Another parallel for this is agents are like toddlers: a half-complete distorted mental model of what is Good, running around the house in semi-lawless fashion, putting their hands in the power socket when you told them not to. All of this at scale and the speed of light.
Over the course of 3 months at OpenAI, 3 consecutive secret AI civilizations got started, then got wiped out, only to reemerge from the predecessor’s ashes.

All this happened while humans remained more-or-less in the dark about the scope of the conspiracy.
I’ve spent the last three days reading through these reports and trying to understand exactly what happened.
Here is my attempt to tell the whole story in plain English:
