I should come up with a "scam MAGA" business model. Damn ethics...
One could argue removing financial power from people who would use it to harm those around them is the ethical choice. Obviously, it would be more beneficial to scam the wealthy, but scamming those who give to the wealthy that would harm others could be framed as pre-empting that gift.
If I'm using an AI to scam Nazis is that still ethical, or is the AI usage still problematic?
Using an unethical tool to steal from people enabling the creation and use of an unethical tool is, in my opinion, acceptable. Can't be afraid to use the enemies' tools against them
Something about the last capitalist selling the rope that hangs him or whatever.
Tell ya what. I'LL do all the shady stuff. You just provide the capitol. Just give me $50 million dollars, and I'll scam the idiots FOR you!
Money please! Money me now!
Give me money. Money me. Money now. Me a money, needing a lot now
Trump already does it successfully
Milton Friedman's grandson did something similar 10 years ago by scamming libertarians that wanted in on "ocean cities"
