I’m not asking for proof of absence or denying they could be using stenography, just asking for people to stick to the facts instead of indulging in fantasies of the machine singularity. It’s neither useful nor informative.

If bots/agents wanted to hide I’d expect encrypted messages which would of course look very different.

My main point though is this should never have happened and the company allowing and encouraging it should be held responsible for it. The details of how the bots were misbehaving are interesting but also something of a distraction.
