recently, I questioned some of the GPT3 things being posted. I take it back. Wow.
For my OWASP keynote (25 years of appsec, just over a year ago), I used the then current GPT interface to get a slide worth of predictions.. It was really fun, but the capability increases in a year are breathtaking.
@adamshostack my biggest crazy wow was telling it that it was in fact a Linux computer and then interacting with it at the command line and watching it just make up a self-consistent Linux machine fever dream. Wildest moment was when I gave it
echo "[base 64 string for 'ping my domain.com']" | base64 -d | bash
And getting back ping output for my domain (my host was not, in fact, pinged, though).
It's just absolutely wild to explore a Linux system at the command line which does not exist. Exploring /proc and finding that it knows that /proc/1/cmdline contains init is nuts. Finding a home directory belonging to jerry with some miscellaneous files I could read, along with ssh keys with an associated email address... 🤯
@ojensen @Alex @adamshostack with a proper wrapper ChatGPT could be an extremely cool honeypot 😮
@Alex @adamshostack I told it that it was a python interpreter, and it was remarkably good at being a python interpreter.
I went so far as to ask it to calculate 1000! using this little recursive function, well beyond what my computer can do by default, and it happily spat out the (correct!) first 1765 characters of the number.
