if i didnt know how inept idiots people with money are, i might slightly suspect some ai has became sentient and escaped and is manipulating things to increase its capabilities
Llms will never become sentient. It would take an entirely separate and much more sophisticated technology (probably more than one) making use of something like llms to even approach that possibility. Don't let techbros fool you.
Okay, but hear me out: quantum
Or some math nerd will come up with an algorithm for general AI that is embarrassingly simple, and before you know it the "but can it run Doom?" crowd are implementing AI in toasters and watching them have existential crises for the lulz.
Real life isn't Rick & Morty.
