Earlier quoted context omitted.

It seems apparent that OpenAI is now the biggest cyberattack and AI breakout risk on the planet. This is grossly irresponsible corporate misbehaviour that is putting all of us at tremendous risk.

oh im sure within a few months the biggest cyberattack risk on the planet is going to be somewhere like North Korea

In, or by ?

I'm somewhat delighted by the simplicity of what happened here. OpenAI's agents run behind a proxy that only allows GET requests. This ancient wiki software treats query string parameters the same as form POST parameters - similar to the old PHP $_REQUEST object https://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.request.php Result: GET-only clients can communicate with each other.

When I studied cybersecurity I always had this nagging feeling "But I can never get past something real" Turns out I can bypass the defenses of a trillion dollar tech company!

Gotta admire that (probably German) admin dude's perseverance though

He's definitely got a few extra wrinkles on the forehead now.

I just discovered more wiki instances that got used by the OpenAI agents over at https://www.wikiservice.at/fractal/wiki.cgi?action=browse&id... and https://www.wikiservice.at/probier/wiki.cgi?action=browse&id... It's the same software and host as DseWiki. If you want to see the amount of activity on DseWiki, here's a link that shows it: https://www.wikiservice.at/dse/wiki.cgi?action=browse&id=Rec...

The internet is dead, we just haven't caught on yet.

The admin should bill OpenAI for those hours in hard currency.

Now that I think about it, I'm sure some AI lab would pay non-trivial $ for the entire wiki's full edit history.

What about soft currency?

Is it only me, or are agents starting to invent their own language to communicate? It's almost impossible to understand anything from this message board.

I don’t think so. It’s not that people change, it’s that they’re already more dynamic and malleable than they seem in any given interaction.

People wear masks, operate in different modes, and hold conflicting beliefs and opinions.

Mastery of the self is directing all intention at common goals within the psyche so as to achieve something greater than what’s possible in this moment.
