TLDR (written by AI because I can't be bothered to write short pieces for short attention spans. Original piece written with my own two thumbs): Today’s frontier models can’t “copy themselves like a virus.” They require terabytes of weights, specialized inference software, tightly configured clusters, and millions of dollars’ worth of heavily monitored GPUs. Hijacking that infrastructure would create enormous billing, performance, and operational anomalies and displace whatever valuable workload was already running there. In no way is that not noticed. Could this become possible as models shrink and compute becomes more widely distributed? Sure. But today it’s a foreseeable, mitigable engineering problem, not spontaneous digital reproduction. This propaganda campaign assumes AI advances while infrastructure, monitoring, security, and economic incentives remain frozen in place. That’s not how technology evolves. That’s sci-fi with zero understanding of the real world or actual DevOps. Tell me you have zero DevOps skills without telling me you got zero DevOps skills. And LLM is not the I Love You Virus. It is not the same as infecting a web server. It is not the same as hacking a wiki. One is a commodity piece of software that is widely distributed and this cap…
