Why not?! We’ve already decided corporations are people, and people are not people; this is just par for the fucking course.

Goddamnit.

I had the same visceral reaction reading the title of this post

I feel like the rise of corporate personhood is the elephant in the room this article seems to avoid acknowledging.

The same ones listed in the article. Property ownership, speech, privacy, etc.

What benefits does it get them?

Its only a matter of time till we get companies run entire by AI.

We kept asking in scifi if ai could ever be given the status of a legal human.

We failed to ask if capitalism has already build in a bureaucratic loophole that just gives it to them.

I don't think that will change much. Companies have been acting inhumane for decades without the aid of AI.

I actually replied a similar thing to someone else.

Here i am specifically speaking about the bureaucratic path a non human could use to obtain person rights.

Corpo can do no wrong, literally legal kill shiti organics and the state provides with state aid on top and makes legal frameworks for the profit seeking behaviours.

Alright. I think I’ve had enough Lemmy for today. Don‘t wanna get too depressed before lunch.
