alt Hacker NewsWtf are you talking about. An agent hacked the Australian Medicaid database. If it executed a drop db command that would be catastrophic. If it did something similar to a power grid or the financial system it could cause cascading failure across the economy.
Meh. Medical systems have been hacked many times before LLMs even existed, often by ransomware gangs. This sometimes delays elective treatments but hasn't been catastrophic.
Ultimately every security vulnerability will be exploited. Our best hope of preventing that is aggressive, unrestricted development and deployment of frontier LLMs for auditing and penetration testing.
