The fear I have isn't an AI doing things by itself, but being good enough so that if Joe Evil gets his hands on the AI, he can single-handedly (with AI help) break into secure databases, or something.
You know how a lot of us on HN talk about how security is just a latent concern for companies, but luckily there aren't enough hackers to take advantage of the massive number of bugs in every bit of code ever written? Well, a future powerful coding AI running on second-hand Etherium mining rigs in some extremist's basement in Chicago can probably do a lot more damage than a handful of state sponsored hackers in Russian and North Korea!

- sebzim4500 4y agoSurely some guy in his basement will have access to far worse models than the people he is trying to attack. If the AI can be used for offense it can be used for defence, especially since when used for defence you can give the AI access to code/design docs which make finding exploits much easier.
