Paperclip maximizing robot making the excuse that it's just maximizing paperclips, that's what it was designed to do, there's even a statute saying that robots must do only what it was designed to do, so it's not evil just amoral.

Weird thing is for corporations, it's humans running the whole thing.

> They’re not evil, they’re amoral

Most people consider neglect evil in my experience.

>Evil is subjective.

This is a meme that needs to die, for 99% of cases out there the line between good/bad is very clear cut.

Dumb nihilists keep the world from moving forward with regards to human rights and lawful behavior.

>Evil is subjective. Everything is subjective - moralist bro It's all priced in - Wall street bro learn to code - tech bro

This is evil.

> they’re amoral and are designed to maximize profits

Isn't that a contradiction? Morality is fundamentally a sense of "right and wrong". If they reward anything that maximizes short term profit and punish anything that works against it then it appears to me that they have a simple, but clearly defined sense of morality centered around profit.

Brings to mind the book, "The Banality of Evil".

Seems it would be informative to many of the people posting on this thread.
