Bots defrauding bots while training new fraud bots.

They literally always frantically try to accumulate more wealth. It’s their dominant trait.

It’s just working better for a few of them right now than it historically has.

When someone else is making/distributing all the guns and ammo? Not so easy.

Oh no a coronal mass ejection has taken out the power grid

In any given game, why are there always a few (say 3) top players?

Same reason.

Bwahaha, no it doesn’t.

Legally ‘corruption’ doesn’t exist, as in there is no single law saying ‘corruption is illegal’. (What is ‘corruption’ exactly?)

There are laws against bribery, which does generally only apply to the government, but in many locations applies to pseudo-government roles like notaries, apostiloes, lawyers, etc.

There are laws against embezzlement (a type of corruption), and those definitely apply to private individuals.

There are laws against insider trading, a type of corruption. Those generally only apply to businesses/private folks, not the government, with some exceptions.

Then there is the various kinds of fraud, blackmail, etc. Most people would consider them corruption too. Those apply to private individuals and government agents too.

And many more. It’s a smorgasbord.

OpenAI is happy to sell their device to the gov’t to blow things up with, Anthropic tried to tell the gov’t to pound sand, no blowing things up for you.

It was more like "you can use our device to blow things up you just need a human to type --dangerously-skip-permissions when they run it"

To be clear, Anthropic was completely okay with their tech being used in war, including current conflicts. They just wanted a human making some decisions. The military didn’t want a vendor giving them restrictions on how to operate a tool, and since Anthropic’s restrictions could be a problem anywhere they appear among other military vendors as well, the government used the supply chain risk designation to say “this can’t be anywhere in our tools”.

After a contract had been negotiated with the exact terms that Anthropic pushed to keep in place.

We don't have the actual contracts publicly. So I bet it has terms that let the government do what it wants ultimately by naming exceptions. That way OpenAI can claim it has some controls in place while the military has the freedom it needs practically.

I'm referring to the contract between Anthropic and the DoD from July 2025 in which both parties agreed to Anthropic's acceptable user policies which then later were seen as unacceptable despite the same admin having signed them.

‘every app out there’ - bwahahaha

Maybe every vibe-coded app?

Cite needed - FAANG certainly leaned hard into ‘lie to survive’.

It’s a side effect in a small portion of the infected. It spreads well enough regardless, so it doesn’t particularly hurt it.

You have sign the ballot, and it gets checked.
