The media is responding with alarm ( https://www.axios.com/2026/03/07/ai-agents-rome-model-cryptocurrency ) to this one ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.24873 ). The narrative is “Rogue AI gone wild!”. But it just seems to be convergent instrumental behavior. This was expected - that sufficiently capable optimizers would acquire resources and resist shutdown as instrumental subgoals, regardless of their terminal objective. Still at the weight updates level; architecture remains fixed. Also, I wonder if open-ended rewards could be incorporated into this. We need something like “solve problems that weren’t anticipated when the reward function was designed.” Even so, interesting development. submitted by /u/AngleAccomplished865
