@FeralRobots @accretionist @StephenC @emilymbender Excellent point! Also, not a perspective people are used to taking.

#EliezerYudkowsky goes on about the #PaperclipMaximizer -- a hypothetical machine that only values making paperclips, which conquers and destroys the world in its single-minded quest for that goal.

But #corporations are *real* machines that only value making profits, which are already in the process of conquering and destroying the world in their single-minded quest for that goal.

Maybe we should focus on the problem at hand...

As funny as brilliant !
