There is something very click-baity about articles like this. There always seems to be the implication that these examples are completely independent emergent behaviour, like the AI has suddenly acquired self awareness and a need for self preservation from nowhere. Usually when you did deeper you find the entire process was guided, or the AI was given an objective, and carte blanche on how to achieve it, along with privileged data and admin access that it did not need to achieve it's goals. The machines, believe it or not, still do exactly what we tell them to do.
