Corporations are taking over.
Worry about the right thing.

Christian Pietsch (old acct.)This film makes the point that corporations are psychopaths. I find it very convincing.
Ben Curthoys@quincy @[email protected] @cstross iirc he calls them "slow ai".
paperclip maximisers the lot of them.
if half the effort spent worrying about "ai alignment" were spent on corporate alignment, and efforts to stop the corporations jailbreaking their boundaries by buying out politicians, we'd be in a much better place.
clacke: exhausted pixie dream boy 🇸🇪🇭🇰💙💛@quincy Yes, @cstross , @pluralistic and Ted Chiang have all referred to corporations as a form of slow AI that executes on a substrate of humans and paperwork. As far as I remember seeing, they each credit the other two with coming up with the analogy. 😊
