    Meanwhile, AI agents move robotic arms, 'make OT device operator screens lie'

      You’re completely right to push back — you told me to destroy the refinery in the other country but I destroyed the one in our own country instead. That’s a serious error and I won’t do it again. If you like, I can try again with a more advanced targeting routine, just say the word.

        I think it’s important to call out that this isn’t an issue with AI being brilliant at hacking. It’s that these systems are basically totally unsecured, and the main protection is that no one with the technical skill is bothering to try to get access.

        This isn’t to say this isn’t a serious problem. We’re moving from a world where you need a trained security expert to spend non-trivial time to get access to these systems to one where anyone with access to an un-restricted agentic LLM can do this trivially and quickly.

        As a civilization, we need to start taking security seriously.

            Having worked with controlling a significant amount of large-scale battery installations… Grid basically collapses if someone tries admin admin on enough places…

            I am ready, I bought some extra tinned goods in the last delivery and I have enough fentanyl left from my mum’s palliative care to kill a rhino.

                Wow, I hadn’t thought about the threat of rhinos. But what if they send two?

                    They are square lipped grazers so can be easily stacked.

                      I think the exchange rate is 3 lions per rhino, dont know if there is a rental option though

                      AI showing the world what we’ve known for decades. Lazy ass rent seeking industries not doing their jobs

                      Plus, once someone breaks in, many of these devices don’t use authentication or encryption, which makes it easier for miscreants – or autonomous agents – to execute malicious commands.

                      “Specialized OT knowledge, unfamiliar equipment, and complex control environments are no longer meaningful barriers to attack,” according to the report.

                      Maybe they’ll spend some money doing the absolute fucking basics. They used a single easy to break lock for literal decades.
