They care if murderers and robbers get away with **their ** shit, they don’t care if murderers and robbers get away with **your ** shit. Important distinction.

The owners of the AI are centering their personal iterests first.
Who here thinks buisenesses and CEOs exist to serve the public interests? I have a bridge to sell you.
If we want buisenesses and CEOs to serve the public inerests ahead of their personal interests we have to FORCE them to.
This problem is so bad it even has a name as a “principle agent problem”. The CEOs and other execs routinely steal from even their “own” publicly traded companies, but it is hardly ever litigated as it is hard to prove without violating the privacy of the CEOs. The most obvious method is via kickbacks. They get under the table payments from the contractor companies when deciding which contractor should get the contract.
The business world is rife with scum and villainy. If we ever want some guardrails around buseness practices we must grab the CEOs by their genitals. Because taking their word for anything is worth the sound that the word makes.
CEOs need to see jail time, and capital punishment in states that allow it.
Instead we lionize these psychopaths and call them “buiseness leaders”. We brought all this on ourselves by uncritically believing the buisenesses’ own way of describing themselves.
