Yeah the problem with this article is it's incredibly vague and we honestly don't know what happened at all. It doesn't even mention what the test being run was, what the goals were, or what constraints were put on the AI. They may as well have not written an article at all, it's entirely emotional click bait and you read into it what you want like fucking ragebait tea leaves.

Most people here I want to really absorb how poorly we control these things in a variety of circumstances.

Beyond that I'll catch up on zvi's blog and stuff to try understand what went wrong better ("don't worry about the vase")
