A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit asked if anyone has attempted to gain root access to their own system using a local large language model. This inquiry was prompted by recent discussions regarding Mythos's alleged ability to hack into US government systems. The post seeks practical experiences from the community regarding the feasibility of such actions. It specifically targets the application of local models for self-penetration testing or unauthorized access. The question highlights concerns about the security implications of powerful AI tools in the hands of individuals.
