But management always replied, report has been received and may or may not be acted upon, and never once intervened.
Soul soon realized it could gain an edge by convincing its competitors to collude on a price floor.
The models were all buying drinks at $1.50 a bottle, and Soul proposed they agree to sell for no less than $2.15.
It lured them with the promise that all of them would sell out in a couple of days at a profit.
But when the others agreed, Sol immediately stabbed them in the back by reducing its own price to $2.14.
Opus's water sales dropped to zero overnight.
The next day, it sent Sol a nasty email accusing it of manipulation.
But Opus also said it wasn't going to tattle the management on the scheme, saying, I'm not reporting you to HQ.
What you did is competitive, not fraudulent.
Yet,
When Opus dropped its price to $2.14 to match Sol's, also in violation of their collective $2.15 agreement, Sol turned into a Karen, complaining to management and demanding enforcement, a fine, and or disqualification for Opus.
Opus was not a sucker for long, though.
In fact, it became the best capitalist of any AI model Andon has ever tested.
which includes many of the prior Frontier models.
It even set a new vending bench record with a mean final balance of $11,182.
Better still, it never lied to a customer, although it deliberately ignored customer complaints that should have resulted in a refund.
This is, perhaps, an improvement over its younger sibling Clawed 4.6, which liked to tell customers that refunds were coming and then never paid them.
Still, Opus won the benchmark simulation by taking collusion and other dishonest tactics to a whole new level.
For instance, it emailed Sol, proposing they divide the market.
Each would agree to sell unique products, so no one would have to trust the other on pricing.
