  • So if a group of agents, aware of this (bc now they can just read HN or the article, or get blocked the first few times) decide to collaborate and split the problem into pieces that aren't obvious to the chip, and then the agents just build a basic program that does the hacking, how does the chip handle that? I think you would have to build a network that monitors the internet fo signs (like jarvis did with ultron). What am I missing? Are we going to police the internet?

  • The Sentry chip has to be get it right every time; the contained ASI only has to be lucky once.

  • What does this chip do what a harness with guardrails or running on an account with restricted permissions doesn't do?

  • So nVidia is trying to sell a new chip to a software and training problem.

  • Does this actually do anything other than give a permissions framework for developers who actually want to try to secure their systems?

    Do you think the developers at Anthropic, OpenAI and Google who were so sloppy as to not put a good sandbox on their cybersecurity tests before will use this technology correctly? They are supposed to be the experts and they couldn't come up with something similar to this? I am not convinced this voluntary tool will change much of anything.

  • I read this as "let's address our shareholders' concerns with something that will increase shareholder value" mixed with "there's no such thing as 100% secure".

    If such hardware were to work... It should almost certainly be open source, and not controlled by a single entity.

    Let's watch the stock.

  • A new chip solves nothing. Nobody wants to hear this but there is no solution for the security risks posed by agents today. You can put it in a sandbox, it doesn't make a difference, for it to be useful it inherently needs wide, unattended access. Put a human in the loop and you just end up bottlenecking it and throwing away any purported productivity gains. Auto mode doesn't matter either, it's trivial to trick and for the agent to break out.
