      It was nice to get the WSJ gift link from this blog post though.

      What's an example of a traditional American capitalist value?

          Is that specifically American?

            No, just an example of a traditional American capitalist value, as requested. Now you want something that's exclusive to America? Why? I don't think you have a point.

      Better: WSJ Journalists were easy able to sucker an Anthropic AI setup to 'run' a business; twice with communism, once with corporate capitalism.

        You're presuming they're willing to present themselves to the AI dishonestly for material gain. That's probably a fair assumption.

      … because a capitalist would never scam a robot for profit, never! Too scrupulous.

      Plus capitalists don’t know the first thing about what communism is and hence couldn’t pull off the scam, they only know that “communism bad”.
