AI software can't technically kill you unless:

  1. It convinces someone who can kill you, to you know, kill you.
  2. It gets access to the physical world, which can definitely kill you.

Oh, wait.

  2. Anthropic Previewing the Model Hardware Standard: https://www.anthropic.com/news/model-hardware-standard-research-preview

See, nothing to worry about.

There's all the people that allow them shell access as well. That's all the OpenAI "hack" of Hugging face was. A bash shell with a model attached. Now think of all the people running that inside of security perimeters.
