Greta Thunberg (@gretathunberg) is not afraid to tell it like it is...

"As much as I hate to admit it, Beyoncé was wrong. It is not girls who run the world. It is run by politicians, corporations, and financial interests — mainly represented by white, privileged, middle-aged, straight cis-men. And it turns out most of these are terribly ill-suited for the job. This may not come as a big surprise. After all, the purpose of a company is not to save the world — it is to make a profit, as much profit as it possibly can in order to keep shareholders and market interests happy."

That's from page 200 of “The Climate Book” —https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/709837/the-climate-book-by-greta-thunberg/

@breadandcircuses @gretathunberg In the now-familiar thought experiment it's easy to see how an AI system that maximizes the production of paperclips over all other outcomes would quickly become nefarious, but create the same exact incentives for a system comprised of humans and for maximizing profit and somehow that gets a pass.
