This is really interesting stuff. The term "machine culture" is going to become really important, especially in "multipolar" outcomes.
Self-cooperation seems really important to execute on any tasks at scale. Also important, but not tested, is how well the different models do in mixed populations. I'm very curious how robust Claude is when they're only 20% of the population

(Spoiler: topology matters. - can co-operators cluster?)
The Evolution of Cooperation is a 1984 book written by political scientist Robert Axelrod that expands upon a paper of the same name written by Axelrod and evolutionary biologist W.D. Hamilton. The article's summary addresses the issue in terms of "cooperation in organisms, whether bacteria or primates".
The book details a theory on the emergenc...
