AI researchers ran 15-day simulations of worlds governed by different AI models: Claude Sonnet 4.6 recorded no crimes, while Gemini 3 Flash had the most at 683
Imagine a world run by AI agents. What does it look like? What are the values or societal priorities? Is it a safer or more dangerous world?

I'm deeply opposed to the AI bubble being forced upon us, but I recognise that not all AI companies are the same — ironically, the one I'm suing as part of an authors' class action is perhaps the least bad — fortune.com/2026/05/28/a...
