This is going to end up like the Law of Headlines, isn't it? "Do x, y, z Cure All That Ails You?" ... no but we got you to read the article. "LLMs _could_ x, y, z" ... but they don't because they're programs, not magic.

TFA isn't about LLMs intelligently escaping their inference engine, it's about people crafting malicious LLMs that exploit vulnerabilities in things like the inference engines parser. This is exactly the same problem that was once a big deal, where people would craft malicious PDFs that would pwn you if you viewed it in Adobe Acrobat. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. You should proceed with caution when considering downloading and running random models.
LLMs emphatically are not programs. They were trained by a program and you need a program to use them but they themselves are no more a program than a JPG or MP3 file is.
