The [AI] safety stuff is more visceral to me after a weekend of vibe hacking,” Lemkin said. I explicitly told it eleven times in ALL CAPS not to do this. I am a little worried about safety now.

This sounds like something straight out of The Onion.

That is also the premise of one of the stories in Asimov's I, Robot. Human operator did not say the command with enough emphasis, so the robot went did something incredibly stupid.

Those stories did not age well... Or now I guess they did?

It's because these people don't have a clue how AI actually works. They think it's like a human intelligence and that writing something in all caps is in some way going to give it more emphasis. They're trying to reason with something that has zero self-awareness.
