Anthropic warns of self-replicating AI worm threat that doesn't need data centers to self-improve and spread

If you’ve ever run models that fit onto consumer hardware you know they’re so full of shit. General purpose models that can run on $3000+ computers can barely do useful things in a reasonable amount of time. And this clown expects us to believe the meager hardware in a smart oven will be able to run a self replicating AI model?
Fuck all the way off.

Specialized ones can be much smaller

If all it needs to do is basic network fracking and cross-platform polymorphism, it’s reasonable to think that a local AI could propagate on a vulnerable network. It might not be lightning fast, it only needs to be persistent in finding vulns in a local network and exploiting them.
