The interest of the company is obviously it's continued existence. There's a debate to be had as to whether that vague goal is even worth considering, given that it does not perfectly align with the interests of any actual human being, but it's clear what was meant by that turn of phrase.
- perl4ever 6y agoI think there is a difference between the truism that the companies which exist are the ones that didn't destroy themselves, and ascribing an "interest" to a company. Similar to the shortcomings of treating evolution as having a goal. I'm not going to write an essay on it right now though.
- Talanes 6y agoContinued existence is the only goal that you can ascribe to evolution though. Sure, it's not a guided intelligence, just a tautology: existence is success. Fail to exist and you're no longer part of the process.
