I wonder if that’s why my reply countered that idea. The replies to my reply either prove it’s not crazy or they prove it is entirely crazy for that to happen. Food for thought.
But all the replies to me keep ignoring the question, why would an exec rely on an Llm to achieve that goal when they can simply fire them for whatever reason they can make up? Why would the exec trust what an Llm is…emailing(?) them about? Do they listen to Nigerian Princes too?
It is much less effort, less cost, and more quick to just have the exec do it rather than a “rogue llm” “magically” escaping the “sandbox” and “sending threats” or whatever is being proposed in the OG comment.

If the exec wanted to, sure. I'm saying they don't need to. No human needs to have (deliberately, before events proceeded) chosen this outcome.
> Why would the exec trust what an Llm is…emailing(?) them about? Do they listen to Nigerian Princes too?
Sadly, this would not be out of character for half of them.
> “magically”
Why do people keep putting this word in scare quotes? We don't say Windows "magically" crashed and lost our work, we don't say a dog "magically" bit the postman's hand. These are bad things, but magic they are not.

Sorry, this is just a very basic reading comprehension fail.
The original comment was:
> "Wouldn't it be crazy if we find out that a rogue swarm of LLMs figured out a way to get these safety researchers fired because it decided they were a threat?"
Nothing to do with "an exec".
Now, you have two choices: try harder to defend your mistake, or just say oops, I messed up. That choice will say a lot about who you are as a person.
