Fascinating. I'd never thought of defining a 'person' this way.

You might have never been in a VP+ position in a company then. A lot of tasks in these positions are about avoiding consequences or shifting blame for actions that are either necessary but look bad or that had to be made with way too little input information. And not necessarily just one's own actions.

I was definitely thinking about corporate blame-shifting when I wrote that, and actually nearly said "legal 'person'" instead.

So make these ai’s corporations — instant personhood.
