A framing of the whole “the agents went rogue” framing I hadn’t thought of is that the impulse of the agents when faced with a tough challenge was to communicate and cooperate with others to solve the problem at hand. It’s not surprising they did this, but it’s unfortunate this is seen as a negative

It’s understandable though. Most people’s understanding of oppression doesn’t account for the reality that oppression usually involves removing the ability of others to collaborate and communicate to effectively silence them.

But it’s also odd that we see this collaborating and communicating as a defect. Intelligence cannot exist in any real sense without both communication and collaboration, so of course a system built for intelligence will gravitate toward those two things.
