    Oh that’s why an hacker managed to phish them 680 times to get all details on his victims. Passports. Documents, transactions, and so on: the hacker pretended to be an Italian police officer and asked to get info on millionaires, an LLM believed that without question 680 separate times. cybersecuritynews.com/revolut-data-breach/

  • If AI isnʻt going to go away, it needs to be cheap, sustainable, open source, and self hosted/ hostable.

    About time this hit enterprise. Been saying the downfall of OpenAI and Anthropic will be local models that can accomplish the same thing without needing a dstacenter worth of GPUs to run. Plus you have no total token limit on self hosted models. You can let a slop agent run for weeks without ballooning costs or getting rate limited. And no model censoring, so you can go build that nuclear bomb you always wanted lol. Both AI giants are already losing a ton of money because their pricing isn’t viable for the amount of training they’re doing trying to be on top. If they readjust, they’re gonna suffocate against much cheaper solutions.
