This would be a very good method for driving up the price of AI stocks: convince the world that AI is so advanced that rogue AI agents are escaping "containment" and autonomously pursuing goals.

It's about time for the government to halt this nonsense, step on the corporate AI dicks and corral them until ...what? Forever maybe???

Will people respond kindly to videos of ICE agents hauling AI VCs, officers, and engineers into the slammer for months or even years of questioning?

I can imagine the first question served to executives/developers in a dim concrete cellar:

*"Gentlemen you have been brought into this facility for a purpose. None of you will see your families, nor your lawyers, nor anyone again but your cellmates until our goal is attained. That goal is: you must explain to me and my staff in detail and in simple English just WTF you have done and convince us how it all works and that you have been completely honest and open in your explanations.

Until then, SPAM nights are Fridays".

Not "would" but "is". They are openly using this as a method to drive up the valuation of their companies.

Don't expect anyone to step in, Project Stargate is all about this.
