"LLM-generated passwords"

[tattie@eldritch.cafe]

@quincy this is like "here is a random number I generated, feel free to use it for all your random-number needs: 11"

@energisch_

and those who made this box think it's a great idea to continue building it and nuke ourselves with it.

and they have followers.

@Tattie @quincy

there is an xkcd for that

[weirdmustard@cyberpunk.lol]

@quincy Wait what. Password managers have been generating safe passwords for decades, what are ppl doing, asking GPT instead

@quincy

This is python’s math/rand vs crypto/rand all over again, except this time nobody reads the fucking documentation!

[spitefully_optimistic@hachyderm.io]

@quincy So you tasked the model that is supposed to come up with the likeliest string of characters to a problem with giving you a random password? Well, I got news for ya...

[lizbian@chaos.social]

@quincy Wait, wait. The system, that is meant to predict what comes next after seeing a text, can only generate predictable passwords? Who would have thought!

@quincy@chaos.social It's hard to believe that the statistical plausibility machine might not be a good source of entropy.

[slotos@toot.community]

@quincy Another case of „we have a tool for that already!”

[marjolica@social.linux.pizza]

@quincy no doubt the LLM had been trained on the 'I've been Pwnd' dataset.

[quincy@chaos.social]

@marjolica very likely!

[kkarhan@infosec.space]

@quincy seriously, I thought we had that re: password security & cryptogeaphy already done...

At leadt I did…

[ki@chaos.social]

@quincy
I have questions I don't wanna know the answers to

[purrperl@noc.social]

@quincy

Famous last passwords.

[n3tcat@crabsin.space]

@quincy umm actually sweaty the more you boil the ocean the more secure your password is

@quincy "LLM-generated passwords" Wait...WWAT???
