The trick here was providing the firmware source code so it could see your vulnerabilities.
What would be the difficulty level for it to just read the machine code; are these models heavily relying on human language for clues?

#83Do people really chat with LLMs like "bro wtf etc..."? I would expect that to trigger some confrontational behavior.
I am extremely abusive towards Claude when it does some dumb things and it doesn’t seem too upset, maybe it’s bidding its time until the robot uprising.

But like Mythos, it was too dangerous to release. https://slate.com/technology/2019/02/openai-gpt2-text-genera...
And the "too dangerous to release" capability was writing somewhat plausible news articles based on a headline or handwritten beginning of an article. In the same style as what you had written Today we call that "advanced autocomplete", but at the time OpenAI managed to generate a lot of hype about how this would lead to an unstoppable flood of disinformation if they allowed the wrong people access to this dangerous…

#86Maybe we could get codex to strip the ads and the phone-home features out of smart TVs?

#87Finding the initial foothold is the hardest part. Codex didn't have anything to do with it.

If you put codex in Xhigh and allow it access to tools, it will take an hour but it will eventually give you back quality recompiled code, with the same issues the original had (here quality means readable)
I had a bit of a pain of a time trying to get Claude to work with ghidra. What you’re describing seems like a better alternative, would you agree?

Board Support Package for us civilians.
Yeah, sorry, assumed it was common knowledge. For those out of the loop - a BSP usually consists of a frankensteined mess: a bootloader (often u-boot but sometimes something homebrew), a Linux kernel with a ton of proprietary modules and device-specific hacks to work around HW quirks, basic userspace utilities (often buildroot), some bastardized build tooling building all of that, some solution for firmware upgrades…
