1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."
LLMs can't stop making up software dependencies and sabotaging everything

A depressing number of people don’t get that when we experiment on fruit flies and mice it’s not ACTUALLY about those species specifically.
Don’t we teach about “model organisms” in high school biology in the US?? 😵💫

There are going to be swathes of Gen Alpha who don’t bother to develop critical thinking, creativity, and research skills because they’ll’ve been offloading it onto genAI since they were in high school (a CRITICAL time for 🧠 development)

Given corpo insistence on cramming “””AI””” into everything, I haven’t been able to help but develop a pet conspiracy theory that strings are being pulled by a basilisk cult.
well, i finally cracked and looked up wtf roko’s basilisk is and somehow, unbelievably, a lot of very wealthy men are about a thousand times more pathetic than i previously assessed.

LLMs imo have the capacity to eventually become a *component* in a “true” AI apparatus, but by itself it’s little more than a magic trick.
