Patching PHP? Have a puppy interlude ❤️🥰

Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.

Good lessons learned here - have access to daybreak blue or others as a precaution and also have your own open weight infrastructure to handle. Secondly - if doing good cyber security practices - shouldn’t need models to battle models, although time wise - incorporating them into what you do via response is much faster than manual approaches Not saying they don’t have good security controls - have no idea - but lots of this is alleviated by doing these types of preps in advance versus after or during.

Ben Affleck says AI is simply matrix multiplication, linear algebra and floating point calculations, and however convincingly it sounds like a person, it has nothing to do with thought, humanity or feeling “Nor do I believe, and I think it’s important to draw the distinction between what AI does, which is simply predict the next token or the next word in a sentence, then add that word on, run it back to the machine, do a lot of computation and pick the next word." "That is a very different thing than sentience or thought. And I think we need to be really clear about that because it can be convincingly, in an illusory way, sound like thought or like a person." "But let’s be real clear. This is matrix multiplication. This is linear algebra. These are floating point calculations. It has nothing to do with thought, humanity, or feeling.”
