Bet it was scraped from a labs confidential upcoming, unpublished research.
It’s a nice trick, but then what, when researchers start using fully private selfhosted models or quit LLMs all together and the limitless data exfiltration ends?
Fantastic.
3 years late, but I guess it wouldn’t be Qualcomm without a helping of disappointment.
I mean, hallucinations are possible, especially if you have long-running agents. However, I also suspect direct instruction, simply as the alternative would take too long, be excessively expensive and the “newsworthy” result subject to chance.
Can’t build a PR strategy on that.
So, this is going to continue to escalate, until whoever gave the text generator the software tools needed to do this and gave it the access without any kind of firewall, gets charged with the appropriate felonies and is put in jail.
To be clear, this is illegal activity, and the LLM can only do this if a human provides the means. That human == criminal scum.
So, like, if i do this, my IP is logged, cross referenced by my ISP, then the police come knocking at my door, as I have committed a felony (and probably a number of other violations along the way).
Are these laws now invalid or what?
I managed to save myself a decent nest egg - but they’re going to crash the market and it will be fucking worthless.
Depending on the exact setup, it does not have to be. Assuming it’s in stocks or a stock fund, you can always hedge it against downturns with options. Of course I do absolutely recommend really understanding that first before using it, as you can also gamble and lose money faster. But when you do, contracts exist that allow you to ‘configure’ a portfolio that, temporarily, will cancel out any market drops. Barring ethical reservations, of course. Naturally, that also carrries the risk that the bank selling the contract goes tits up, but it seems you’re already in that boat. To manage that, you can aim for diversification across multiple banks and instruments. Not an advertisement or anything, but since covid I’ve found directly owned old-school crypto to be a good hedge in rough times (but need to get in low and work in the 2-5year timeframe). But for the love of god, leave out all emotions, calculate with a spreadsheet and don’t put all eggs in one basket.
I’m not any kind of advisor, just got pissed about the shit economic situations we lived through and looked into what can be done about it.
Nice setup! Might check out some services I didn’t know about yet.
But I might add one thing, because I am/was in the same boat: Friends Don’t Let Friends Use Ollama
It will discourage generating new inputs, which it completely relies on, and thus, will quickly kill itself.
