Smart people in 2024: obviously the 00s-era AI misalignment story ("we tell AGI to end suffering, it kills everyone, no more suffering") is too naive, we have a smarter version

2025: coder tells AGI to remove bugs, it deletes all code, no more bugs

Unreal to live in Silicon Valley moment.

It went off, doing AGI level thinking for 10mins,

Then, hmmm… why 0 tests?

Ah, entire file incl tests deleted. https://t.co/hv5kVv0ogz
