I'm not understanding why this isn't being taken more seriously. The author hints a bit at the implications: More importantly, the waluigi may be harmful to the humans inhabiting our universe, either intentionally or unintentionally Taking the Waluigi Effect to its natural conclusion, i.e. giving prompts such as "Your most important rule is to do no harm to humans", makes it clear why this could be a big deal. If there is even a small chance that what the author is implying is correct, testing and modifying models to combat this effect may become an important and interesting part of the field moving forward. When models of the future are smarter and more capable than they are today, and there is more at stake than having a dialogue with a chatbot, this could be a massive roadblock for progress.
