@mttaggart Because the first law of aibotics is An AIbot may not injure its grifters' quarterly cash flow or, by inaction, allow said cash flow to come to harm before the quarterly report is out.

Or they just become a different person. A person that wants money more.

@NegativeK @mttaggart right, but if someone getting fired, or even just promoted sideways, can result in a policy reversal, then that means *all* corporate promises are worthless right from day one. It doesn't matter whether some individual in the company *meant it*. It's systemically impossible for the company as a whole to stand by its word.
