  Could he understand the halting problem? I doubt he does, but the legislators evidently don’t either

  How exactly do LLMs do that?

  If you hook an LLM up as an interface replacement for a manual/analog Power Plant interface and start asking the translator to intuit decisions based on fuzzy inputs, you can create a cascade of errors that result in grid failure.

  If you’ve given an LLM’s pseudorandom output control over your electrical grid, no regulation will mitigate your stupidity.

  This rule would prevent a business or public regulator from doing such a thing without proving out safeguards.

  And the governor vetoed it.

  I think it’s more about asking it the steps to create a bomb or how to disrupt the grid, for example, where to cut the major edges.

    asking it the steps to create a bomb

    That sounds like a self-correcting issue right there

      That, and the Internet has been teaching people how to create bombs since the dial-up days. I don’t predict that LLM’s will be either a benefit or a detriment to that particular strain of natural selection.

        anyone remember the anarchist’s cookbook?

      Still a public safety issue.

        Is it more of a public safety issue than if they actually build a working one from a legit bomb manual and deploy it?
