How stupid can a company be to give that much access to an LLM?

The typical science fiction doomsday AI scenarios always assume an intelligent AI. If the current trend continues humanity's last conversation will end something like this:

"You are absolutely right, I should not have used the nuclear launch codes president Trump entrusted me with to bomb every country on earth.

If you want, I can help you come up with a list of fun activities to do in a bunker."

While I agree with the first sentence, I am curious how you came to the conclusion that this "joke" is misogynistic.

You could replace Hillary Clinton with a male public figure (i.e. Bill Clinton) and it would work just as well.

The pope represents a misogynistic organization, but he is barely relevant in this joke.

Is it related to Hillary Clinton in general getting more negative comments/jokes/etc. because she is a woman?

Is there something in the text that I am missing completely here?

The typical example is Shor's algorithm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm

It allows to efficiently find the prime factors of an integer - a problem without a known polynomial algorithm on a classical computer.

This would directly break RSA encryption, as it relies on factorisation being difficult.

However, there are encryption algorithms that are considered safe even against a quantum computer.
