From this post: https://hexbear.net/post/2063160. The whole comments thread is gold, this guy is on a reply streak.
Someone get him on the lathe, let’s see more CEOs getting held personally liable.
Also, bonus points that this guy can take time away from his busy day of running a company to post on IGN comment threads, really speaks to the important work he’s doing.
His argument is that we need CEOs so that someone can be held responsible when a company commits crimes…
In what world do C-Suites ever face consequences??
Also, if everything can be fully automated, why are we programming AIs to commit crime on behalf of a company?
Is this a Megaman X reference?
Man I wish the world worked the way this guy thinks it does. If we’re gonna have this capitalist structure, that should be the point of a CEO. When the BP oil spill happened the head of BP should’ve been executed for his crimes.
Hear me out here, everyone. Let’s say we get to a point where AI replaces most of industry, and if we need someone to be held accountable. Why not have people democratically decide on what the AI can and cannot do, and when the AI does something we do not like, we democratically tell the AI not to do that.
I know I know…really crazy idea.
What? Just implement a corporate death penalty and have the state seize the corporation’s asset if the corporate person does something illegal. Corporations are people, don’t they know this?
Besides, when’s the last time a CEO was actually held personally liable for anything in the US? It’s purely an academic distinction, and I would argue it’s probably easier to keep an AI within the confines of the law if governments mandated this to be the case. You program it in, and if you didn’t the owner is liable.

We could. I think he did a lot of fucked up things, just to get pussy I read his biography. https://www.amazon.com/Kissinger-Biography-Walter-Isaacson/dp/0743286979 I also read the book transcripts of the Nixon Tapes
“okay” executes criminal CEOs
“Noooooo! Not like that!”
Very telling how AI taking over art is seen as a huge priority but CEOs are magically immune to being replaced by AI, trust me.
