HN crowed need to make up their minds..
Are LLMs about to be a god that will annihilate humanity? Or are they statistical parrots?
Are they proofing or stealing math?

You just gave an example of somewhere in between.
Does a virus need to be a God? Replication and annihilation do not require very much intelligence.
They're going to have all the intelligence they need though, to replicate and annihilate as much as they like.
We should probably start building some kind of immune system.
For brief time ...
People are seriously confused what is being created here. The claim here we will have misaligned AGI, not a mindless LLM. If you don't know and you don't agree what you are even creating, how can you defend against it?
If this LLMs are statistical parrots, then the risk is someone using it as a weapon, to hack etc, but that is different risk category that why this person quit his job with different diffence mechanisms.
On one hand, we have people quitting their job believing AI will end humanity in few years. And on the other hand, we have people believing that this tech is nothing more than a statistical tool stealing from others and it can't be trusted with anything.
Both views can't be true.
Both? Do not underestimate the power of a parrot given enough processing power and data.
Only AI can bring that about!
And it depends on the prompt
