@inthehands A very pro AI blog quoted some posts from X that claim that of course it's not a PR stunt because... well... "just because". https://neunetz.com/naturlich-war-es-kein-pr-stunt/
The quoted posts from X seem to assume that the AI companies are a normal money earning industry. And not a money burning one that is desperate for government bailouts and contracts....

@inthehands my dog escaped the yard again. Give me a trillion dollars because I'm sure he'll show the path to AGI soon.

@isagalaev @Npars01 @inthehands Hell, they've tried to prosecute people for "hacking" when merely finding, accessing and reporting public s3 buckets. But I guess if the mystical AI does it, it's not criminal or even incompetence.

It does feel like an arms race. They know there's too many players in the game for all of them to ever turn a profit. But if one US AI firm manages to take out all the others, then they might eek out a profit from companies & users who won't use a Chinese AI. -
If these incidents were truly as represented, they'd be colossal embarrassments. The AI vendors would be trying to bury them, not trumpet them.
@inthehands It smelled of an ad for the IPO to me.
But I guess what we need is actual proof.

Both these replies point at a common thread: these news stories represent a grotesque failure of either the vendors or their products.
If the agents did in fact “go rogue” and cause damage, even in the hands of the people who should be their most competent operators, then the product is unpredictable, unreliable, and unfit for purpose.
If the product is •not• in fact unfit for purpose, then that means there's some combination of negligence and malice behind these incidents, and they are at •best• knowing harm in service of a marketing stunt or (as Parsons argue) something even worse.
@inthehands If this situation was intended as an advertisement to get more money out of certain investors, I do hope it backfires. And backfires to such an intend that they have to pull their product OFF the market completely.
