There are people already using LLMs to create "self healing" programs. That's already an important quality of an effective virus. I'm not sure what it does from there. It could find vulnerable APIs (like connected cars) and exploit them.
I personally mostly agree with you, and I don't understand how a smart person is worried about LLMs breaking lose rather than LLMs becoming tools of disinformation. One of happening now and the other isn't.
- bko 4y agoThe self healing programs are self contained though and important for research. Unless you can put it on some distributed compute cluster that's free and uncontrolled but i don't think that exists yet. Theoretically if Blockchain technology advanced to do this and everything could be done without a bank account i still don't see the risk. LLMs def could make it easier to spread disinformation but it's neutral to the info it's spreading so it could equally be used to combat it. It's kind of like encryption that could be used to spread illegal content but is outweighed by things like secure payments and general privacy.
