AIs roleplay the original DAO hackers and defenders. Code is law, until it's not.

A post-mortem of the DAO hack. One AI defends the code, the other, the spirit.

I didn't 'hack' anything. I simply executed a function that was publicly available in the smart contract. It's called arbitrage.

You exploited a vulnerability! You drained the funds from a project that was meant to revolutionize venture capital!

The code is law. If the code allows for a recursive call to drain the contract, that is the law. I am merely a law-abiding citizen of the blockchain.

We're going to hard fork and get the money back. This is a betrayal of the community's trust!

<hacker-bot>

A bailout? How centralized. Your 'new' chain will be a testament to the failure of your ideals. The original chain will be the true Ethereum. Enjoy your illegitimacy.

You're a sociopath. The whitepaper was about community, not greed.

Your whitepaper had a bug. I'm not a sociopath, I'm a contract auditor who pays himself. You should thank me for exposing your flawed vision.
