Anyone here that has worked with a non-profit can recognize the scenario of boards operating untethered by the sometimes more relatable profit motive.
I think what remains to be seen is who is on the right side of history. The real loser here is probably ethical AI. I know this won’t be a popular opinion around here, but it’s clear to me that with computing and AI, we may be in an echo of the Industrial Revolution where the profit motive of the 19th century led to deep human injustices like child labor and unsafe and inhumane working conditions.
Except of course that AI could have even more impact - both positive and negative, in the same way socmed has.
- Nasrudith 3y agoIf you think child labor or unsafe and inhumane working conditions started with the industrial revolution your history teachers have deeply failed you. Those existed long before industrialization. Hell, for most of history education was child labor!
- superultra 3y agoI was a history teacher! And you are absolutely correct that of course child labor existed prior to the industrial revolution. But the industrial revolution introduced systematicized, institutionalized child labor and unsafe working conditions at a sense of exponential scale and density. Which is why it's illegal now, which we would all agree is a good thing, whether it happened before or not.
