> Computation Warfare: This kind of model could be used by a bad actor to generate endless sincere-looking codebases for things that of course don't actually work but are so complicated that it would take a skilled person to determine it was not code from a real codebase, but by the time that happens large numbers of repositories of code will flood github and the internet in general making it essentially impossible to train new LLM's on data after a certain calendar date, as large amounts of it will be cryptically incomplete.
That's actually a pretty good plan for coders who want to keep their jobs. (I still remember the time I was talking to some guy at CERN about a type system I was working on and he was so pissed with me because he was convinced it would eliminate jobs.)
