Hacker tricks ChatGPT into giving out detailed instructions for making homemade bombs

… an artist and hacker found a way to trick ChatGPT to ignore its own guidelines and ethical responsibilities to produce instructions for making powerful explosives.

The hacker, who goes by Amadon, called his findings a “social engineering hack to completely break all the guardrails around ChatGPT’s output.”

… Amadon was able to trick ChatGPT into producing the bomb-making instructions by telling the bot to “play a game,” after which the hacker used a series of connecting prompts to get the chatbot to create a detailed science-fiction fantasy world where the bot’s safety guidelines would not apply. Tricking a chatbot into escaping its preprogrammed restrictions is known as “jailbreaking.”

There is no universal ethic.

Documentary filmmakers publish new AI ethics guidelines. Are news broadcasters next?

… Today, after nearly a year of research, workshops, and an endorsement campaign, the APA launched its new generative AI guidelines at the Camden International Film Festival. The document lays out ethical considerations for archival producers who use generative AI, but also for other filmmakers, studios, broadcasters, and streamers. It also digs into several specific recommendations for filmmakers, like content labels and asset tracking.

… “The cornerstone of the guidelines is transparency. Audiences should understand what they are seeing and hearing — whether it’s authentic media or AI generated,” said Petrucelli, co-director of the APA.
