This is a great thread. I just wanted to add how much labels matter. If we called AI "machine learning models" and poorly-designed agents "computer viruses," people would have a very different understanding of what has been happening.
I did a somewhat deep dive into the recent OpenAI and Anthropic "hacks" for an upcoming interview.
IMO, the AI companies are better off running with the "rogue AI" story because the real story is actually pretty embarrassing.
Like making your Wi-Fi password "wifi" embarrassing. 🧵
