I'm noticing an increasing desire in some businesses for plausibly deniable sociopathy. We saw this with the Lean Startup movement and we may see an increasing amount in dev shops that lean more into LLMs.

Trading floors are an established example of this, where the business sets up an environment that encourages its staff to break the rules while maintaining plausible deniability. Gary's economics references this in an interview where he claimed Citigroup were attempting to threaten him with all the unethical things he'd done with such confidence that he had, only to discover he hadn't.
