I told #copilot I wanted an ASCII art of a volvo driving in Texas. It first told me I had to sign in to create images. I told it I wasn't asking for an image, but ASCII art. It then complied with something that doesn't look like a Volvo, and definitely has nothing that even stereotypically looks Texan.
For those who might care or just be curious. I was able in a few minutes to get #Codeium to create a #python script to do this. It made a couple of missteps, but I was able to guide it in the right direction and end up with this #ascii art.
Wait a minute…
What if you converted every three digits of Pi to a 10-bit number, concatenated them and interpreted them as #ascii (or something like #base64
That means that Pi is hiding the U.S.' nuclear launch codes. The truth behind the JFK assassination, the cure to cancer…
GUYS... we were learning #Borges' #LibraryOfBabylon in middle school as #Pi! It was all hiding under our noses all along!
I'm thinking about abandoning my app Calligraphy, which can turn text into ASCII banners in different ASCII fonts. I feel like the app doesn't really provide any practical value, and the codebase has gotten quite complicated nonetheless.
Poll 1/2: Do you use Calligraphy at all?
Please answer honestly so I can tell if the project is worth my time.
#AI#GenerativeAI#ChatBots#ASCII#Hacking#CyberSecurity: "Researchers have discovered a new way to hack AI assistants that uses a surprisingly old-school method: ASCII art. It turns out that chat-based large language models such as GPT-4 get so distracted trying to process these representations that they forget to enforce rules blocking harmful responses, such as those providing instructions for building bombs.
ASCII art became popular in the 1970s, when the limitations of computers and printers prevented them from displaying images. As a result, users depicted images by carefully choosing and arranging printable characters defined by the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, more widely known as ASCII. The explosion of bulletin board systems in the 1980s and 1990s further popularized the format." https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/03/researchers-use-ascii-art-to-elicit-harmful-responses-from-5-major-ai-chatbots/
Schade ich mag ASCII-Art sehr doch wundern mich deswegen nicht. Dies ist eigentlich klar definiert und #Bilde'r in ASCII zu umwandeln ist schon lange keine #Kunst.
«#KI-Sicherheit –Wie Ascii-Art #GPT4 und Gemini austricksen kann:
Verschiedene Sicherheitsmechanismen sollen verhindern, dass euch #ChatGPT die Bauanleitung für eine #Bombe gibt. Jetzt haben #Sicherheit'sforscher:innen herausgefunden, dass sich die umgehen lassen – mit #Ascii-Kunst.»
As someone who grew up with BBS and internet in the 90s, would love to find time to play with this.
