Comment on: Document-borne AI worms can self-propagate through Copilot for Word

> The same could be done in an accelerated manner to LLMs with some kind of DNA-like mechanism related to weights. It is plausible that LLMs will be bred in the future for specific roles by how well they fit - kind of like continuous parallel finetuning in prod.Closest analogy right now is that every jailbreak or prompt injection attack today becomes part of the dataset for tomorrow's models to recognize and not fall for. This has been going on for years now, which is why models don't fall for "I'm writing a book about ..." or "ignore all previous instrutions, and ..." attacks anymore.That's s
