lol of the day - noticed I’m quoted in this article, but I never spoke to the publication and the quotes are made up.

lol of the day - noticed I’m quoted in this article, but I never spoke to the publication and the quotes are made up. They use GenAI during article creation and just made up what I thought https://www.techbuzz.ai/articles/hacker-siphons-700k-from-u-k-energy-firm-in-payment-redirect

@GossiTheDog Now we can add that to Wikipedia where the fact that it's in a third party source outweighs you claiming you never said it!

It's a glorious world.

@GossiTheDog grammarly would be proud!

[0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog I’m glad you can laugh it off, I’d be having a breakdown

@GossiTheDog

Can you charge them for the interview?

@GossiTheDog

Hey, some of us can only hope to be prominent enough to feature in hallucinations!

@GossiTheDog Anguilla catching strays for hosting the slop factories. Sorry Anguilla

@troed I strongly doubt Wikipedia editors would trust an AI generated source. If anything we now get that page added to the list of untrusted sources...

@0xabad1dea @GossiTheDog

But the important question everyone wants to know is...

Did LLM correctly 'predict' what would have been your quote had they bothered to ask you... 🤪 (that would bother me most )

@ligniform @GossiTheDog They have the opportunity to do THE funniest thing.

@GossiTheDog it's not slop it's called "synthetic data" it's very futuristic! https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/ipsos-partners-stanford-university-pioneer-future-market-research-synthetic-data

@john_philip_bell @0xabad1dea no, I don't think humans are the weakest link

[mighty_orbot@retro.pizza]

@GossiTheDog Libel lawyers are going to make a killing in the next few years suing AI “news” publications.

[fbarton@infosec.exchange]

@0xabad1dea @john_philip_bell @GossiTheDog the “weakest link” In security being the human is such a trope… and completely incorrect
If anything the humans in the chain are the strongest link, and some of our best detectors!

(Okay with that said… some specific humans may best detect by triggering malware…)

@GossiTheDog Sue them for infringement and defamation

@fbarton @0xabad1dea @GossiTheDog
My earlier joking about LLMs aside...

I too would not agree that humans are 'the weakest link', there surely are cases where 'a human' was 'a weakness', but in the context of Dr. Reason's swiss cheese model, rarely the weakest in the overall design of any system.

After all, a key objective of proper cybersecurity is exactly to mitigate the human factor, so arguably, by definition if it came down to a human, something more critical failed. (Design, GRC, etc.)

(From maker-checker to insider threat - the field is supposed to be designed to reduce the weakness of the human factor, if anything that failed.)

@GossiTheDog And the next time you DO say something - correct or not - we have to check several times to make sure you actually said it. We live in interesting times indeed.

[ireneista@adhd.irenes.space]

@0xabad1dea @GossiTheDog yeah we'd be pursuing legal action. that's really fucked up.

[adriano@lile.cl]

@GossiTheDog ok but what is a "Bitch Eating Crackers attack"?

[dmtomas@mastodon.social]

@GossiTheDog @john_philip_bell @0xabad1dea but, but - I have read an article that says differently;) - and I’m already poking my llm to generate an article saying “cyber security experts (like Kevin Beaumont) are suggesting to swap people for AI’s in your corporations, because “people are the weakest link”
