AI Honeypot network infrastructure generator (HoneypotGPT?) could be fantastic.

You could imagine it wasting the resources of hackers convincingly enough that it would water down the potential effect of hacking online generally. It could even make up fake internal documents and state secrets.

I'm only half joking (I think)?




This looks awesome, glad to see the internet is one step ahead of me!


The other day I saw the retraction of a leak of customer data, on the grounds that the claimed data was very obviously from an LLM, which outsiders could trust wasn't just the company saying so because of things like "the email addresses don't match the people's names" and "the zip codes don't correspond to the states they're supposedly in".

Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the place that denied the leak, which makes it hard to search for amongst the torrent of attacks that I find in search results.


Yup, hard to find these days, but here you go:

It was Europcar https://twitter.com/BleepinComputer/status/17524608970316843...

And it wasn't LLM/AI generated, just good old faker apparently https://twitter.com/KasadaIQ/status/1753201379043365326?t=IZ...


Why attribute to normal/boring/commodity tools that which can be attributed to "LLMS" and "AI" and "CHATGPT"?

Because they're really good at this, and even idiots can use them.

What I want to know is why people capitalise things that aren't acronyms or initialisms, e.g. "MAC"[0], "SWIFT"[1], the "S" in "LLMS", and the "HAT" in "CHATGPT" :P

[0] The brand which is a contraction of Macintosh, not to be confused with Medium Access Control or several other things.

[1] As in the language, not the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication.


ROTH is always my favorite one as in ROTH IRA. It's named after a person [0].

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roth_IRA


Or 'Zip code'.

It's ZIP code.

Annoys the heck out of me...


Typoes.


Would you believe that Neal Stephenson had this idea in Anathem, written in 2008?
