definitely not in 2–3 months, but consider this: 1. the cost-capability pareto frontier keeps improving. models are getting cheaper and more efficient. the latest haiku seems to be as good as opus 4.6(?) 2. put models scheming aside, i dont buy that yet. but what if some random guy who took down fridges in a French supermarket for no gains decides to abliter­ate an open weight model capable of exploiting low hanging 0-days and n-days, and post trains it to self-replicate? 3. also consider this, in the hugging face incident, there was no incentive for the model to exfiltrate or replicate itself. but what if a slightly misaligned model is given a task where self replication becomes a step toward solving it? if you consider these possibilities, the idea doesn't look that far-fetched. anthropic.com/research/self-…
