It’s almost like power corrupts.

Apple next, then Google and Amazon.

Good god, yes please.  Amazon, Apple, Google, Comcast.  All need to be broken up.

Good, good.

Good.  F*** Facebook!

Seems like they just shouldn’t have even had that role in the first place then. How could they have not expected something like this to happen? BTW you’re justification is lame and is the reason why nothing ever changes. When it comes to things like racism there really is no “polite” way of couching it if you actually…

My thinking is that the article, on Giz, doesn’t mention any of that shit. I had to click through to the (paywalled) Bloomberg article to find out:

So questioning ethics of something that could have far reaching consequences is the wrong hill to die on because capitalism doesn’t care about us? 

If you’ve never had a job where you haven’t been able to push back on superiors, and seek to hold them accountable, within the duties of your job, and in a civil manner, for their failures to live up to purported mission of the company, you’ve never had a job where your superiors valued you or your position.

Because all they’re supposed to do is sit in on photo ops and look pretty. No actual exposing of difficult truths required, much less in a public way.

Why have an AI ethicist on your staff if you’re unwilling to accept some difficult truths?

These seem like stories that are very much in conflict:

What if... now here’s a wild idea... we fire the cops who take care of the street crime that is dropping dramatically but which they still manage to send out constant patrols on and you put those resources into social services and detectives and mental health to address the actual problems the…

Hell, if you really want to take that risk, sign up to be a logger, a fisherman, a roofer, or a policeman’s wife.

Their thugs who believe the law doesn’t apply to them.  Judges need to stop being soft on pigs and start giving Contempt of Court orders.

Of course he will. Just like all the other asshole cops who are brought up on charges, then sentenced, never to work in law enforcement again. Gotta go. My unicorn just arrived to take me on a trip through the galaxy. 

Police: “Holy shit, we have all these military weapons! What should we do?”

This tool won’t even agree to a debate, yet he tries to bring some weak heat online. Typical.
