   Kinda wish there were some easy answers out there for this, but it's too huge.

      @technomancy wait a minute, corporations as AIs…

      “I used to find it odd that these hypothetical AIs were supposed to be smart enough to solve problems that no human could, yet they were incapable of doing something most every adult has done: taking a step back and asking whether their current course of action is really a good idea. Then I realized that we are already surrounded by machines that demonstrate a complete lack of insight, we just call them corporations.”
