"So, wait, a rop chain is just a program you right from someone else's code into memory you don't control so you can run code on someone else's computer?" "More or less." "That's insane." "Pretty much."

Two additional hot takes: 1) InfoSec is broadly doing a better job at calling out AI BS because we've got more experience than other tech sub-disciplines at dealing with the Gartner Hype Cycle. 2) InfoSec is doing a better job at calling out AI BS because we're more interdisciplinary and have […]

You know, as an undergrad in the early naughts, I really wanted to go to Cornell for Computer Science. I just checked their course descriptions. It's nice to see their program hasn't changed barely at all in 20+ years. (Yes, this is slight insult.)

@Sempf @cR0w I'm really waiting for the proof from the theoreticians that Prompt Injection detection reduces to the halting problem. We still struggle with input validation when differentiating between data and code, and those are different languages.

Today's hill I'm taking a stand on: Anyone working on AI should have basic knowledge of intellectual property law. Doesn't need to be that deep, but they need to be able to recognize when they need to talk to a lawyer.

@sambowne That said, one would expect the missing text to still be in the source if it was just a front end error, no? The missing text doesn't seem to be in the source on the Wayback Machine. ttps://web.archive.org/web/20250806023110/https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/

@Viss Now that I'm reading the article, this is absolutely insane. Microsoft's giving up one of their few real advantages of Azure. Is this just step 1 in decomming Azure VMs as a whole?
