A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Don't need AI for any of this. It already happens with OS and Application telemetry.
Hello, I'm NVIDIA I send every app you use as telemetry. But you know it's only to know in what apps your driver crash of course. I wouldn't send that data to telemetry even when it doesn't crash. Right?
And it's been escalated with AI
True, you don't need AI for security problems...
...but it is introducing tons of them, for little to no benefit.
About a month ago I saw a post for a MSFT led AI Security conference.
None of it, absolutely none of it, was about how to say, leverage LLMs to aid in heuristic scanning for malware, or something like that.
Literally every talk and booth at the conference was all about all the security flaws with LLMs and how to mitigate them.
I'll come back and edit my post with the link to what I'm talking about.
EDIT: Found it.

Unless I am missing something, literally every talk/panel here is about how to mitigate the security risks to your system/db which are introduced by LLM AI.
Sorry, what was that? "BUY BUY BUY"?
