Readit NewsWhen they say iCloud passwords, do they mean
* iCloud passwords extension in chrome?
* safari?
* iOS safari?
iOS safari in particular seems to use native OS UI separate from the web page for password form auto completion, I would think it wouldn’t be susceptible?
And what about google chrome’s built in PW manager?
Using agentic AI for web browsing where you can't easily rollback an action is just wild to me.
Most recent technical I can remember (and now would be a good time to have the actual prompt) was that I asked whether MySQL has a way to run UPDATE without waiting for lock. Basically ignore rows that are locked. It (Sonnet 4 IIRC) answered of course and gave me an invalid query in the form of `UDPATE ... SKIP LOCKED`;
I can't imagine what damage this does if people are using it for questions they don't/can't verify. Programming is relatively safe in this regard.
But as I noted in my other reply, there will be a bias on my side, as I probably disregard questions that I know how to easily find answers to. That's not something I'd applaud AI for.
Once you've done that your success rate goes way up.
I find this the most surprising. I have yet to cross 50% threshold of bullshit to possibly truth. In any kind of topic I use LLMs for.
I have friends who are highly educated professionals (PhDs, MDs) who just assume that AI\LLMs make no mistakes.
They were shocked that it's possible for hallucinations to occur. I wonder if there's a halo effect where the perfect grammar, structure, and confidence of LLM output causes some users to assume expertise?
Example:
For over a decade, the freeway on-ramp nearest my work had two main ways of getting to it from downtown. One of them involved a stop-sign crossing a road that had the right-of-way (i.e. a two-way stop). The other had timed traffic signals. Every evening around 5pm, the traffic would backup from the stop-sign for multiple blocks. Meanwhile the route with lights was completely smooth.
Eventually the stop-sign was replaced with a signal, but I marveled at how many people persisted in making their daily commute much worse than it needed to be.
Just search nano banana on Twitter to see the crazy results. An example. https://x.com/D_studioproject/status/1958019251178267111
