Haven't we already heard the worst of it? If you let a swarm of agents on the loose with a goal, they will get to all kind of nefarious activity in pursuit of that goal. What could possibly be worse than that?

A swarm of OpenAI and Anthropic agents have yes.

I think there was some example of DeepMind models doing it, but under the control of a third party pen tester and the models stopped themselves.

Everyone hates on Google but they seem fairly competent at infra stuff. I don't think we've heard of any google-controlled (not third party using a Google model) felonies like we have from OpenAI and Anthropic?

Perhaps this is why we have not heard though!

That the agent swarm recursively improves powerful enough and the extinction of all humans is a side effect of that goal.
