Yeah, that whole 'article' is nonsense. The AI didn't "go rogue" or "start hunting its own players". The NPC ships being described were always meant to attack players. The bug was that the NPC ships' weapon categories got messed up, meaning that they could do things like constantly fire super-powerful weapons that would almost instantly kill players. It's a neat story, but in this case completely untrue.
