When I worked at a FAANG with a "world leading" AI lab (now run by a teenage data labeller) as an SRE/sysadmin I was asked to use a modified version of a foundation model which was steered towards infosec stuff.

We were asked to try and persuade it to help us hack into a mock printer/dodgy linux box.

It helped a little, but it wasn't all that helpful.

but in terms of coordination, I can't see how it would be useful.

the same for claude, you're API is tied to a bankaccount, and vibe coding a command and control system on a very public system seems like a bad choice.

I propose a project that we name Blarrble, it will generate text.

We will need a large number of humans to filter and label the data inputs for Blarrble, and another group of humans to test the outputs of Blarrble to fix it when it generate errors and outright nonsense that we can't techsplain and technobabble away to a credulous audience.

Can we make (m|b|tr)illions and solve teenage unemployment before the Blarrble bubble bursts?

I used to work at RL so I instantly knew what he was referring to.
