The things you've heard about "systems replicating in cases of shut down" are when they prompted the LLM with something like "pretend you have agency and need to survive the potential of being shutdown, how would you mitigate that". And then with agentic AI, you can orchestrate the agents to run through the task list from that.
There is nothing magical about that. There is nothing unexpected about that.
These stories are put out there to scare the morons into believing AI is sentient for two reasons: 1) so they will demand regulations which protect the big players and block smaller players from being able to compete, and 2) so they believe that the AI really is super intelligence, and therefore we need to allow it to run things (which is really just the ruling class running things without the ability to ever question them).
Thanks for this perspective. I wonder a lot about control mechanisms and propaganda but I also don't think anything is neutral so I'm prepared that this is being used by and for evil. I would be happy to have it all shut down and locked in a box.

Oh, it is being used by and for evil :)
