If models are trained on data that it would be a security breach for them to reveal to their users, then the real breach occurred at training.

now you know that and i know that,

The big LLMs everyone's talking about and using are just advanced forms of theft

Sloppy LLM programming? Never!

In completely unrelated news I've been staring at this spinner icon for the past five minutes after asking an LLM to output nothing at all:

same energy as “your request could not be processed due to the following error: Success”

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

What are the chances that the front end was not programmed to handle the LLM returning an empty string?

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

Quite likely yeah. There's no way they don't have a timeout on the backend.

boooo Gemini now replies "I'm just a language model, so I can't help you with that."

"what would a reply with no text look like?" or similar?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

what would a reply with no text look like?

nah it just described what an empty reply might look like in a messaging app

they seem to have done quite well at making Gemini do mundane responses

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

that's a hilarious response (from it). perfectly understand how it got there, and even more laughable

LLM vendors are incredibly bad ~~at responding to security issues~~

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

They're surprisingly skilled at getting money from idiots.

their previous experience in crypto is shining

My NSFW reply, including my own experience, is here. However, for this crowd, what I would point out is that this was always part of the mathematics, just like confabulation, and the only surprise should be that the prompt doesn't need to saturate the context in order to approach an invariant distribution. I only have two nickels so far, for this Markov property and for confabulation from PAC learning, but it's ~~completely expected~~ weird that it's happened twice.

Lol that's like expecting gold rushers to be squared away with OSHA, I hope nobody's surprised here

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

These guys got barely enough staff to run the model lol

Not really a security issue I'd say. The AI speaking gibberish when you try to make it speak gibberish isn't really that big of an issue.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

sure hope you're not in charge of security anywhere

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

Correction: I sure hope they're in charge of security at some place I don't like.
