I mean, tokens can be sent to it by other LLMs or even itself if you set it up that way.

(Not that I think the premise of LLMs "breaching containment" catastrophically has much merit rn, I just think your argument is a bit oversimplified)

    However the LLM that sent the token has to have been prompted by a human to do so at some point, so the point still stands. These things don't just operate on their own.

    And that is besides the point that when these things do stuff like that, they have a tendency to exponentially introduce problems into the task, as they do not question each other, and even if they did, they have no way of determining what is or is not accurate, so they would begin to loop.

    Sure, in the same sense that the first domino has to be knocked over by something other than a domino.

    But then there's a more limiting factor at some level it needs humans for hardware and physical resources.
