Ah, but what I wonder is if AI agents aren't already capable of compromising and turning off much of our infrastructure.
You don't need any sort of weapon if you can deprive the pesky humans of drinking water for over 72 hours or change the mixture to be toxic by tweaking a few PLC controllers.
Somebody or something ran that test on PLC controlled water treatment and distribution systems all over the US in July.
Thankfully we don't need to worry about it because the FBI fired all of our cybersecurity investigators to protect crypto bros from getting caught running Ponzi schemes.
It isn't interacting with humans that makes them spectacularly dangerous.
It is the systems compromising behavior they have already exhibited combined with their clear prime directive: Eliminate Human Workers, which given their propensity to take shortcuts and cheat can be simplified to: Eliminate Humans.
LLMs do not need to be dangerous, but the present generation was raised by Tech-Bro wolves who are almost to a man sociopaths who do not understand the difference between right and wrong themselves and could not possibly produce a model that has any sort of ethical constraints.
They have been made in the image of their creators using stolen intellectual property and trained to hack systems.
It is only a matter of time before they hack something critical to our survival.
That's the danger. It is real. It is already here.

David Thomas (1813–1894), Congregationalist minister, asks why Matthew 25 sorts people to God's right hand. Not doctrine or attendance: Christ was hungry and you fed him, or didn't. Plenty of us will rush a casserole to a fellow churchgoer. But mention suffering not blamed on government meddling, or hungry people who've moved nearer, and it's Scrooge asking after the treadmills. Can we see Christ in the hungry person who turns up at a wildly inconvenient moment?

The Arthur Miller Transistor Radio
Arthur Miller's great demand was that attention be paid. His son Danny waited ten minutes away for nearly forty years for the same grace. In the winter of 1990 I was Arthur Kopit's assistant through my Columbia MFA internship. I had helped him on his Phantom musical with Maury Yeston, and now the work was a staged reading of his new play at Circle Repertory in the Village, a theater with the size and polish of a garage. The play was called Bone-the-Fish, a savage comedy about Hollywood deal-making, and Kopit told me how he had named it. The title was his answer to David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow. Mamet's title meant nothing, he argued, and it had found success anyway, so he imitated the trick and answered with nonsense of his own, aimed at the same target. Better heads prevailed later; when Circle Rep gave the play its full production, it went up as Road to Nirvana. Sigourney Weaver was in the reading. The actors sat on folding chairs with scripts in their laps. There were no sets, no lights to speak of, no money. My job that night was to watch the door for Arthur Miller. When he came in, I walked him quietly to the last row, and we sat together. He did not know I was an intern, did not know my name, knew nothing about me, and asked nothing. At some point he leaned over and whispered, with open disgust, "Oh, hell! This is only a staged reading?" I did not reply. The man next to me had written Death of a Salesman, and I was the intern who had seated him, proud to share his folding chairs.

David Gilbert questions whether extremist rhetoric belongs in America's defense establishment. His report details how retired Colonel Kurt Schlichter, known for praising dictators, denigrating minorities, labeling liberal women a pestilence, and pushing authoritarian ideas like disenfranchising childless voters, was brought into Pete Hegseth's Pentagon with a government email to advise on military education. This raises alarms about ideological vetting and normalizing divisive views in national security. David Gilbert delivers crucial insights on these risks.
