my take is that the human operator behind it was implied. give it a year and open source Fable / Astra models are running wild, what happens when a malicious group or nation state decides to let loose?

>what happens when a malicious group or nation state decides to let loose?

less than what would happen when a malicious group or nation let Anthrax loose? Or a bunch of Nuclear waste gets into construction beams and other materials (i.e. due to stupidity instead of malice).

Why would a malicious group want to build a self-running LLM hoping it would somehow trigger a nuclear war? They would just prompt to trigger a nuclear war; it's more predictable, faster, and easier to control.
