LLMs have certainly made people get really into conspiracy theories. *eyeroll*

The LLMs didn't just off on their own decide to look for hypervisor bugs. Users told it to look for hypervisor bugs. The timing means that multiple users did so at roughly the same time - probably in response to some news of some sort.

... are still idiots and assholes, just with skills upgraded from "none" to "somewhat there, but not too impressive".

Same in the security space. They will never match an expert, but they can get lowish-medium skills and that is already very dangerous because that LLM does not provide them with the clue needed to use those skills responsibly. Eventually we may have to ass an "LLM user" category for the Darwin Awards.

To be fair, you went to war with Iraq due to faked and purposely misinterpreted intel. Not even that well faked either: much of the rest of the world called bullshit.

You did almost nuke various countries, including your own, because Strategic Air Command couldn't tell the difference between jamming and a solar storm, a jumpy guard saw a bear climbing a fence, somebody thought swans were Soviet aircraft, Nixon was a mean drunk, the moon, bombers kept dropping nukes by accident, an AT&T switch failed in Colorado, bomb detectors couldn't tell the difference between a nuclear attack and a power outage, someone accidentally loaded a training scenario onto a NORAD computer, a couple of those NORAD computers had bad chips, etc.

We didn't fire a bunch of competent generals or run them out of office for various political reasons. I'm also extremely at ease because we didn't put a secretary of defense in, excuse me Secretary of war, solely because he was the only candidate who would not rule out ordering the US army to fire on American citizens.

It is possible to put laws into place that require how public-private partnerships work.

The laws in question should just straight up be the transitive property. Any paid agent of government should be restrained by all of the restraints on government, plain and simple.

If a police chief "stood in front of a city council and asked for permission to install hundreds of cameras just so his officers could investigate the high crime of 'haha,' they would be laughed out of the room," argues the EFF blog post, calling this proof that agencies can't be trusted to oversee themselves.

Don't be so stupid. Don't confuse what officers put in an unrequited field on a form with actual, legal reason.

The field, based on the summery was not required to be filled-in since many users left the field blank and still their search happened.

I think you're forgetting that, if that search leads to the car being pulled over, then to a search of the car, and they find a dead body in the trunk, the way the concept of the fruit of the poison tree is supposed to work someone could get away with murder for that "haha", etc. The dead body in their trunk and all additional evidence gathered as a result of that too could potentially become inadmissible leaving the prosecution with an obvious murder, but no evidence. The police are supposed to take their work - including the paperwork part of it - seriously.
