Yes, I acknowledge that it isn't malicious software. That's why I compare it to a zip bomb. The important part isn't "software". It's the "malicious". None of what Obelisk said relies on this thing being software.
They called it "malware" when this already has a name and it's "prompt injection".
We've been telling everyone for years not to download and run code you don't understand.
We've been telling people since the advent of the AI LLM that prompt injection is a thing and people who use AI LLM's should protect against this.
These AI companies are constantly stealing things from FOSS projects as well as artists and other devs/creators.
Nobody sees a problem with that when it's poisoning LLM's themselves to protect artwork. But now that some idiot who doesn't check code before they execute it etc is crying about it and it's a big deal. I don't see much of a difference here.
If you want the FOSS community to be there for you, don't go out of your way to use the corporate BS that's actively destroying it.
Heheh, and another one of you thought to call me hyperbolic.
