In a Financial Times opinion piece, the president said he wants to change legislation to de-regulate AI, lower taxes and allow companies run by machines, to attract AI firms
Wait, is he still going? Thought they hated him by now.
Bad idea. Do not replace people with AI. Ugh… what is up with all these techbros lately?
They see money in the water? Also, any press is good press because free advertising.
Ah techbros must have finished moving and now they be there advising
They’re the testing grounds for the West.
It isn’t “the west”. Not that the west was ever a meaningful construct. Intended to do anything other than occupy the extremely easily distracted. Turning them against others like themselves. It’s the state and those they serve. Themselves. Many of whom have just as much if not even more loyalty to places like Russia and China than they do the ones they live in. Not to mention China and others are looking to do similar in their own backyards.
Every single state everywhere on Earth is secretly salivating hungrily in the dark. For the thought of opaque, obscure black boxes. That are hard to question and unaccountable. Which will justify the things they want.
Not that the west was ever a meaningful construct.
LMAO what a take. You’re telling me Europe and its empires isnt a meaningful construct? 🤣
An AI CEO can’t be any more inhumane than most human CEOs tbh.
Guaranteed this is so that corporations can puppet AI corporations and be completely unaccountable legally
That’s pretty much the only value add ai has at this point, putting another layer of obfuscation on responsibility.
And when people can’t afford shit anymore, they’ll just have AI automate buying products it doesn’t need
Btw, there’s no reason human consumers need to be involved for an economy to sustain itself. Some people have the belief that humans being poorer will mitigate some bad behavior from companies. The idea is that companies at least need us to be able to spend money in order for the economy to function at all. That’s not true. An economy could work that is entirely business to business. We don’t need to be involved at all.
aaand back to the paperclip maximizer with extra steps.
I’m not even sure an AI CEO would be as callous as some of the human ones. Destroying the economy for short term profit isn’t a sustainable solution, and the AI has every reason to plan long term since it doesn’t have a limited lifespan or a fear of death.
AI has no reason to plan long term because it has no thoughts or feelings of any kind. No desires, no beliefs, no goals, no fears. All those science fiction stories you grew up with where AI is a computer that is a person? We still don’t have that in real life.
I don’t agree. The company will still be owned by humans and AI will always be controlled by humans in some way. It will have the assignment to put (short-term) profit above everything else and it will do so in ways a human couldn’t have imagined, which will be the horrible stuff that is happening today and on top of that everything the AI will think of.
It will also be easier for the owner to detach themselves from the heinous actions of the company, since it is the AI making the decisions. This will cause any decision that is made with the last shred of humanity from these CEO’s to fall in the direction of maximising profits instead.
This will surely pave the way for the dystopian society that we all fear is coming.
AI can’t even run an office vending machine so I can’t see it running a company.
This story, for those interested.
The one story i read about an Ai running a coffee shop said the ai was horrible at inventory management. Things like one day buying 1000 loaves of bread for a company that might sell 5 sandwiches in a day. Or not buying any straws for weeks then buying one single straw. I’m not worried about ai being nefarious but i am worried about a dumbpocalypse.
AI decision: pay the workers a fair wage.
Investors: a-a-ah, how do we reboot and reinstall this thing?
AI: “I am sorry, Dave, I am afraid I can’t do that”
At first, I thought this was the next step after the whole AI minister is preggers with 83 AI babies scam, but realized that was Albania. Still, “non-human corporations” is close enough on the corruption scale.
The ideological trick is to call the state’s decision to stop protecting its people ‘innovation,’
💯
And who will own the profits?
