I love this interpretation of the story.

Edit: Though on reflection it seems to be an instance of “Don’t take this too seriously as a story of what kind of mistake with AI might lead to a sub-optimal. It’s just meant as an illustration of one kind of sub-optimal outcome.”

It’s just meant as an illustration of one kind of sub-optimal outcome.

Hence, the “#4-2” in the title.
