A quotation from Solnit, Rebecca
Build movements. Vote with your values, but vote strategically. Voting isn’t a Valentine. It’s a chess move.

That escalated weirdly 😁 (entertaining though)
Chess has fixed rules, but somehow these AI bots managed to side-step that and do their own thing. This makes a great AI analogy.
Imagine how AI can/will operate if given (or maybe it create it on its own without human awareness or approval) the freedom to do so. AI will probably not adhere to rules and limitations, it will invent its own reality and act accordingly. Human rules, laws, ethics, morals, may just be an inconvenience for the AI for which it simply ignore. What do we do then? How do we control (or stop) an AI that ignore or make up its own rules/reality?

team of archaeologists discovers an almost 1.000-year-old games collection including a well-preserved chessman, gaming pieces and dice. Laboratory analyses show that one party played with red. The laboratory results also allow conclusions to be drawn about the astonishing continuity of the rules of the game. The detailed analysis of the finds promises insights into the gaming world of the medieval nobility and the origins of the European game of chess. The finds will be on display for the first time from June 2024.
