Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

So, you know LLM has a context window right? That means context overflow is a valid LLM attack strategy if you are somehow able to send more stuff than what is allowed.

Nothing? I'm pointing out another way to "attack" some LLM?

Probably would have been easier when the context window wasn't 128k.

Though what the point would be should someone actually achieve that eludes me a bit.

I don't know man. Maybe a chat bot for help center that forgot they shouldn't give refund or non existent promotion?

I have LLMs translate novels, I can tell when they run over the window because they forget characters' gender half way through, things like that. Lots of legal documents are even longer, maybe.
