Global institutions are caught in a delusion, begging Silicon Valley to "do the right thing."
They fail to grasp the ironclad law of fiduciary duty. You cannot shame a corporate machine engineered strictly for capital efficiency. It’s a category error. If a system cannot feel empathy, stop trying to teach it how. Logic must fight logic.

It's great seeing this argument in the open after making it in private circles for so long.
My argument has been essentially: corporations are completely blocked from doing the right thing if they can do the wrong thing profitably with no repurcussions. Even if a CEO wanted to do good, fiduciary duty to shareholders would force him to take evil measures to enhance shareholder profit.
I raise this every time someone in earshot says corporations are good or somehow benevolent.
@TrimTab it's exactly why I proposed a solution that, instead of fighting corporate greed, which is a losing battle, what we do is we take their greed and make it work for humanity. We offer them a massive discount on land, we don't sell it to them but we lease it to them at a massive discount but only if they prioritize hiring humans to make sure that people keep their jobs instead of automating them away if they try to automate they lose their lease.
I call it NUPA:

@fb3111pub Exactly. We have to stop trying to moralize the players and instead completely redesign the board. By changing the baseline structural rules—like leveraging land leases to incentivize human employment—we make regular people's stability an unalterable system requirement. That’s how we win.

@bedardbrandon928 Great points, but we shouldn't ignore the solution’s architecture. Trading a board for an algorithm isn’t liberation. Who writes the #code? Who audits the auditors? There’s a risk of swapping corporate hegemony for technocratic #dictatorship.
Replacing a system just changes the cage. With Weyland-Yutani, we knew the monsters were in suits and had acid for blood. Let’s not build a system where the monsters are invisible lines of code.
@dotyk we don't trade it for an algorithm, since you're using Weyland-Yutani as a reference, let me use Star Wars as my reference.
It's a framework to ensure that humans are always in the loop, but not beholden to the corporate bottom line.
@dotyk Or, if you prefer Middle-Earth?
@dotyk aside from fantasy settings, I also already wrote the code for Nigeria.
@dotyk The AI employment displacement crisis requires a structural, not policy, fix. I've designed the NUPA framework: a market-based operating system for Sovereign Hubs. Open for audit and collaboration.
