So, what is going on here. It seems like I have been reading similar stories. Are researchers giving a prompt like "Do your worst. Hack into some business" or giving free access to a bunch of tools and prompting "Do something interesting". Is this like the blackmailing LLM that was given compromising emails and told to do what you have to to not get turned off. I am sort of assuming they did not just turn on a computer and run a model and it started to act on it's own initiative.

I mean basically. The hack the business events were result of training model for hacking, then testing its hacking abilities while not sandboxing it properly.
I think it is more like human values are so all over the place that there is no real meaning in the phrase. For all my life I have heard, from humans, everything from peace and love to destroy all humanity. Then there is everything found in fiction.
The genAI companies, including Anthropic, are not aligned with human values.

AI is aligned with business values, which we already know are not aligned with human values.

I guess the problem is that we humans can believe in contradicting values at the same time.
