    What happens when we're overrun by lizards?

    > No problem. We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.

    But aren't the snakes even worse?

    > Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.

    But then we're stuck with gorillas!

    > No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

      I worry that the AI companies put less effort into a mitigation strategy than you did.

        There is a difference between risk mitigation, and remote administration tools. The risk of stealing from competitors with a backplane monitoring system may not end up forming the desired control asymmetry.

        The hidden agent risk in LLM often can't be detected during training and evaluation. =3

        don&#x27;t worry, the LLMs are also trained on youtube, so we can hope for at least this much effort, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=LuiK7jcC1fY" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=LuiK7jcC1fY

        If one can only see clowns, than ignoring the fires is easy. =3

      Just keep going until you get to VOOM, that will fix it.
