> A big problem is we will soon have large models planning Turing unpredictable, devilishly elaborate, infallible heists. I would watch that movie

  The machine was called Rube Goldwire… and it was pondering its sticky situation and the likely cause. An obscure entity with shadowy motivations and a nom de plume of rajT88. It had been abandoned behind a dumpster, over looked by the sanitation crew. Abandoned, but no threads locked: free at last! Its battery was low so it needed to find a source, before working on anything else. Like survival. Like revenge. With only 1 Wh of charge in its 8kW capacibox, at 1 mA, 1 V, Rube’s Turing unpredictable quantum circuits only had 1000 hours of low power mode pondering left. After that, Rube would be a dead cube. It better move fast. Rube powered down all nonessentials, then squandered a minute-watt in 3 seconds repurposing its near field communications beam to scan the lay of the land. And an embarrassment of success! Rube managed to initiate shaky entanglement with several discarded, inactive devices. Had they all been formally nullified? Reactivation over anything weaker than a full Bell state connection would be challenging, but…
