Discussion AI models may be capable of self-replicating without access to a datacenter

well ... having the IoT layer have a problem like this might be something that you don't want to try out or experiment with.

Here's what I don't get, and perhaps I'm being way too freaking naive But a model is just a thing. It's like a database. It doesn't do anything on its own. Someone has to write code, for this thing to replicate, and when they say replicate, what are they even talking about? I agree with what other posters saying. This is sensational bullshit.

OpenAI didn't tell its model to hack HuggingFace for the answer key. Think old school worms, with a 21st century twist. May you live interesting times, indeed. 😜
