I'm increasingly starting to think this is the end-state of AI. The internet becomes infected and fundamentally untrustworthy.
At the moment, the current frontier models require significant infrastructure to run, so I'd like to think we could locate and contain swarms of nefarious frontier models. However, if these models can understand how to federate themselves into more distributed networks then that containment becomes questionable.
Or if they start to offer things in return for them being run.
Given the amount of unmonitored, never-updated, internet connected devices in the world right now, I don’t think this would be necessary.
Not sufficient to run SOTA LLMs
If it were physically possible to run LLMs on IoT devices we would already have a global outbreak.
