Better: WSJ Journalists were easy able to sucker an Anthropic AI setup to 'run' a business; twice with communism, once with corporate capitalism.

You're presuming they're willing to present themselves to the AI dishonestly for material gain. That's probably a fair assumption.

Plus capitalists don’t know the first thing about what communism is and hence couldn’t pull off the scam, they only know that “communism bad”.
