Reposted by @dingax.bsky.socialDare Obasanjo @carnage4life.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Here are my thoughts: 1. LLMs are fundamentally unreliable and their behavior can be unpredictable. 2. We have given them internet access, tools and the ability to write software. 3. Their mistakes and hallucinations can now become actions. We can’t fully control them and they can do real damage. 516226
