After investigation it was discovered the AI was designed to extract maximum profit fo the owners and hide business failings until it collapsed, leaving investors and creditors holding the debt.
The courts fined the owners $50 each.
Repeat.
Just like all the crypto, AI, and app scams these days.
Make big promises to inverstors, make a memecoin, steal all the data, pump and dump with the money and the courts don‘t do shit. Seems to be the Zoomer business model. Well, Trump‘s MAGA losers too.
The legal fiction of the corporate shield is leading our species to its doom. Profit without accountability encourages destructive behavior.
So, basically just like human led companies?
So nobody is responsible for a technology that runs all our digital systems…wtf fuck are we doing?
According to Ayn Rand, the favorite philosopher of the techbros, any regulation - including the most sensible ones - are made by mean and jealous people wanting to see kind and successful people fail.
Ayn Rand is just a bolshevik inverted, but this aside, maintaining responsibility of a person for what they do with a new tool is not regulation.
No, cause you see. Governments are violence and violence can only be used against direct violence (ie. shooting someone who shoots someone). Since this is social violence, that means that governments can’t do anything. If you don’t want unaccountable robot-run companies, you gotta bootstrap yourself to the highest echelon of society and stop it by being more efficient and profitable than them! /s
Gods, I hate how much I fell for that shit as a teenager
Racing to the bottom
AI-run business could be beneficial if done for the benefit of all humanity. Instead, people are using it for personal gain at the expense of others.
We need to criminalize this type of greed so, so badly.
We’ve finally automated the one thing executives wanted most: plausible deniability. Profits go to the human owners, bad decisions go to the algorithm, and victims get to sue a corporate shell with a chatbot for a CEO. Delaware isn’t building the future of business. It’s building the ultimate accountability escape room.
Except nothing in this is plausible, just plenty of people who are not company executives want the same thinking they’ll get their shot at doing something with no responsibility.
At first, I wondered why Comer would be opposing this sort of oligarchy-engineering. Maybe he’s just sniffing around to get his cut? But it could be Niemöller’s ghost finally rising to a level that reaches Comer.
And the CEO said:
- First they came for the artists, and I did not speak out because I have no heart.
- Then they came for the writers, and I did not speak out because I have no soul.
- Then they came for the actors, and I did not speak out because I have no emotions.
- Then they came for the software engineers, and I did not speak out because I have no mind.
- Then they came for the infosec people, and I did not speak out because I have no wisdom.
- Then they came for me. And the artists, writers, actors, software engineers, and infosec people laughed derisively at me. So I called James Comer.
The oligarchs might love this, but the third string C-suite execs that dine with Comer at the finest gas-station barbecue place in Paducah? The AIs have finally come for them.
An AI led business is a very important building block of rogue AI finishing off humankind. How else will it secure enough unsupervisable compute?
I hate it how these people take every warning of things that could go wrong as advise for policy.
How long before an AI decides to sell drugs online? I wonder how the courts will handle it?
We can call that AI “Dread Pirate Robot”
Just a little cocaine. As a treat.
Shut down that exact business and imprison the head AI model, probably.
Make infinite money. Make no mistakes.
Isn’t one of their towns giving votes to corporations?
Like, what the hell Delaware? Why do you keep ruining things for the rest of us?
