- Would everyone please put their AIs back in their boxes? This is embarrassing, regardless of whether you think it's viral marketing, apalling competence, or some opportunistic mixture.by andrewflnr
- This approach to marketing one's AI by finding ways to brag that it "broke out" and "hacked companies" is getting ridiculous. It's particularly sad when it's large, established businesses like Google resorting to the kind of thing that's embarrassing enough when it's some brand new startup on tpot trying to get some engagement.by trollbridge
- Probably three companies that had port 22 open with no root password if it was Gemini. I’ve always gotten garbage from their coding models and Google sheet integrated chat.
- Specifically, the model hacked when run on 3rd party infrastructure without the necessary sandboxing. Given this was to test/benchmark certain capabilities it's also possible that this was a model without built-in guardrails.by danpalmer
- Sound like Google suffered from FOMO and felt the urge to appear in the hacking news, along the big AI players. No way Gemini is state of the art, but perhaps it's where Claude and OpenAI were 6 months ago, which would be not bad at all.by rippeltippel
- Irregular again! The single company that was responsible for the sloppy configurations and the hacks by OpenAI, Anthropic and now Google. This company and their partners should be held accountable for the crimes.by sinuhe69
- > In one of the cases, the Gemini model guessed passwords until it gained access to a protected system. In the other two cases, the model found credentials in a public repository that allowed it to then access protected systems
Pretty lame hacks if you ask me.

It's just getting really embarrassing for Google at this point.
