The Molok Trap in Competitive Environments

The Molok Trap refers to a situation where competitive organizations are driven to take actions that individuals within them wouldn't take on their own. This effect has been observed in recent years, with examples like DeepMind and OpenAI releasing groundbreaking AI technologies in quick succession. The competitive nature of the industry leads to rapid and dramatic responses, like Microsoft aiming to make Google 'dance' in the search space. The Molok Trap is evident in the tech industry, where companies are compelled to push boundaries and innovate in response to competitors' moves.
