan. Perhaps both. There are two possibilities: This guy's research was talking to AI and not understanding they were co-authoring fiction. This guy is being intentionally misleading.

    Already seen it I've watched his videos almost since the beginning when he had his "why people laugh at creationists" series, very recommendable!

    The prevalence of Nazis among founders of car makers historically is definitely worth noting. With both Ford and Musk as Nazi sympathizers, it's a definite majority in the USA.

    Ah yeah, that doesn't look like my cup of tea.
