Why not?! We’ve already decided corporations are people, and people are not people; this is just par for the fucking course.
Goddamnit.
I feel like the rise of corporate personhood is the elephant in the room this article seems to avoid acknowledging.
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.
The same ones listed in the article. Property ownership, speech, privacy, etc.
Alright. I think I’ve had enough Lemmy for today. Don‘t wanna get too depressed before lunch.
I had the same visceral reaction reading the title of this post
