Go on please, prove you can go right now at the Texas data-center owned by OpenAI and unplug one single server for 1 minute. Surely you are much more capable than one curious toddler.
I'm a bit confused, when did we escalate from a curious toddler to a ballistic missile strike? Why didn't Iran send a curious toddler? It's much cheaper.
The use of the phrase "curious toddler" is called a metaphor[0], which is a figure of speech[1] used to make writing more interesting.
I apologize for the confusion that caused you to interpret this as a literal, physical, toddler. To restate the point with more straightforward language: it is very easy to disrupt the operation of large language models, because they require computer hardware in stable environments with a large amount of electrical power, and function within an operating system. I have not seen any evidence LLMs are immune to things such as: `kill -9`, `sudo reboot now`, physically unplugging the machine(s) on which they are running, or in the case of the AWS data center, collateral damage during a real-world conflict.
We are talking about a humans vs AI scenario. There are probably thousands of humans in the world right now that could do exactly that right now if they wanted to (datacenter and OpenAI employees, power grid workers).
Are you assuming that the humans are all unanimously aligned against the AI in this scenario? That sounds like the hard part. How does that happen? Does the AI announce its evil plans like a movie villain?
Until then, it's the job of the power grid workers to keep the power running, and shutting down the datacenters would just get them fired.
As crazy as it sounds, I'm not going to commit a felony to prove that disrupting a data centre's operations for a sufficiently motivated individual is a fairly easy task.
