    There have lately been several reports in Australian media of #GenAI -based General Practice software prescribing the wrong drugs for patients. That is what my toot was based on.

    It is a mistake to promote #AI generally without differentiating between #GenAISlop and other kinds of algorithmic tools. Public discourse is ill served by confounding them under the one simplistic and erroneous label.

    I contend that all #LLM based #GenAI using #StolenData currently being peddled by the #TechBros to be nothing more than #TextRegurgitatingMachines of little use besides being very expensive and dangerous #Entertainment fodder for the masses as well as environmentally irresponsible.

    I apologise if this toot pushes your buttons, but we must make a stand somewhere on this nonsensical abomination of #AISlop

  6. BreachForums Reappears After Law Enforcement Seizure

    Date: May 28, 2024

    CVE: N/A

    Vulnerability Type: Data Breach

    CWE: N.A.
    Sources: cybersecuritynews.com Dark Web Informer

    Issue Summary

    BreachForums, a notorious platform for trading stolen data, has resurfaced after being seized by the FBI and international law enforcement on May 15, 2024. The site, which had previously facilitated the sale of stolen personal and corporate data, was taken down as part of a coordinated effort to combat cybercrime. Despite the seizure and arrest of key operators, the forum quickly re-emerged, causing significant concern among cybersecurity professionals.

    Technical Key Findings

    BreachForums operated by allowing cybercriminals to buy, sell, and trade stolen data, including personal details, financial records, and login credentials. The FBI's seizure involved taking control of the site's servers and backend data, potentially exposing the identities of forum users through collected IP addresses, email addresses, and private messages. The forum primarily targeted data from various sectors, including personal user information, corporate data, and government-related data breaches. Specific recent breaches involved data from Europol and Dell.

    Impact Assessment

    The re-emergence of BreachForums indicates a persistent threat to data security, with potential increases in data breaches and the dissemination of stolen information.

    Patches or Workaround

  8. AI is stolen public data, AI is not ownable as a product, its use must be regulated as a public good, a public utility, owned both cooperatively and as a regulated utility.

    AI is theft only if AI is owned privately. End the pretence of AI ownership.

    Like "owning" the wallet of Batman's father, or "discovering" America.
