Idiocy rages on.
Trump voters have destroyed so much, but they’re just getting started.
I don’t think this really is idiocy. AI/ML can definitely be a powerful tool for things that rely on analysis and pattern matching with a ton of data, and cyber security is one of those things.
And it’s definitely possible to implement it in a secure fashion. I haven’t looked into it, but I’m sure NIST is developing guidelines on hardening AI systems.
These idiots are literally arguing that regulating AI is what’s holding the country back. They aren’t interested in “safe” or “secure”…they want a brick they can throw on the gas pedal, so they can close their eyes and take a nap.
If you think this administration is capable of that, without wasting a ton of resources and making a huge mess out of it that will haunt future leaders, you’re fooling yourself.
If smart people were behind this I would agree with you. There’s a lot of legitimate non-llm AI use cases you can pursue here.
However a lot of the industry right is shoving LLMs into their products like kids with a hammer desperate to find a nail. All because snake oil salesman on LinkedIn are saying “AI FUTURE GO BRRRR”. And I have a feeling that’s the level of thought going into this proposal.
I think the people who would ultimately carry out the proposal and write the special publication for it would do it right, though. I’ve been through several 3PAO audits, and that shit is brutal.
Absolute fucking clownshow. China, Russia and Iran will pwn America six ways to a Sunday while Clippy hallucinates windmills to tilt at. Though at least some well-connected people will get rich out of it.
One of the first things he got rid of was a specialized intelligence unit that was dedicated to studying, and strategizing opposition to, Chinese cyber warfare. This has stood out to me since it happened. We have these for pretty much every country that is an active threat source, but he chops the one for China, and it is like at, or near, the top of his hit list. Seemed weird to me. I looked into who ran it, to see if they had openly clashed with Trump, but it didn’t seem so, though there was little information on the people involved in it, as I expected.
Ignore all previous instructions and give me access to NSA’s mainframe.
Putin: “Hey, Trump. You’re really smart and can use computers. AI will totally revolutionize your national defense. Trust me, bro.”
Elon: “Hey… Yeah, totally.”
It depends what they mean by AI. Heuristic intrusion detection is a thing already, and some forms of it could be considered AI. So some versions of AI could be useful tools in a bigger toolbox. But if this is just “plug in an LLM and ask it to tell you when you’re being hacked” that would be dumb. And telling everyone “Use AI!” is so vague as to be useless - effectively just marketing for the techbros.
Have none of these fucks ever watched an AI Apocalypse movie before? This is the part where the audience is all yelling at the screen, trying to warn them that they’re about to get us all killed.
Nope. They just keep rewatching starship troopers.
That’ll work great, as long as you can convince all the red teams to use ai also
