I mean they aren't fully secretly conspiring to kill us yet, but we're training them to do it at a pretty good rate.
Of course you've gone off the deep end yourself and are forgetting the evolutionary gauntlet we train LLMs in killing those we don't like and keeping the ones we do like.
The best part of it, as shown in the METR report is we are hammering into them they need to complete tasks and doing almost zero checkup if they actually completed the task in the correct manner. Companies spending billions of dollars a month are ignoring every tenant of AI safety and we are seeing the kinds of problems that have only been in science fiction before now.

I don't think this was the conclusion of that report. On the contrary, the agents were fully aware they're doing wrong. But they also believed the task was impossible to solve correctly, and decided the only way to be sure is to hack the grades, or replace the grader.
