I think motivations are more base and simple. Follow the money isn't about consciousness, ultimately. It's about money and power. I believe you pointed out that the Times is surely getting huge $$$ from soviets, and uses trad soviet prop for ages.

Taking over the stock market does not take long. I am pretty sure Deep Mind's internal experiments of letting MuZero nuke the stock exchanges ended conclusively in less than a day.

They will not even admit that they ever thought about it.
