Incredible research at BlackHat Asia today by Tong Liu and team from the Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (在iie.ac.cn 的电子邮件经过验证)
A dozen+ RCEs on popular LLM framework libraries like LangChain and LlamaIndex - used in lots of chat-assisted apps including GitHub. These guys got a reverse shell in two prompts, and even managed to exploit SetUID for full root on the underlying VM!

There are so many innovations in the modern tech industry, it's easy to lose track. I knew about the fake unregulated taxis, the fake unregulated hotels, the fake unregulated banks, and the fake unregulated gambling, but I did *not* know about the fake, unregulated student loans.
Thanks, Y Combinator!

Ho pubblicato la puntata di #NuovoBarettoUtopia con @pluralistic Cory Doctorow.
È stato un onore e un piacere parlare con lui. Abbiamo parlato di The Bezzle, il suo nuovo libro, ma anche di temi affascinanti come il sistema carcerario americano, gli abusi di potere, le truffe, le bolle tecnologiche e l'IA.
La puntata è in inglese, ma sono disponibili i sottotitoli. Sono felicissimo di pubblicare un contenuto così solo sul Fediverso, senza regalarlo a YouTube.

I don't have enough characters here to express my frustration and sadness at Google's decision to have nine of their own employees arrested for a peaceful protest yesterday, so I wrote more about it on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/timwilde_no-tech-for-apartheid-activity-7186353758476357632-cU_G?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios
Google, I'm so sad, angry, and disappointed at you. This is not the company I signed up for. I'm spending today in serious contemplation of my next steps and path forward.

At least 9 #Google employees, were arrested Tuesday after staging sit-ins at the company’s offices in #NewYork and in California to protest the tech giant’s work with Israel.
The sit-ins, organized by the activist group No Tech for Apartheid, took place at Google Cloud CEO #Kurian office in Sunnyvale, California, and the 10th floor commons of Google’s NY office.Protesters are calling for Google to withdraw from a $1.2 billion contract to provide cloud computing services to the Israeli government, known as Project Nimbus.
Last week, Time magazine reported Google’s work on the project involves providing direct services to the Israeli military.The sit-ins were accompanied by outdoor protests at the Google offices, in NY and in #Sunnyvale, #SanFrancisco and #Seattle.
Workers and outside activists have opposed the contract since it was signed in 2021, but protests have ramped up over the past several months since Israel’s latest bombardment of Gaza.#NoTechForApartheid says #Google is enabling and profiting from Israel’s use of AI to develop a “kill list” to target Palestinians in #Gaza for assassination with little human oversight.
The #IDF also uses #GooglePhotos for #facialrecognition across Gaza and the #WestBank to identify and detain Palestinians en masse.

Facebook’s “AI” is responding to posts pretending to be human; in this case claiming to have a gifted and disabled child who attends a NYC school.
How many other accounts are actually large language models masquerading as people? This seems incredibly irresponsible—and is a great reminder that “AI” is machines mindlessly regurgitating things from elsewhere on the Internet.
AI is not sustainable.
