How exactly do LLMs do that?

If you hook an LLM up as an interface replacement for a manual/analog Power Plant interface and start asking the translator to intuit decisions based on fuzzy inputs, you can create a cascade of errors that result in grid failure.

If you’ve given an LLM’s pseudorandom output control over your electrical grid, no regulation will mitigate your stupidity.

This rule would prevent a business or public regulator from doing such a thing without proving out safeguards.

And the governor vetoed it.
