Spoken like a true math teacher.

No.

That's true for people. Corporations don't learn from mistakes and cannot improve over time, they're legally obligated to seek shareholder value.

Expecting a corporation to do things for the right reasons is like expecting AI to do things for the right reason.

If we must interact with either, we must simply be glad when the answer is correct. If we want corporations to act more like people and be able to have real values, we need to bake a corporation's values into law in some way.

Private businesses can still have morals and can learn and all that good stuff where the method matters, but public ones will always dehumanize.

So I'm happy they hit the right result. I'm also happy they're talking about it like this even though this talk is also just a publicity response, because other companies might see this and also do the right thing for the wrong (purely financial) reason.

But this is also why corporations shouldn't be people and should be barred from everything involving government and all that, if not abolished altogether.
