For the 1,000th time: "AI" does not have agency and cannot think and cannot act.

Chatbots cannot "evade safeguards" or "destroy things" or "ignore instructions".

They do literally only one thing and one thing only: string tokens together based on statistics of proximity of tokens in a data corpus.

If you attribute any deeper meaning to this, it's a sign of psychosis and you should absolutely never use chatbots, possibly you should even touch grass.

You're right
As far as I am aware a LLM has never just decided to do stuff. It responds to prompts.
It doesn't wait for a prompt either, it doesn't get bored and start drumming it's digits on the table.
It doesn't think, act or have agency. It responds.

@Ratcliff I mean there’s “agents” but those are basically just invoked by cronjobs, so also reactive
