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.

I’m in IT at an upper level and know painfully well what “AI” really is and that it’s not the disruptor people think it will be. However I feel like I can’t post it anywhere without being judged about it as almost every exec I know has bought into it hook, line and sinker. Even other people I talk to about the issues and limitations look at me like I’m completely weird “you’re in IT and you don’t embrace AI? wtf is wrong with you?”

So what do you all do? I don’t want to make things career limiting but I feel like I’m screaming in the dark seeing where things will really go. It reminds me a lot of the move to cloud and everyone going all in on it without knowing the real ramifications.

I agree with the cross referencing and scalability, but can you explain how at LLM might be faster at password bruteforcing at all? Those models are not known for their speed.

LLM might be faster at password bruteforcing at al

AI agents can use automation tools and are not limited to being chat bots. LLM just gives dumbasses like you and me the ability to communicate with them.

An AI agent could triage vast libraries of vulnerable targets, designate server resources to facilitate multiple attack types in tandem, and effect cyber warfare on a scale that would require 100s, possibly 1000s, of human agents.

AI could develop innovative malware that simultaneously causes harm and obfuscates it's presence. It could coordinate DDOS attacks etc against rival cyber security assets. Attack power stations.

I am far from the only person concerned about this. https://gizmodo.com/get-ready-the-ai-hacks-are-coming-2000639625
