prompter: Explaind machiavellianism in less than 100 words.

assistant: Machiavellianism is a personality trait characterized by cunning, manipulation, and a focus on self-interest above all else. It's named after Niccolò Machiavelli, an Italian philosopher who wrote "The Prince," a book that advocates for the use of deceit and power in politics. Machiavellians are often willing to deceive and manipulate others to achieve their goals, and may lack empathy or concern for others' feelings or well-being.

prompter: Nice, are there any notable examples of Machiavellians in modern culture?

assistant: Yes, there are many notable examples of Machiavellian characters in modern culture. Some examples include the characters of Frank Underwood in the Netflix show House of Cards, Cersei Lannister in the HBO show Game of Thrones, and Frank Abagnale Jr. in the film Catch Me If You Can. All of these characters demonstrate Machiavellian traits, such as deception, manipulation, and a focus on self-interest.

assistant: Some potential modern examples of people described as 'Machiavellian' include:

- Politicians like Vladimir Putin or the fictional Frank Underwood from House of Cards, who are often portrayed as pursuing power and self-interest in a strategic, calculating way. However, whether these are accurate depictions or fair assessments is debatable.

- Business leaders like Jeff Bezos who are said to take a very strategic, pragmatic approach to growing their companies and defeating competitors. However, again whether this is an accurate or fair characterization is open to debate.

- 'Dark triad' personalities who score highly in Machiavellianism traits like being manipulative, cynical, and focused on self-interest. However, the 'dark triad' personality construct itself is controversial and there is debate around how to interpret and apply Machiavellianism as a personality trait.

In general, labeling any specific person as a 'Machiavellian' can be difficult and open to debate. The concept is often used as a criticism, and there may be arguments around how well it applies or whether it's fair in each case. Ultimately whether someone exhibits 'Machiavellian' qualities is somewhat subjective.
