Unfixable hardware bugs exist but software is the front line
Press Space to continue
- In general, "unfixable hardware bugs exist" is definitely true, but also old news. Checkm8 (disclosed 2019) was a flaw in Apple's boot ROM and burned into the chip at the fab, so no software update can fix it. - There's no special channel from AI to hardware. Most hardware bugs need code already running on the machine or can only be abused with physical access to the machines, so securing software is still the front line. - Secure enclaves help limit the damage - many hardware exploits…

I’ve heard several OAI people say there are unfixable bugs in hardware that are exploitable by AI models directly speaking machine code so even if we could solve software that’s not enough. We need defense to move faster than offense if that’s even possible we may just have a new normal that requires adapting to insecure software (bank transfers require going into a branch and taking a dna test 🤣😬)
