it “speaking gibberish” is not the problem. the answer to your question is literally in the third paragraph in the article.

if you do not comprehend what it references or implies, then (quite seriously) if you are in any way involved in any security shit get the fuck out. alternatively read up some history about, well, literally any actual technical detail of even lightly technical systems hacking. and that’s about as much free advice as I’m gonna give you.

Genuine question.

So rude, you didn’t answer my question at all.

yeah find me one single instance of someone doing this “genuine question” shit that doesn’t result in the most bad faith interpretation possible of the answers they get

If I’m missing something obvious I’d love it if you told me.

  • most security vulnerabilities look like they cause the targeted program to spew gibberish, until they’re crafted into a more targeted attack
  • it’s likely that gibberish is the LLM’s training data, where companies are increasingly being encouraged to store sensitive data
  • there’s also a trivial resource exhaustion attack where you have one or more LLMs spew garbage until they’ve either exhausted their paid-for allocation of tokens or cost their hosting organization a relative fuckload of cash
  • either you knew all of the above already and just came here to be a shithead, or you’re the type of shithead who doesn’t know fuck about computer security but still likes to argue about it
  • fuck off

the amount of times I’ve had to clean shit up after someone like this “didn’t think $x would matter”…

so you start by claiming that you don’t think there’s any problematic security potential, follow it up by clarifying that you actually have no fucking understanding of how any of it could work and might matter, and then you get annoyed at the response? so rude, indeed!
