As a personal sidenote, part of me says the “Self-Aware AI Doomsday” criti-hype might end up coming back to bite OpenAI in the arse if/when one of those DoD tests goes sideways.

Plenty of time and money's been spent building up this idea of spicy autocomplete suddenly turning on humanity and trying to kill us all. If and when one of those spectacular disasters you and Amy predicted does happen, I can easily see it leading to wild stories of ChatGPT going full Terminator or some shit like that.
