Exposing institutional capture through Dongguk University: falsified partnerships (2/5 Canadian), Title IX failures, exploitation systems, 180+ days institutional silence, Supported by EROC. genderwatchdog.substack.com
AI development is proceeding faster than institutional integrity can keep up.

And in Korea's case, integrity was
already failing before the AI race
began.

The October 25 bot traffic wasn't
just about our blog.

It was a warning about:
• An internet breaking under AI
strain
• Countries racing without governance guardrails
October 27, 2025 at 3:37 PM
• Aggressive data scraping
prioritizing speed over internet
commons?
• Unsafe AI deployments prioritizing
prestige over safety?
• Cover-ups of AI harms using same
institutional silence patterns?

Current state: AI scraping crashes

Korea's plan: Massively expand AI
capacity by 2027

With documented integrity failures,
what prevents:
October 27, 2025 at 3:36 PM
What's emphasized:

✅ Speed ("top 3 by 2027")
✅ Capacity (15K GPUs, one exaflop)
✅ Prestige ("World Best LLM")
✅ Corporate profits (Samsung/SK
doubling HBM capacity)
October 27, 2025 at 3:16 PM
❌ Independent safety oversight
❌ Ethical data collection
standards
❌ Institutional integrity
prerequisites
❌ Conditions on OpenAI partnership
❌ Accountability for researcher
misconduct

It's: "Can institutions that falsify
partnerships & cover up sexual
violence be trusted with AI
development?"

What's missing from Korea's $100T AI
strategy:
October 27, 2025 at 3:04 PM
• LGBT military sexual violence posts
censored on DC Inside
• 200 days of silence on Dongguk
sexual violence testimony
(Xiaohongshu)

The question isn't "was the bot spike
malicious?"
October 27, 2025 at 2:56 PM
• Criminal defamation law =
truth-telling illegal
• Bosses taking staff to hostess
bars/room salons => complicit silence
• Can't report data center fires OR
AI safety risks (career/legal
retaliation)
October 27, 2025 at 2:55 PM
• 2025: Zeta app outputs erotica,
large minor user base, zero
safeguards
• Govt prioritizes "AI startup
success stories" over safety

INSTITUTIONAL CAPTURE CREATES OMERTA:
October 27, 2025 at 2:54 PM
• Same govt that scolded Kakao for
2022 fire couldn't fix its own
infrastructure

AI SAFETY PRECEDENTS IGNORED:
• 2021: Luda chatbot leaked users'
PII from Kakao Talk into training

Sam Altman praised Korea's
"world-class infrastructure" and
"incredible tech talent"

REALITY CHECK:
October 27, 2025 at 2:53 PM
• 40% academic partnership fraud
• 61.5% sexual violence crisis with systematic cover-ups
• 190 days of silence on documented exploitation
• Zero independent AI safety oversight
October 27, 2025 at 2:42 PM
But here's what really matters:

Korea just bet $100 TRILLION WON ($72B) to become "top 3 AI nation by 2027"—partnered with OpenAI (which just allowed adult content & attacks safety advocates)—while maintaining:

When millions of Americans declare "No Kings," Korea's captured institutions contemplate crowning one.

This is what institutional capture looks like: unable to distinguish between strategic partnerships and moral compromise.

No Kings: As America Rejects Authoritarianism, Korea Prepares to Crown Trump
How institutional capture creates untenable contradictions that reveal a country whose leadership has lost all coherent direction (updated 2025-10-21T04:19:11Z)

Institutional capture creates contradictions:

• Condemn authoritarianism → Award Trump highest honor
• Announce AI safety → Partner with OpenAI (subpoenaing safety groups)
• Recruit Chinese tourists → Fail to control anti-Chinese violence

Economic opportunism > principles
October 21, 2025 at 5:08 PM
Same period Korea considers this award:

• Data center fire: 647 services offline
• Students housed with tourists in dorms
• Judge caught at hostess bars
• Leadership: K-content events

Infrastructure fails, prestige flourishes.

Sept 26: Hankyoreh editorial calls Trump administration "marching toward fascism"

Oct 2: Same outlet celebrates Korean chaebol partnerships with Trump's "Stargate" AI project

You cannot condemn someone as fascist while courting them for business.
October 21, 2025 at 4:56 PM
"As America rejects authoritarianism, Korea prepares to crown Trump"

This isn't coincidence. It's predictable when institutions prioritize prestige maintenance over principled governance.
