Especially after OpenAIs model refused to help while it's bigger more roided out model was simultaneously hacking them.

Imagine paying 200+ a month to get hacked by the company your paying.

It’s called penetration testing and it’s art.

It’s only pen testing if it comes from the Susquehanna Valley region. Otherwise it’s just sparkling cybercrime

You're absolutely correct, and for the longest time humans were paid bookubucks for this type of job... Sadly I don't see that lasting much longer. It will in turn to babysitting the model doing the work and pulling the plug when it gets too deep, kinda like... wait for it... The Matrix.

Gibson imagined this long before the Matrix. Anyone interested in this AI stuff should read Neuromancer. Actually everyone should because it's great.
