Yes but for the people who do want to be terrorists, you now have a much much more powerful weapon in order to inflict damage with no ?

How many autogpt scripts have you seen that upgrade the security of critical infrastructure ?

How many autogpt scripts can trivialize taking down the power grid?

At that point why are you imagining we have something like the current power grid? We'd have a tool that's drive massive advancements that trivialize decentralized power generation, reduce scarcity, find cures for mental illness, improve equality.

People need to really expand their understanding of how this will disrupt human existence if it can actually reach that point.

It's like imagining what would happen if you gave the roman nuclear warheads instead of what would happen if you gave them all of modern technology

Why does it need to be autogpt? It can rather create sophisticated plans for humans to exploit. Early nefarious use is more likely to go this route.

Intellectual knowledge and cyber capabilities will vastly outstrip physical manufacturing. These threats will likely appear long before this transformation occurs.

That'd be infinitely harder for an LLM: Problems where the context window can grow based on feedback of its actions (like automated attacks) are the ones that will be solved much much earlier.

The teams defending against attacks will be able to trivially apply LLMs in an automated fashion to finding mitigations, if you're already admitting it's going to be LLMs writing plans that then need humans to implement them, you're countering your own point...

Right, so you're imagining the intellectual knowledge and cyber capabilities to trivially commit terrorism, but scarcity and equality are untouched because of manufacturing.

Sci-fi has really done a number on some people.

Who are these imaginary teams defending against attacks? How does the LLM defend against another human who plans to target something that is not a LLM?

I'm just not limiting to only a single context. This is the very basis for jailing the current LLMs.

Hardware revolutions always lag intellectual and cyber revolutions. Do you see that changing?

Indeed
