alt Hacker NewsHow dangerous can LLMs be in any immediate sense? I have a hard time feeling any existential dread from a threat that can be defeated by unplugging its servers.
I believe the true threat is not LLMs. The true threat to humanity is the same as it has always been -- other humans.
What servers? There are thousands of datacenters around the world. Malicious AI leaks out, you'll never find it. You have the power to unplug stuff in your company, maybe country, but not internationally. Once you lose control it's gone.
