Well, yeah, but then you need
to provide, transport, and control those.
The difference here is these are the sorts of robots that are likely to already be present somewhere that could then be abused for nefarious deeds.
I assume the mitigation strategy here is physical sensors and separate out of loop processes that will physically disable the robot in some capacity if it exceeds some bound.
- mannykannot 2y agoI agree, and just in case someone is thinking that your last paragraph implies that there is nothing new to be concerned about here, I will point out that there are already concerns over "dumb" critical infrastructure being connected to the internet. Risk identification and explication is a necessary (though unfortunately not sufficient) prerequisite for effective risk avoidance and mitigation.
- cube00 2y agoThe bounds of a kill bot would be necessarily wide.
- nkrisc 2y agoMaybe making kill bots is a bad idea then. But what do I know?

- nkrisc 2y agoInstruct one LLM to achieve its instructions by any means necessary, and instruct the other to stymie the first by any means necessary.
