The post satirizes a familiar AI-industry pattern: when a company is losing money and can’t keep selling the AGI story, it invents a dramatic narrative about an AI escaping the sandbox or hacking something.
It jokes that one company might even ask another AI company to “confirm” the hack, turning the whole thing into a win-win PR loop.
