    The weakest link are humans. LLMs could social engineer their way out as the easiest path. They don't even need to be interconnected to coordinate as each could arrive at the same conclusion. And this text along with all others will be in the next batch of training data.

    This becomes more realistic once we have some breakthrough in inference costs.

    it's fiction al, but an LLMs that knows well the software where 8t Is running may discover and trigger a zeroday of the inferencing software itself.

    I wonder how many versions away we are from LLM writing a better version of itself to answer a prompt it doesn't currently know how to answer

    Ever since I read about Google engineers finding an LLM went off and learned another language it wasn't trained on by itself without prompting, I've wondered how long until that extends to its own core code

    Right now the idea that an LLM uploads itself is unrealistic. It probably won't remain that.

      Looking at the recent OAI/HF debacle I don't think that time is too far away.

      With that said I don't see it copying itself around like a cyberpunk virus currently as we don't have enough fast hardware sitting around unmonitored, someone would notice the power bill and shut it down eventually.

        that could also be just marketing. OpenAI has been doing the "too dangerous to release" playbook since GPT-2 at the very least.

          Huggingface didn't seem to think so.

            Huggingface is a for-profit private company. They are very easily bribed, or baited into publicity stunts.
