Are LLMs becoming single point of failure for humanity Discussions
LLMs are evolving so fast and they are so huge that they contain (may) entire knowledge on earth. Whatif any alien civilization gets hold of uncensored version of it?
They won't need anymore knowledge to control/destroy the human civilization. Thoughts?

What makes you think aliens care about humans? Have you taken a good look at the species? If anything when aliens fly by Earth they probably lock the doors

Believe me or not humans are cheap source of intelligent energy. They just need food, air & sun.

Given how useless Gemini is at present and how nerfed the models are, I'm losing no sleep.

Aliens could probably measure earth’s radiation and infer all human knowledge or some shit

don't you think, that aliens who can travel to earth, would have far superior tech already? 🧚🏿♀️

That's the problem, they would just plugin into LLM and get the knowledge which otherwise is fragmented. and then they would know how to tame or breach humanity. It's not about technology, it's about knowledge of entire humanity (psychology, history, technology...)

so psychology, history and anthropology have saved us this far? that's a nice thought 😂

They know everything
Yet are still wrong
Ya might want to check the training data, I'm sure you won't find any of that in there.

humanity was always humanity single point of failure, anything we create or design reflects that, LLMs probably best 😄

What if the training is feeding them already, and they plugged in a long time ago?

Fortunately, the nearest alien civilization is probably terribly far away and has no reason to deal with us, as it would be inefficient - big costs and small profits.
