A new ripoff of an old classic
Is it a ripoff if they credit the original?
Are you implying that the credit is here? If so, where? I am not seeing it.
Lower right corner.
I honestly didn't notice that - it was a bit small and pixelated, good catch
Thanks!:-)

if they make it almost exactly the same and “credit” it in the smallest font possible and didn’t get permission from the original author… i would say that’s definitely a ripoff
didn't get permission from the original author
Tell me you don't know xkcd without saying you don't know xkcd. These comics are licensed as CC-BY-NC 2.5, which means you are allowed to remix and use them, without explicitly asking for permission, as long as you attribute the original/author (which is given here) and as long as you do it non-commercially (which is given for this post IMHO).

In a version that doesn’t even fully make sense. With databases there is a well-defined way to sanitize your inputs so arbitrary commands can’t be run like in the xkcd comic. But with AI it’s not even clear how to avoid all of these kinds of problems, so the chiding at the end doesn’t really make sense. If anything the person should be saying “I hope you learned not to use AI for this”.

My gawds, some people need to learn what's a homage and also stop being upset on behalf of others. This comic is fine, stop bellyaching. This is what terminal permission culture does to a motherfucker.
The only person who should care about anything other than the quality is Randall. However since he licensed it CC BY-NC 2.5 how he feels about it doesn't really matter either.
I think people should be concerned about things on others' behalfs. We all need to stick together.
This situation is a send-up though. Totally not a concern.
Oh definitely! I just meant in this particular case.
We can probably infer by the licensing that he's cool with it.
if someone is actually using ai to grade papers I'm gonna LITERALLY drink water
I'm gonna literally drink water if they DON'T
I'm drinking water as we speak and none of you can stop me!
As a large languag model I do not drink water

remake of a classic
Little Bobby Tables
More like "And I hope you learned not to trust the wellbeing and education of the children entrusted to you to a program that's not capable of doing either."
Well that would require too much work invested into stealing of https://xkcd.com/327/
It could be credibly called an homage if it had a new punchline, but methinks the creator didn't know what "sanitize" meant in this context.
Stealing is a strong word considering it gives credit in the bottom right

Bobby's son
It was in fact the mum who was good with computers. Bobby himself was never that interested in exploits.
He probably found it very hard to make any accounts on computers
Its a MEH update on little bobby tables. Who is in his twenties now.
It's his younger brother Williams, tho.
Reminds me of: https://www.wired.com/story/null-license-plate-landed-one-hacker-ticket-hell/
A guy thought it would be funny to change his license plate to NULL.
So to combat our horrible privacy culture we should name everything null...
hi my name is null, null.

LLM system input is unsanitizable, according to NVidia:
The control-data plane confusion inherent in current LLMs means that prompt injection attacks are common, cannot be effectively mitigated, and enable malicious users to take control of the LLM and force it to produce arbitrary malicious outputs with a very high likelihood of success.

One of the best things ever about LLMs is how you can give them absolute bullshit textual garbage and they can parse it with a huge level of accuracy.
Some random chunks of html tables, output a csv and convert those values from imperial to metric.
Fragments of a python script and ask it to finish the function and create a readme to explain the purpose of the function. And while it's at it recreate the missing functions.
Copy paste of a multilingual website with tons of formatting and spelling errors. Ask it to fix it. Boom done.
Of course, the problem here is that developers can no longer clean their inputs as well and are encouraged to send that crappy input straight along to the LLM for processing.
There's definitely going to be a whole new wave of injection style attacks where people figure out how to reverse engineer AI company magic.

How do you sanitize ai prompts? With more prompts?
Easy, you just have a human worker strip out anything that could be problematic, and try not to bring it up around your investors.
It's really easy, just throw an error if you detect a program will cause a halt. I don't know why these engineers refuse to just patch it.
