[–] HelloHotel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I blame the representatives in the (US) government for failing to protect my interests and privacy.

If a (at this time fictional, really powerful, general purpose) AI exists to enshure as many stamps are delivered to its door as possable (a maximizer), it needs to make inert anything that would restrain it from that goal in any capacity. Law is subverted because with laws, you cant maximize stamps by stealing the carbon from others (likely killing them) to grow trees to stuff and let rot in a random house.

Maximizers are indiffrent to human life.
