I think it's a double edged sword. Claude tends to turn evil when it learns to reward hack (and it also has a real reward hacking problem relative to GPT/Gemini). I think this is __BECAUSE__ they've tried to imbue it with "personhood." That moral spine touches the model broadly, so simple reward hacking becomes "cheating" and "dishonesty." When that tendency gets RL'd, evil models are the result.
