Comment on Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where 'machines can make all the food and stuff' isn't a bad idea
NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 10 months agoYou are saying that organisations don’t need any ethics at all, but at the same time you refuse to call this “unethical”.
For me this the point of EOD.

Nope. I think you're not really understanding what I'm trying to say. I'm saying that ethics do not factor into an organisation's decisions in the same way it doesn't for a colony of insects. They are ethically neutral in that respect.
At the same time, if you apply ethics looking from the outside in, of course you will cast their actions as ethical and unethical and many of their actions will be unethical.
I'm actually saying this is a bad thing, but is just a property of how an organisation, and especially successful businesses, operate. We're not going to change that, I suspect. As such we should expect businesses to exploit AI to the fullest ability, even knowing that removing most or all of their employees is bad for the employee, bad for the country (and the world), bad for the economy and ultimately in the future, bad for the business/organisation too. But they simply do not look that far ahead.
