“Malicious” keywords aren’t exclusively the problem, as the LLM cannot differentiate between “malicious” and “benign”. It’s been trivially easy to intentionally or accidentally hide misinformation in LLMs for a while now. Since they’re black boxes, it could be hard to identify. This is just a slightly more pointed example of data poisoning.
There is no threat to an LLM chatbot outputting text… unless that text is piped into something that can run commands. And who would be stupid enough to do that? Okay, besides vibe coders. And people dumb enough to use AI agents. And people rich enough to stupidly link those AI agents to their bank accounts.
You know it’s bad when even Hacker News, a website funded by venture capital demon Mark Andreessen, calls him out:
Fine article but a very important fact comes in at the end — the author has a human personal assistant. It doesn’t fundamentally change anything they wrote, but it shows how far out of the ordinary this person is. They were a Thiel Fellow in 2020 and graduated from Phillips Exeter, roughly the most elite high school in the US.
Other comments point out his opulence: hotels charging $850 a night, reservations at expensive bay area restaurants, buying $80 gloves, and typing in lowercase because “sam altman types like this, so this is what is cool to the agi believers.”
Bruh people going insane talking to chat gpt and ending it all. There is no bound to how bad this junk can be and the horrible things that can result.
Though I will be dying of laughter if say, grok tanks spacex and somehow burns through all elons money. Might make this entire ai venture worth it for that

I need to pay more attention to how rich people are using AI personally…
Oh, would you like to see something gross?
