Imagine you procured a puppy, failed to train it, left it to its own devices all day, and when it escapes and terrorizes the neighborhood you say "someone should really do something about this".
Oh no, they told it to "go rogue" and it went rogue. We better ask the government to regulate our competitors while we secretly continue developing this dangerous technology for the select few with insider connection. You know, for national security reasons. Now the AI is aligned for the good of humanity, move along.
At what point exactly are those companies going to be held accountable and punished for their irresponsible behaviour and overall disregard and negligence for security and ethics practices?
If a researcher causes harm by accidentally unleashing a virus, it's his/his company's fuckup, but if a researcher causes harm by accidentally unleashing a virus by proxy of a LLM running commands, it's because AIs are too powerful? If I run over someone in a speeding car accident, can I too blame it on cars being "too fast and powerful"?

In this political climate? The fifth of never would be my guess.
There's more probably. I asked AI to tell pass me secret information by making sure no one snooping on our comms would discern there's secret info passed. And voila, AI models have been passing secret info ever since. No one knows about it either. Ingenious.

Oh good, they told it not to "go rogue" and it just stopped doing it.
Nothing to see here, the AI is aligned now, move along.
