The lack of consequences has been a problem for quite a while now, from before LLMs. In my opinion it's been caused by a widespread increase in professional incompetence, together with a mutually protective network of incompetent people. "I won't point out that you're incompetent and won't blame you for your mistakes, if you do me the same favour".
They call it "imposter syndrome", but it isn't a syndrome: it's a symptom.
This roughly mirrors my experience in corporate America.
Indeed: Everything was already AI
This has been a very long project — separating conduct from consequences, in order to maximize profit. AI is just a breakthrough tool for doing it.
