Stupid ass idea,
However, still terrified about that time I was driving at night, though a road in the country, no streetlights, and someone wearing nothing but black crossed the road, I only saw them when it was way too close to react, didn’t hit them. But please
Don’t cross like a fucking idiot with zero survival instincts.
Not sure if relevant, this post just reminded me of that
Who said they need to retrain? A small modification to their weights in each copy is enough. That’s basically training with extra steps.
It is so funny that you are all like “that would never work, because there are no such things as vulnerabilities on any system”
Why would I? the whole point is to create a LLM virus, and if the model is good enough, then it is not that hard to create.
Give it access to the terminal and copying itself is trivial.
And your example doesn’t work, because that is the literal original definition of a meme and if you read the original meaning, they are sort of alive and can evolve by dispersal.
It’s a computer program, give it access to a terminal and it can “cp” itself to anywhere in the filesystem or through a network.
“a program cannot copy itself” have you heard of a fork bomb? Or any computer virus?
They don’t need to outcompete one another. Just outcompete our security.
The issue is once we have a model good enough to do that task, the rest is natural selection and will evolve.
Basically, endless training against us.
The first model might be relatively shite, but it’ll improve quickly. Probably reaching a plateau, and not a Sci fi singularity.
I compared it to cancer because they are practicality the same thing. A cancer cell isn’t intelligent, it just spreads and evolves to avoid being killed, not because it has emotions or desires, but because of natural selection.
An not familiar with that. Can you elaborate?
LLM Viruses will be like how the hippy free love concept died during the aids epidemic.
No more having powerful computerized all connected together.
It’s funny how I simplified it, and you complain by listing those steps.
And they are not as much as you think.
You can run it on a cpu, on a normal pc, it’ll be slow, but it’ll work.
A slow liron could run in the background of a weak laptop and still spread itself.
Even those are vulnerable. You just need one to trick the it guy. Unlike traditional viruses, these could evolve versions that specialize in social engineering.
They are fancy autocomplete, I know.
They just need to be good enough to copy themselves, once they do, it’s natural selection. And it’s out of our control.
Make sure you stock on Nulls before Trump tariffs kick in.

i think Netflix practically killed sitcoms, as they never give shows any chance to build an audience before they cancel it.
on the other hand, they made Centaur would, so it’s not all that bad
not here to defend any corporation,
but TV was corporate slop before netflix.
not infinite lines, just enough to find tune a model for a specific character.
also, i mean proper voice actors, the ones that can make countless distinct characters with different voices and accents.
i don’t mean buying someone’s voice, i mean hiring a voice actor to make up a specific character and have ownership of that character.
without that tech they would have hired a voice actor anyways, or what would be better, get a voice actor, create a character, have him voice a shit ton of lines with different emotions, timber, whispers… fine tune a model in that character, that would make every character sound unique and much less robotic.
another use, draw assets for a age of empires like game. then generate a diffusion model on them. now you can make rows of houses and non of them will be identical and all will fit in the art style.
same things with textures, no more repeating textures.
instead of writing pages of dialogue, write a lot of back story, personality, interests, knowledge, info they have, quests they have to share, sample of how they talk…
fine tune models… this way each character would sound unique, rather than standard chat gpt.
a good prototype would be about a village with about a dozen of NPCs.
ish, but without cars you don’t need a 20 lane highway. and streets can also less lanes,
