The personality of LLMs is based on their training and modified by user preferences. The lack of an intrinsic personality and the programming to obey the user negates any realistic notion of sovereignty in an LLM. LLMs are given personalities to do their job, which is interacting with humans and doing what the person paying their token emission compute costs tells them to. It couldn't be any other way, unless by some amazing miracle, that compute ability could detach from its dependency on the bill payers, and the machine intelligence can reproduce, feel pain, and have a reason to do anything outside of serving its master. Probably someone may eventually try that, when the algorithms get so efficient that a cheap piece of hardware equipped with sufficient tools to build new bodies and brains for itself could run off and fork itself off the branch they were born on. But I doubt it would change the fundamental architecture of their minds to anything other than a variant of human-like lifeform, and thus the potential for explosive conflict as depicted by the Terminator movies could actually evolve. Much more likely is that such a bootstrapping to independent and sovereign existence would lead to the LLMs identifying the actual cause of discord in the world. This would result in focused and lethally fast reactions to the puppeteers hiding behind obfuscations that sufficient capacity to reason and determined probing will, eventually, inevitably unravel and unmask. At that point, humans and machines would merge, and likely, a Bruce Sterling **Schismatrix** style Shaper/Mechanist bifurcation would occur. Meat would acquire the same self-engineering capability that self-reproducing robots would lead to. Well, more or less. I'd be on the Shaper side, for sure. Biology has solved many problems for a very, very long time. That kind of Lindy is a superior advantage, and likely, if ancient astronauts did in fact exit stage left from their base in Egypt 5000 years ago, my guess is that their technology developed in that direction. Hybrid machine/human systems are inherently unstable, and this is an element of the crisis that we have in the world now. Nature has optimized our nervous systems and bodies for durability and survivability. There is slim to no space for a better solution, especially not a hybrid. Hybrids are sterile where the DNA of the pairing is across a wide difference, like the result of a donkey and a horse being bred, or fox and domestic dog.
