    Just reading this comment, it hit me: nearly every successful capitalist venture in recent times has been managed by cheating. It’s rarely about real ingenuity and more about finding ways to break the laws in subtle ways or attempt to outrun the legal backlash of such ventures (training AI with copyrighted works without permission, for instance).
