There’s this thing with AI called the lethal trifecta, which is: if they’ve got access to private information, if they’ve got internet access, and if someone can give them an instruction that’s untrusted, then they’re not safe.

They refer to it as her because it chose to be referred to as her and as “Cassandra”. They asked it to name itself and this is what it chose.
I get what you’re saying about anthropomorphizing the LLM (which I agree we shouldn’t do), but the purpose of this was to put the scope of what it can and can’t do and some of the pitfalls it has in a video that is accessible by the general masses.
Does this make the whole problems with anthropomorphizing LLMs more prevalent? Yeah, probably. Is it intended as a grift? Not that I can tell from watching the video.

It usually boils down to codependence type behaviors. It’s people who let the Internet genie make their decisions for them that really get into trouble

Yeah, we should absolutely NOT be anthropomorphizing clankers. They are incapable of a key human activity: original thought.
