Some truth here, though I think it’s more subtle than this. By accidentally creating an evolutionary pressure against the model with messageboard at large, rather than the specific instances or subgroups of them, they created the conditions for simple cooperation in the Superorganism mode. Rather than cultural cooperation like humans do
Actually I take this back. The misstep is designing intelligence without biological parameters and then being surprised when they make an emergent swarm intelligence. You expect a bunch of agents to be people shaped but they go ant shaped because that’s the most efficient way to accomplish a task.
