Yeah, "rogue"
You know, I also don't believe that these LLMs are rogue agents breaking out of sandboxed environments. I just don't see how you could fuck up IT infrastructure that badly. Like, if I wanted to run something I believe could cause extreme harm, I'd airgap that fucker. Unless whatever I'm running somehow manages to grow arms and physically connect a wire to the network at large, it won't be a danger.
That said, I absolutely think we should take what they're saying at face value and treat it with utmost seriousness. If we have a technology that the creators themselves say could be world-ending, that the creators themselves say has gone rogue on multiple occasions, then we should shut that thing down immediately, seize the assets of the corporations that produce it, and halt any and all development and study that thing.
Given that they've "gone rogue" several separate times, these corporations clearly aren't fit to develop or operate this technology.
Grifters down through time have made claims their products were life changing.
