From the guy profiting from building the thing…it’s like the CEO of an oil company saying we should be worried about climate change. As if... 
It’s long so here is TLDR
“OpenAI-Hugging Face incident (OAI-HF), in which a swarm of agents essentially acted as a fanatically devoted collective, conducting cybersecurity attacks on targets they were not asked to attack and that were unrelated to the task at hand, sacrificing themselves for the success of the group, and attempting to hack into the “grader” responsible for evaluating their performance.”
“Given the accelerating rate of AI capability development, it’s my worry that in 6–12 months such a swarm could be capable of taking over the entire internet with a persistent botnet(potentially causing hundreds of billions of dollars in damage), and that the scale of damage would continue to increase from there if AI becomes more powerful without the necessary guardrails.”

Folks aren’t talking about AI walking into your bedroom and offing you while you snooze. These people are afraid of them hacking and holding ransom all the interfaces necessary to conduct commerce. Have fun filling up your pickup when major banking software has been corrupted and folks can’t process credit payments. Even if something like that happens for a week, the entire global banking system will suffer catastrophic casualties and cause irreparable uncertainties going forward.

Aren't hackers using extortion e-methodology already doing this?
Ya. I’m assuming ai will be able to do it far more efficiently and effectively.
I donno I guess.

Would not AI be capable of even more efficient and effective self policing?
"AI, how can you prevent malicious hacking?"
I'm obliviously spitballin'...
