It’s so funny that pretty much everyone recognizes that individuals are smarter than groups, but somehow Evil Companies pull off one decades-long too-secret conspiracy after another, while the individuals who make up those Evil Companies are just monkeys.
It’s a very strange möbius loop of self-contradiction.
- lm28469 3y agoQuite literally the opposite of my point but if you rewrite the argument and answer it like that it sure makes you look like a smart monkey > Evil Companies pull off one decades-long too-secret conspiracy after another Famous conspiracies such as DDT, asbestos, freon, lead in gas, lead in paint, madcow disease, &c.
- brookst 3y agoNot every mistake is a conspiracy. I’d argue those are examples of companies being monkeys rather than malign superintelligences.
