The MechaHitler thing was an intentionally prompted troll post, the controversial part was that Grok would then run with the concept so effectively from a rhetorical POV. Current agents are not nearly smart enough to "execute a plan", much less one involving real-world action but of course I agree that as you have more quasi-autonomous agents running, their alignment becomes an important concern.

Well I don't know about derailing some critical system, obviously, but when coding Claude definitely maps a plan out and then executes it. It's not flawless of course, but it's generally working.
