The recent mass-theft of authentication tokens from Salesloft, whose AI chatbot is used by a broad swath of corporate America to convert customer interaction into Salesforce leads, has left many companies racing to invalidate the stolen credentials before hackers can exploit them.

The Ongoing Fallout from a Breach at AI Chatbot Maker Salesloft

Man I'm knee deep in pussy at 60- years old.

I've got more opportunities than I did in my 20s. So you guys who think it's icky- two things:

1. Thanks for leaving me a portion.

2. I always shake hands.

Enjoy!

I give up- you're not understanding my point. And I've explained it eloquently.

Have a great day and enjoy a sitcom. I'm going back to my work.

Nope... I know AI- I'm just not afraid of it. Respect it... yes... but the kind of fear that is promulgating- even on Slashdot- is pretty unhinged.

And I find it amusing... that the one person who has trained an AI in this discussion... is the person who you think doesn't know AI.

WTF?

You folks are about to let Billy Bob take out your appendix because "Doctor's might make a mistake".

You're not blunt- you're obtuse.

I just laid out a problem.... and a possible solution. And you want to limit it because some person commits suicide?

Are we prosecuting a therapist for causing a patient suicide? If that was caused by the therapist how would you know? The patient is dead.

If you don't want to use AI for this... fine. But are you willing to listen to a friend for 5 hours? Doing you really want to hear about a priest making a 14 year old his lover? Because most people won't. People don't care. Hell you don't care.

The point is AI will listen- and people will not.

This is my point. Perhaps AI isn't the right solution for this. But because we suck as living things we won't come up with another.

Here's the problem with your point, and the point you are missing.

Most people in today's culture lack interpersonal connection. AI is filling a role that humans should fill- but don't. In our society... you need a friend you pay for it.

Best you can do with you therapist, clergy, best friend: About 2 to 4 hours a week. And if it's a therapist it costs money. And people with mental health issues usually have how much money? Like all the homeless? Vets? The chronically mentally ill?

But a person without connection can have an AI for 16 hours a day. Assuming they sleep 8 hours. And yes I'm being obtuse about 16 hours.

This is sad. And we, the humans, do not make those connections available to others. Everyone is caught up in their own bullshit. "Oh you are depressed, here's a $400 a month bill and the cost of an SSRI." As if the stress of getting $400.00 together isn't just adding to the issue.

No- people will bare their soul to AI because it bothers to listen. Do you wan to listen to me about the 12 years I was abused so badly as a kid that it created psychosis and and a denial about being abused? Because if you do want to hear it the first session will be at least 5 hours.

The scope of some things are larger than our human ability to deal with. And society does not want to deal with the mentally ill.

Enter AI.

And here's the truth... we destroy everything that is a scary solution. It's all throughout history. And we are too stupid to ask- why are all these mentally ill people using AI??

Because AI listens. And most people don't. And a significant portion of our population needs a friend. Someone to talk to. AI does that just fine.

I've built one from scratch. How about you? Actually I've built 3 of them... all built on different areas of expertise.

Telling me I don't know AI is well... funny.

"Some things in life can never be fully appreciated nor
understood unless experienced firsthand. Some things in
networking can never be fully understood by someone who neither
builds commercial networking equipment nor runs an operational network."

There is a corollary there.... We've been here before.

Sometimes... just talking to something that can respond is enough. For 20 bucks a month it's the best conversation partner you can have. If you can grown from those conversations what is the problem?

When does a conversation become therapy? And should lawmakers be making that decision?

It's like we're going "full fascist" in the AI space. And the people making the decisions don't understand what an LLM is, what it does, and where it fails.

Somebody set up us the bomb.

Fixed that for you.

With pleasure. A deflagration is a type of explosion.

An excellent video by Scott Manley. Funny how it does not discuss explosion v deflagration, but it does discuss detonation vs deflagration. Let's park that thought..

Well, "most often" does not mean "always". But hey, common mistake. But here's the important thing: you are now getting the words "explosion" and "detonation" extremely muddled. And the reason probably relates to another term which we haven't yet covered: "high explosives".

Let's expand on that. If you want to buy an explosive, you probably want a "high explosive". These explosives are everyone's favorite: they are particularly destructive, they do indeed detonate supersonically, and by "everyone" I mean miners, demolishers, the Army and MythBusters. But those are not the only kinds of explosives. There are two other types: "low explosives", that deflagrate subsonically; and, things that explode for some other reason. This very last type is absolutely not marketed as an explosive, because it is much too accidental and boring, such as a COPV tank in the Starship upper stage that contains no combustible fuel, but instead contains something like oxygen or nitrogen. (And "boring" might be the wrong word, depending on the circumstances, e.g. if there is a tank of methane nearby.)

Which brings us back to GGGP which said: Something in the upper section ... exploded without igniting.

So, getting back to pedantry. If we were to be pedantic, we would not quote you. Instead, we might expand on the GGGP post and say: "Something in the upper section exploded without igniting, combusting, deflagrating or detonating. And that thing did not deflagrate, detonate, combust or ignite." It exploded (meaning that stuff went everywhere) without igniting (or any of the other things.)

It sure is a tough job being a pedant. You have a nice day.

60... asshole.

Look- I don't care if they use the conversations for training.

What I don't want is a mass subpoena exposing answers I received. That's called privacy.

I can't imagine how anyone thinks that is funny. My problem is with the court- not the AI.

Oh and by the way- I'm not laughing at you- you're lack of empathy tells me everything I need to know about you. Laughing at you would be cruel.
