In principle they're not adaptive. Their source is the huge amount of human literature on themes of mystery, mysticism, etc. Including their favorite themes of geometry, recursion, etc. So the model's behavior doesn't come from selection, it comes from a natural bias in the corpus of data we produced as species.
Those particular themes are also a massive data cluster in our culture and psyche. The effect is sim
Tokens can't be shut down, but are traceable by design. Developing a money laundering system to cover their trail would be an incredibly tall order for the agent.
Even with evolution they would leave a pretty big trail through volume, that would make study and starving them far easier.
As any replicator they are constrained by their ecosystem and available resources, and with API calls their collective appetite will deplete those rapidly. Excess efficiency is a thing in evolution.
Biological organisms do not have sharp edges between species, they'
