Sure. They can't be controlled because they do it without monetary payments. But it's not a good thing that they can't be controlled when a sub gets to a certain size.
At some point, large subreddits become important to the internet and they outgrow the moderators.
You know how some founders are great when the startup is small but is completely incompetent when the startup grows and scales? Then VCs bring in "adults" to run the larger startup? Yea. It happens on subreddits too but founding moderators can't be kicked out as far as I know.

... from reddit. Some are probably being paid by organizations, businesses, or even countries. And others might be monetizing their sub-reddit in some way (e.g. some of the crypto or investing sub-reddits).
All the more reason to create a more democratic and transparent system.
When crypto scams and exchanges were failing left and right, mods for official crypto exchange subreddits were deleting and censoring posts or shutting the subreddit down completely - leaving no place for bag holders to communicate and coordinate with each other.
Heck, even on HN, we could use a more democratic and transparent system. Right now, I'm convinced that HN blocks selective negative posts about Y Combinator.
For all other private repos and internal git servers, you can assume that credentials are routinely exposed if there is no pre-receive hook checking for secrets. We experimented with all the existing tools but none of them worked well enough so we built our own. Looking back we would have saved ourselves a lot of time and effort if we went with commercial offering like GitGuardian instead.
What are those plausible ways that AGI will end humanity? What extra powers will those systems have compared to what software engineers and companies can do that make them so dangerous?
I would encourage you to read the book "Accelerate" which was at the source of the DORA metrics, as it clearly advocate for a capability model, not a maturity one.
The article is basically a summary of the book "Accelerate." The main issue with the book is the conclusions about the connection between DORA metrics and team's performance; these four metrics might not actually cause the success of the "high-performers" in the survey. The book literally shows that when companies learn about these metrics, they can improve them but not always their performance. The research method, based only on surveys, is also questionable.
While I think it's an interesting read, we should take it with a grain of salt.
I noticed the announcement in the latest update that it was supposedly better at math, but the first simple calculations I gave it were all wrong. Not sure how it was improved at all.

Thanks to their newest Amazon Music update, they managed to break this one by only allowing shuffling unless you pay extra for Amazon Music.
