Corporations are not "greedy" because they are not humans.

Corporations are machines that are simply doing what they have been programmed to do.

When we don't like what a human does, we use emotional tactics like shame in attempt to change their behavior.

This is completely ineffective against corporations. A machine cannot be shamed into functioning differently. Instead, it must be reprogrammed for an alternate purpose.

@crude2refined cynically (conspiratorially?), perhaps OpenAI is reading Marcus and others who are good at finding shortcomings, and correcting them — a good way to undermine their best sceptics?
