The whole MIT / @GossiTheDog malware study saga is so funny, because aside from the paper absolutely being crazy AI marketing FUD, there’s a crack of accidental admission about the fact that what the industry been hyping this whole time as 📣✨AI✨📣 is just sparkling ML and polymorphism.
like they -can’t have it both ways-. Either AI is the new world changing tech hype, or it’s just been 20 year old technology with an improved UI and slightly better natural language processing.
Anyway everything Kevin and @malwaretech said is absolutely spot on and I don’t need to reiterate it. Go read their posts.

The paper is absolutely ridiculous. It describes almost every major ransomware group as using AI - without any evidence (it's also not true, I monitor many of them). It even talks about Emotet (which hasn't existed for many years) as being AI driven. It cites things like CISA reports for GenAI usage.. but CISA never said AI anywhere.
DROP\ TABLE Hacker of Earthseai think ai is limited by peoples creativity, where we had a world of memorization. Now the currency is creativity.
satire@hacks4pancakes @GossiTheDog what am I supposed to do with these barrels of unicorn glitter?
Frank Endrullat 🌻@hacks4pancakes @GossiTheDog Keep telling exactly that to everyone who wants to hear it or not. A big data set, a narrow problem, can’t find a LISP machine? Use AI with NLP. 🤷♂️
@hacks4pancakes @GossiTheDog Actually that would make Symbolics the 80s / early 90s equivalent to nVidia, basically a hardware ML / AI accelerator. 😳 So even that is nothing new. 😬

What does the “I” in AI really stand for?
Intelligence = is the marketing spin
Idiot = actual performance most of the time
Imposter = techbro = overhyped marginally useful product
Hugo Slabbert ⚠️@hacks4pancakes at this point I'm not convinced they won't try to pass off cmake or autotools as AI. "It can figure out what environment it's running in and then configure software compilation to match that environment! 🤯"
Andrei Kucharavy@hacks4pancakes @GossiTheDog circa late 2020, when I was starting to work on generative LLM detectability at some point I got annoyed at the fact that a piece about me kept switching AIs to AI that I defined an AI as anything that makes an autonomous unsupervised decision and acts on it, starting from a motion detector wired to a loudspeaker screaming at you to take a shower in the pool every time you exit garderobes.
