The original article doesn't mention AGI.

And the Hugging Face incident, plus similar problems at AISI and Anthropic, show that alignment is important now.

The original article is immoral as it describes the risks, but doesn't show enough leadership (despite essentially unlimited resources) at preventing them.

But it isn't hyped - it's proven now the AIs need to be "aligned" as they get more capable, whatever words you prefer to use.
