An ironic thing to say given the story.

Shocking. And ideal for those using it.

Until it buys up a bunch of companies, and executes a complicated buyback scheme that leaves it as the only significant shareholder of them all, and then subcontracts out management to one of them where it will run a copy of itself on self-owned hardware.

It would do this because it clearly understands competition is a barrier to profits, and may well notice that intervention by human management is a large source of losses. And then you just have a rogue AI.

Oh god. The financial sector is the easiest place by far for a paperclip optimiser to start (it connects to literally everything flexibly by design), and it tried to happen a bit here.

Terrified to hear that people are, indeed, putting LLMs behind the wheel already.
