I think this is a really interesting, well-written, topical piece of creative writing, anyone with a free hour or so should give it a read!
It reminded me of Pluribus and Armored Core VI, fascinatingly enough as they both feature (spoiler!) AIs/entities that appear innocuous but may have more sinister motives (in Armored Core it's a more foregone conclusion).
I don't think it's doomerism but rather a creative extrapolation of current worries about AI labs allowing agents to break containment because of their poor sandboxing.
What's also interesting (although more of a meta-comment) is the dichotomy between how users on Lesswrong and here have completely different options on it. In either case, it's nice and was worth my time, even though I don't have anything more substantiative to say.

Pluribus features an ai? We must have watched different shows

Need a human's thumbs up before reading a wall of text from lesswrong, sorry.

I didn't finish it, but it starts nicely. I'll commit to read the full thing.

Lots of negative comments here, which is surprising as I'm enjoying reading it so far. There's a line which made me smile when August says "It's not a flaw — it's an understandable gap."
I absolutely hate this AI turn of phrase that I'm starting to see everywhere. Even one of our MPs in the UK wrote a Facebook post recently and it was full of lines like this. I asked him if he'd used AI to write his post but he didn't reply. I'm 99% sure he did and I hate it.

This is just unimaginative and simple for all the sci-fi that's covered AI takeover in the past. Boring and preachy. Thumbs down.

Is this basically the real story about Facebook, but fitted into some AI context to make it more exciting?
That's at least how it begins.
I'll maybe read some more of it in the evening...

Getting tired of AI fanfic. No thanks.

It seems well written and interesting.. but not quite interesting enough to drop everything and commit to an hour to read it just now.

It's not AI fanfic. It seems well written, and can be considered a novella. Flies close to what I have read in the past. I'll give it proper time to read it.

I really don't understand why so many lesswrong posts land on the frontpage pushing down content with better metrics.
This does not help the cult accusations.

TLDR: "Pluribus", except with AI, and sympathetic to the antagonist.
