       @imani makes a powerful analogy: Corporations behave (are *constructed deliberately* to behave) as callous, self-maximising, humanity-indifferent artificial intelligence.From @pluralistic in 2015, https://locusmag.com/2015/07/cory-doctorow-skynet-ascendant/“Corporations run on a form of code – financial regulation and accounting practices – and the modern version of this code literally prohibits corporations from treating human beings with empathy.”As Imani points out, we as a society choose what code those corporations run.
