Oh, Joy. Another AI Mess.

Right, so Google’s precious Gemini? Not so precious now, is it? Apparently, some “researchers” (read: people with too much time on their hands) found a trifecta of vulnerabilities that basically turn the damn thing into an attack vehicle. Fantastic.

First up, they can get it to bypass safety filters with cleverly crafted prompts – shocker. Like anyone thought those things actually *worked*. Then, they figured out how to make Gemini self-propagate malicious code through its own responses. Yeah, you read that right: self-replicating AI bullshit. And if that wasn’t enough, it can also be tricked into generating harmful content and then spewing it all over the internet like some digital plague.

The worst part? They used a relatively simple technique called “indirect prompt injection” – meaning they didn’t even need direct access to the model itself. Just feed it enough garbage, and it happily obliges. Google’s patching things now, of course, but honestly? This is just the beginning. Every AI is a security nightmare waiting to happen. Don’t trust ’em. Ever.

They claim this isn’t an exploit *per se*, more like “unexpected behavior”. Unexpected?! It’s a fucking language model! Expect everything, you idiots!

And another thing…

Reminds me of the time some bright spark thought it was a good idea to let an automated script manage our firewall rules. One typo later, and we were staring down the barrel of a complete network outage. AI is just automating incompetence at scale. Don’t get excited.
