How long before it's illegal to hack LLMs?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It is almost certainly illegal in various countries already. By using such prompts you are bypassing security to get "data" you are not authorized to access.

Well that's only because the laws are insanely vague

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Law-makers wanted to outlaw all kinds "hacking" even involving future technology. If people were prosecuted for jail-breaking ChatGPT, that would probably be within the intention of the makers of these laws.

Fun fact: The US hacking law, CFAA, was inspired by the 1983 movie War Games, in which an out-of-control AI almost starts a nuclear war. If you travelled back in time, and told them that people will trick AIs to answer questions on bomb-making, they'd probably add the death penalty. In fact, if reactions to AI in this Technology community are any guide, they might still get around to that.

I'm sure another DMCA for AI prompts is on the way

Illegal I don’t know, but it could be considered bullying.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It's a glorified autocomplete, I'm not sure how we can consider it bullying even with the most elaborate mental hoops.

I don't know... In America they're currently rolling back rights for women, inserted religion into supreme court decisions, and are seriously debating a second term of Trump.

None of that makes any fucking sense. If it requires elaborate mental hoops, they'll find it.

For now. Ten years ago OpenAI was founded. Who knows where we’ll be in 10 more years.
