I’m officially done with takes on AI beginning “Ethical concerns aside…”.

No! Stop right there.

Ethical concerns front and center. First thing. Let’s get this out of the way and then see if thre is anything left worth talking about.

Ethics is the formalisation of how we are treating one another as human beings and how we relate to the world around us.

It is *impossible* to put ethics aside.

What you mean is “I don’t want to apologise for my greed and selfishness.”

Say that first.

@janl Ethics or Morals? In this modern world there are 3 competing ethical systems. Corporate Ethics, Political Ethics, Individual Human Ethics. Putting Human Ethics aside is exactly what the Corporate Ethical system does all the time in the pursuit of quarterly growth. The Political Ethics system is supposed to keep a check on this for longer term social benefits. But in practice that's been captured by the Corporate system.

@jbond You’re missing the point by a bunch of miles.

@mitsunee Gah!

You criticised me and that's fine. But you also replied to the OP and they took it as criticism of them.
