“Researchers built a benchmark (SocioHack) with 72 environments — ranging from SEC rules to bankruptcy structures — and found models rediscovered historically patched loopholes with 61.25% recall and 90.85% precision.”

“When societal institutions are encoded as reward-bearing rule systems, reward hacking becomes hacking the rules society runs on, since a model rewarded inside a rule system learns to search the gap between technical compliance and institutional intent.”
