It depends on what you mean.

• Do I believe the events attributed to a rogue AI actually happened? Yes
• Do I believe the ‘rogue AI’ actually gained sentience in some way to combat it’s reward function? No
• Do I believe it’s possible for an LLM to effectively “break free” and truly “escape”, cloning itself everywhere? Yes
• Do I believe LLM companies orchestrate these “rogue AI” incidents for profit? No not really, but maybe
• Do I believe that, once the event has occurred, the LLM companies maximize spin and fear mongering for profit? Yes absolutely.
