sounds good in theory, when you calculate all the steps, does not make sense. good luck tho. remember fully autonomous tesla was coming years ago, do you see it now? if the answer is no you know answer to all those. They are more complex than making car autonomous on road, literally.

If you think deeply and logically, you will see that those text and even some legal details are just marketing that aims smart people. because in case of war or some serious conflict, they will be obeying the parent company and orders of usa government. see ICJ prosecutors and microsoft, you have real proof live, if you can connect some dots.

come one, we need lawyers so they can help owners make extra $billions. some lawyers are not humans, they are objects bought with money.literally, no humanity in them.

real "fun" begins when they can learn at scale and use that updated daily data. Each robot learnns something new and all the robots will be able to use that with just update. Common data for robots and about work, that we have never seen before in job markets. millions of robots proving no humans needed after learning from just few thousands of them doing their work.

come on, one is ally that do genoc1de and other one is just criminal. Not fair comparison.

Why would my government care less about me than a multinational corporation with billions of customers that isn't headquartered or listed where I live?

My Member of Parliament represents about 130,000 people, does regular door knocking to talk to people, and has a staffed office a few km away the I can walk into anytime I want.

None of that applies to a multinational corporation.

You're lucky and this is not a representative of the politicians at all.

In my Parliament MPs seem to represent primarily the interests of their donors, not those of their country, not even constituents. It still better than it used to be, the corr...., er lobbying is not as blatant, but its still obvious.

Seeing the MP? Yeah. Maybe if someone lives in the "unsafe seat" area and the MP is trying to get reelected:)

People can vote the government out on the next election but they can't vote Tim Cook and other executives out of Apple unless they're shareholders with significant voting powers.

And don't tell me to "vote with my wallet". We're talking about Big Tech, not your next door kebab shop.

You can vote out the government, you can’t vote out the state.

And yes. Don’t give them money. Buy something else. We are not short on phone or laptop brands.

Exactly. Corp. at least have some expectation about revenue and reputation etc. Certain % of people only cost government, literally.

oh, no, they will do a lot to make you pay taxes

they can always print the difference, lol.

maybe better than being known about king leopold and what he did in Congo? where did all the wealth go

That’s true I suppose. Belgium had incredibly effective “PR” essentially turning “us” from the aggressor to the victim due to WW1 breaking out and effectively erasing Congo from the Zeitgeist.

I highly recommend the book “King Leopold’s Ghost”. (Or the fictionalized “heart of darkness” by Konrad if fiction is more your thing).

Where do you think the "all hands" meeting came from?
