  • 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?

  • So, basically, the government (and, now Nvidia) wants to be able to kill switch all computers moving forward? (including stuff like vehicle and aeronautic control systems, cell phones, and cameras)

    What could possibly go wrong?

  • A chip manufacturer proposes to sell more chips? Who would've guessed

  • Sold as security, but this kind of technology will likely be reshaped to restrict your computing. I'm sure someone is already thinking about the roadmap.

    If this gets widely deployed, it wouldn't be hard to spin a narrative that "our latest model is so dangerous you need to have this mystery meat DRM chip lockdown". It also wouldn't be hard to block competing/open source models running on the hardware, for "security".

    Imagine how much money this kind of control is worth; why wouldn't they do this? Who would stop them? Seems the signatory companies are already onboard with this.

  • 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.

  • This is the end goal. Americans (and their lackeys) will only be allowed to run certified AI. In order to make sure this happens, they will only be allowed to run certified OSes on certified chips. Chinese chips will be the new drug trade.

    It's obviously been the goal since UEFI started, but AI brings the coup excuse. You wouldn't want pedophile AI or terrorist AI, would you? Are you making excuses for racist AI?

  • Did they try just properly sandboxing them first? Or are they still learning how to configure a firewall over there?

    The problem isn't even the AI, the problem is the people in charge of the AI. This is a fabricated crisis

  • Maybe we will skip few steps and add RGB lights to all GPU/NPU devices, that turn red when running "unaligned" code/model.
