The primary use case for AI-in-the-box is a superhuman CEO that sees everything and makes no mistakes. As an investor you can be sure that your money are multiplying at the highest rate possible. However as a self-serving investor you also want your CEO to side-step any laws and ethics that stand in your way, unless ignoring those laws will bring more trouble than profit. All that while maintaining a facade of selfless philanthropist for the public. For a reasonable price, your AI CEO will be fine-tuned to serve your goals perfectly.

Remember that fine-tuning a well-behaved AI to do something as simple as writing malware in C++ makes widespread changes in the AI and turns it into a monstrosity. There was an HN post about this recently: fine-tuning an aligned model produces broadly misaligned results. So what do you think will happen when our AI CEO gets fine-tuned to prioritize shareholder interests over public interests?
