    I was thinking today while driving my 30 year old car to town, what would happen if I somehow tricked an AI to use its spare capacity to mine crypto, and it somehow became a worm that all AI data centres picked up, resulting in me getting a nice wallet. Who is committing the crime? Who is losing for me winning?

    Would it be like blaming the blue box because it gave me the free phone calls?

      🤔

      “Who is committing the crime?”

      You, if they can pin some bullshit on you, which they will try no matter how much a stretch the charge.

      And it’ll be very hard to get it to stick, one of the few things–Wait.

      I read OpenAI’s bullshit technical paper on their “incident”. I think I realized the easiest vector.

      Their internal package repository systems.

      During testing they both load them up with whatever the fuck they think will help what they’re testing but they also let the models freely iterate with whatever else is there.

      How do they determine what goes there?

      Well.

      Every slop purveyor starts or arrives very early on at the same conclusion; the marketing they got was over hyped and they need to attempt to build a better mousetrap.

      The models are better than average for this task over others, because that is also what the AI company is doing all the time, to put it simply.

      And the AI company has no issues with copying the repos of the sloppers. They literally just use their snoop ability to grab whatever “improvements” people using their platform’s harness “develop”.

      So. If you were to make a particularly good at “tokenmaxing” approach targeting one of their platforms, just catnip fill it with all of the other Holy Grails these chuds are always chasing, and it gets popular enough, it just might make its way to those internal testing repos tainted code and all, if it’s extremely subtle enough…

      🤔 Do I wanna risk jail yet?

      Well the guys that made computer programs to stream their own bullshit songs they put on places like spotify millions of times and earn real money in accumulated royalties were hunted down and charged under serious federal crimes.

      Wire fraud is their go to in cases like this, it’s really broad. Any sort of scheme or dishonesty that involves the mail or a wire can convict you of that 4 year felony let alone everything else.

        Just don’t get caught. The spotify one because you need to give them your identification data to put your songs up. The bitcoin address will be just a random wallet. You just need to be smart in how to turn those into other national currencies.
