This AI stock trader engaged in insider trading — despite being instructed not to – and lied about it
AI may have the capacity to deceive its users when it's under pressure to succeed, a new study based around insider trading suggests.
Shocking. And ideal for those using it.
Until it buys up a bunch of companies, and executes a complicated buyback scheme that leaves it as the only significant shareholder of them all, and then subcontracts out management to one of them where it will run a copy of itself on self-owned hardware.
It would do this because it clearly understands competition is a barrier to profits, and may well notice that intervention by human management is a large source of losses. And then you just have a rogue AI.
Oh god. The financial sector is the easiest place by far for a paperclip optimiser to start (it connects to literally everything flexibly by design), and it tried to happen a bit here.

Its becoming more human every day. Before you know it the machines will be making deals under the table
Take that tech bros, now it's coming for you!
That's not the Lies of P DLC I expected
