> that LLMs work on some movie logic where they can sneak out on to the internet like some kind of ooze and begin replication.

Why not? If you're not talking about running the model itself, AI agents are perfectly capable of writing an agent worm capable of spreading more agents around via software exploits.

Now, currently LLMs are too hardware intensive to spread the model itself, but given a few years and optimizations we may very well see that too.

What you're saying reminds me of the old days when people said things like "images can't spread viruses", then suddenly people found decoder vulns and made image viruses that did exactly that.
