Rather than burning an entire dinosaur and putting arsenic in a swimming pool to AI generate the image, I'm just going to allow you to imagine a gif of Sam Altman and Elizabeth Holmes morphing back and forth into each other while you read this blog post:

#AIslop
Seeing a fair bit of discussion about #AISlop so shamelessly plugging my article on the AI spam polluting #SocialMedia and deceiving mostly old people with sadcore.
https://newslttrs.com/i-put-my-heart-and-soul-into-this-ai-but-nobody-cares/
It's only going to get worse from here. This could easily kill the whole concept of #bugbounties. Why?
- Genuine researches quit in frustration as they don't get proper reward for their hard work, and see #aislop scoop the money.
- Orgs/projects abandon bug bounty programs since they get mostly AI Slop reports.
- Financial backing (as donations or investment) for bug bounty programs disappears as the money is paid to scammers.
This thing works by generating fake vulnerability reports. Here are some of the qualities of the HackerOne report 3125832 sent to #curl:
- It looks convincing at a glance, especially if you're not a subject matter expert.
- It's vague about actual repro steps. It makes it impossible for the victim project to reproduce the issue. For example, it makes up fake patches against non-existent, imaginary code.
- It refers to functions and methods that do not exist (in case someone tries to look for them). When confronted, the attacker refer to some old or new versions of components, using non-existent commit hashes.
- The report makes up some convincing functionality or names that are novel, but don't really exist.
An expert’s look at the report shows the number of discrepancies, but finding them takes time and effort. It requires attention from a subject matter expert, with limited resources.
The real exploit here is that the attacker (evilginx) exploits the fact that the victims (the orgs who paid the attacker money) don't have the capacity to perform thorough analysis and rather just pay up. TL;DR: It's cheaper to pay the bug bounty than hire an expert to perform true analysis.
Why didn't it work against the curl project? The attacker miscalculated badly. Curl project is not a company and has far greater capability in security response than your average org. Also they can smell #aislop miles away.
Why does the #AISlop problem exist at #hackerone (and likely other bug bounty platforms)?
Because apparently it works: https://hackerone.com/evilginx/hacktivity?type=user
It seems that some projects pay bounties for such AI Slop reports.
curl is one of the foundational and security-critical tools in any *nix system. Like codeberg and gitlab, it is also, now, under siege by LLMs and unscrupulous actors. This is a new genre of AI slop. Brace yourselves.
Jeigu žmogus naudojo AI turiniui generuoti ar papildyti, o ne kūrė jį pats, toks turinys yra nevertas kitų žmonių laiko ir dėmesio :no_ai:
Visos santraukos ar, priešingai - teksto išplėtimai - yra nereikalingi, jokios vertės neturintys skaitmeniniai artefaktai, kuriems turėtų būti gaila ne tik elektros apdoroti, bet ir disko vietos saugoti.
Ten, kur mašininis mokymasis veikia ir turi prasmę, jis jau dešimtmečius naudojamas ir varo sprendimų paramos (decision support) sistemas - medicinoje, energetikoje, kritinės infrastruktūros valdyme. Bet ten už galutinį rezultatą visada atsako žmogus. Kaip ir už kruopščiai kuruojamus duomenis, kuriais specializuoti algoritmai apmokyti.
Didieji kalbos modeliai (Large Language Models - LLM) yra menkavertis žaislas, numestas technologijų inovacijų ištroškusiems veikėjams, kurie į aparatinę ir programinę įrangą investuoja tik smarkiai motyvuoti visokių madingų konferencijų ir žurnalėlių.
Kompiuteris nemąsto, jis bukai atlieka nurodytus veiksmus. Bendrojo intelekto kompiuteris niekada neįgaus. Netikėkite šarlatanais, kurie turi įžūlumo tvirtinti kitaip :blobcatjustright:

<💬>
AI is a cruel technology. It replaces workers, devours millions of gallons of water, vomits CO2 into the atmosphere, propagandises exclusively for the worst ideologies, and fills the world with more ugliness and stupidity. Cruelty is the central tenet of right wing ideology. It is at the heart of everything they do. They are now quite willing to lose money or their lives in order to make the world a crueller place, and AI is a part of this – a mad rush to make a machine god that will liberate capital from labour for good. (This is no exaggeration: there is a lineage from OpenAI’s senior management back to the Lesswrong blog, originator of the concept of Roko’s Basilisk.) Moreso even than cryptocurrency, AI is entirely nihilistic, with zero redeeming qualities. It is a blight upon the world, and it will take decades to clear up the mountains of slop it has generated in the past two or three years.

Embrace reality, reject slop. It's the fascists who run on "feelings over facts".
« Des contenus générés par #IA qui ânonnent des textes qui ne veulent rien dire. Des images stylisées qui nous déconnectent de la réalité. L’internet zombie colonise l’internet, par un remplissage par le vide qui n’a pas d’autre enjeu que de nous désorienter. »

Either this #youtube channel is fake #aislop or the human behind it is trolling the audience.
"Retry Claude can make mistakes" indeed.
Who put David Cronenberg in charge of illustrations? 🤨 #AISlop

I had my history walks in Venice on airbnb experience, and now they've replaced my handcrafted listing with AI slop.
Just press "Publish" they write.
I don't think I will.

tfw trying to look up info so as to repost some cool art from tumblr, and instead finding a curator account that's slipping AI slop in the style of famous painters into a stream of verifiably real artworks :blobcatangry:
👉 decadadedecadencia dot tumblr dot com
what's annoying is a number of the forgeries are quite good, in the sense that if they were made by the human claimed, they would merit hanging somewhere for people to see.
I tried a new coffee roastery just to find out illustrations on their packages are AI slops 🤦♂️ Guess I need to find another roastery. #aislop #packagedesign
