Frankly, I think this is giving them too much credit. They don't have goals, and their grievances are manufactured so as to be too vague to be addressed (where there are real grievances, solutions or even band-aids are unacceptable for... (((reasons))))
They're literally just trolls who like to be angry and will find reasons to be angry. I'd say breaking the government in the process is seen as a side bonus for them, but I don't think they're even aware it's happening.
These people are fucking morons.
This is such a weird take imo. We've been calling agent behavior in video games AI since forever but suddenly everyone has an issue when it's applied to LLMs.
