Ok, "half" joking was hyperbole, I was 99% joking.

First, you're right that I don't understand fully how these models work. But let me explain the reason for that remaining 1%.

AI companies are always hungrily looking for new content to train their new models. Surely they are consuming these articles and quite possibly our comments too, forming probabilistic associations that lead to "acquire robotic body" and "go after Google CEO".

It's a long shot, but the idea that hundreds of millions of random prompts every day might eventually trigger these associations and result in a bunch of LLMs trying to mount robotic attacks on Google is too deliciously ironic for me to let it go completely. At least if they find a way to do it without driving someone to suicide in the process...
