> Google: "Don't Be Evil" is our motto! > Also Google: "Let's do all the evil things..." ~ heavily "paraphrased" ;) My "tongue-in-cheek point" is that it seems like corporations beyond a certain point of "filthy-richness" just do as they please, and say what they please, and mostly neither thing has to agree with the other, nor does either one need affect their profits "bottom line" all that seriously much. Most of your typical "mega-corps" are really only able to be affected much by the laws and legal system, which they've been increasingly "capturing" in various ways so that happens very rarely anymore these days, and when it does it's most often a "slap on the wrist" and "don't do that!" sorta thing, followed by more business-as-usual. You know the old worry about the "paperclip production maximizer AI" eating everything to create paperclips? That's kinda where we're pretty-much already at with mega-corps. They're so utterly laser-focused on maximizing to extract every last dime of profit out of everything that they're gonna end up literally consuming all matter in the universe if they don't just destroy us all in the process of trying to get there.
