The Promptware Kill Chain / Counterfeit People

Is that a great band name, or what? "The Promptware Kill Chain".

LLMs are text-based processors. No binaries. No encryption. No code/data separation. No access violations.

Hence their complete & utter hackability.

From Bruce Schneier, a framework with 7 layers to try to prevent LLM hacking. Gawd, this tech is such a disaster.

The Promptware Kill Chain

In a new paper, we, the authors, propose a structured seven-step “promptware kill chain” to provide policymakers and security practitioners with the necessary vocabulary and framework to address the escalating AI threat landscape.


Wow, another great band name: "Counterfeit People". From Gary Marcus, channeling Daniel Dennett from 2023.

We URGENTLY need a federal law forbidding AI from impersonating humans

The Problem With Counterfeit People

Companies using AI to generate counterfeit people are committing an immoral act of vandalism, and should be held liable.

By Daniel C. Dennett.

...

Tell your representatives today, not tomorrow, that we must pass federal laws forbidding machine output from being presented as humans, and that we must develop the means to enforce those laws. No use of the first person by chatbots, and no more deepfakes of living people’s voices and images without their express consent, aside from carveouts for obvious parody and so on. All of this has gone too far, too fast. And we must not let corporate lobbyists thwart efforts to address all this.

And let's remember, the Orange Turd Grifter-in-Chief's administration is trying to thwart all state efforts to regulate "AI".


We'll round out this trio with some LOL. If you made this up, no one would believe you. From 404 Media.

Meta Director of AI Safety Allows AI Agent to Accidentally Delete Her Inbox

Nothing humbles you like telling your OpenClaw “confirm before acting” and watching it speedrun deleting your inbox. I couldn’t stop it from my phone. I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb.
