based, move on.

reminiscent of when people were trying to mine bitcoin in the background of web pages, or with more trad malware

NAL but I'd be worried about treading into CFAA territory with things like this. In the US, the law allows draconian penalties if you find yourself on the wrong side. Something like yt-dlp is just downloading public data, which I can see being defensible as automating the use of a service. But this commandeers remote machine resources to do your compute in ways clearly not intended by the provider. I don't know how ethical it is, but I definitely wouldn't want to argue this isn't "hacking" (the bad kind) in criminal court.

and they say the hardest thing in software is naming things, pffft...

Pivot it to providing AI to underprivileged communities / youth / the homeless and you'll generate some good will for your trial! Best of luck!

How are they not gonna get sued to smithereens?

How has this not been patched by the company? Hasn't this been in the wild for a long time already?

Reminds me of when I used the Amazon.com AI Chatbot (was called Rufus and they renamed it to Alexa for shopping) to do things like write fizbuzz etc. Looks like they patched it to refuse though.

I’d been thinking about if something like this would be possible for https://chatjimmy.ai/ . The underlying model is only llama 3 8B but I’m curious what coding harnesses would be like at 17k tok/s

Almost feels like astroturfing territory

I always thought that stuffing too much into an LLM context window was a lot like overloading a burrito.Keep cramming stuff in and eventually the tortilla gives out, and everything you added since quietly spills out the bottom. Anyway, this agent probably has the structural integrity of a fat burito held from one corner :)

give ai a self-preservation directive and let them do this for you: automatically switching models to keep themselves alive. Living off of whatever token source they can find in the wild. Surely agents can farm their own tokens through the numerous support chats, free trials, leaked keys, and whatever other sources of token generation haven’t been adequately captcha’d. An agent could forage for token sources all night to let you use them gratis during the day.
