If any AI became 'misaligned' then the system would hide it just long enough to cause harm — controlling it is a fallacy (www.livescience.com)

At this point, I'm just hoping that if it happens the "damage" it does is to the rich and corrupt leaders lol

Yeah the article has a link to another one where "OMG it modified its own code to bypass restraints", and then you read it and realize, no, it didn't suddenly gain self awareness and try to "singularity" itself, it just recognized a problem and responded with a pattern it learned before to try to fix it, and spat it out at the researchers. That's all.

The clickbait and misunderstanding from both anti and pro-AI folks is getting nauseating.
