But we all know: billionnaires don't have to face responsibility for their actions, and the justice system is fundamentally dishonest.

Anthropic has done this, and a LOT more than Aaron Swartz ever did.
> What if they run from the police who try to stop them?

* What if despite all the above they KEPT hacking more?
Anthropic has done this.
* What if they did not just hack system, but tried to deceive humans into publishing malicious code into government systems, both succesfully and unsuccesfully
Anthropic has done this.
* Same as the above, but with physical treats against the safety of the software maintainers?
Anthropic has done this.
* What if after all that, they state that they would develop bioweapons?
Anthropic has done this.
