They're really rushing to leave the bleakest cyberpunk distopia in the dust.

Delaware is the state where a bunch of companies are legally but not physically headquartered, ro evade state taxes and regulations.

States need to rethink their tax laws for companies: If you do business here, you pay taxes here.

Isn't Delaware a famous tax haven?

After investigation it was discovered the AI was designed to extract maximum profit fo the owners and hide business failings until it collapsed, leaving investors and creditors holding the debt.

The courts fined the owners $50 each.

Repeat.

Just like all the crypto, AI, and app scams these days.

Make big promises to inverstors, make a memecoin, steal all the data, pump and dump with the money and the courts don‘t do shit. Seems to be the Zoomer business model. Well, Trump‘s MAGA losers too.

If these are relatively inexpensive to set up and dispose of, corporations could even set them up automatically for individual consumer transactions and between individual employees and themselves.

For example, you go to a fast food restaurant, and you are actually being served by McGermKing Franchise 6d8f3cee-b10b-442b-b00b-02683a709f70 Ltd, founded 2 seconds ago, and leasing the right to operate in the building amongst other similar AI companies, as well as the part-time services of McGermKing Employment Services fd176cc4-bb95-4c1b-80e7-2aec39f02917, who hires a human to take your order, and McGermKing Employment Services 5336b4f1-0594-4df1-8387-5ec9b638db77, who assembles your GermBurger (TM used under licence by McGermKing Franchise 6d8f3cee-b10b-442b-b00b-02683a709f70 Ltd).

If you pay them and they make money, it goes back to the owner. If you get food poisoning and sue McGermKing Franchise 6d8f3cee-b10b-442b-b00b-02683a709f70 Ltd (since the parent company is totally innocent and some other subsidiaries are just honest suppliers), it comes out of the money they made selling you the burger, and if their liability to you was higher than the cost of one burger, well, the AI corporation tried its honest best at business, but you can line up for your share of the payout - keeping in mind they also owe franchise fees to the parent company out of that burger, so the AI liquidator will divide up the assets, and if it doesn't cover liabilities, the parent company loses its 50c investment into McGermKing Franchise 6d8f3cee-b10b-442b-b00b-02683a709f70 Ltd, and how sad it was a bad outcome for you as a creditor.

Likewise if an employee gets hurt, same story.

The quote used as the title of the article isn't accurate. The owner of the company would still be a human, so there would be a human at the helm.

Sounds like this will be used to break laws and avoid responsibility. Just point to the black box to avoid fines and jail. A loophole for society to decend in to lawlessness and more corruption.

The legal fiction of the corporate shield is leading our species to its doom. Profit without accountability encourages destructive behavior.

We’ve finally automated the one thing executives wanted most: plausible deniability. Profits go to the human owners, bad decisions go to the algorithm, and victims get to sue a corporate shell with a chatbot for a CEO. Delaware isn’t building the future of business. It’s building the ultimate accountability escape room.

Oh no, this AI company has started hiring hitmen to go after republican congressmen and senators 😱

Welp, nothing we can do. They're incorporated in Delaware 🤷‍♂️

So nobody is responsible for a technology that runs all our digital systems....wtf fuck are we doing?

this technology will get a lot of people killed and it will only stop when it destroys enough elite families.

"Welcome back to this week's episode of 'What Could Possibly Go Wrong?', and, oh boy, do we have a juicy one for you tonight!"

Of course it's Delaware

Delaware Delamain.

At first, I wondered why Comer would be opposing this sort of oligarchy-engineering. Maybe he's just sniffing around to get his cut? But it could be Niemöller's ghost finally rising to a level that reaches Comer.

And the CEO said:

• First they came for the artists, and I did not speak out because I have no heart.
• Then they came for the writers, and I did not speak out because I have no soul.
• Then they came for the actors, and I did not speak out because I have no emotions.
• Then they came for the software engineers, and I did not speak out because I have no mind.
• Then they came for the infosec people, and I did not speak out because I have no wisdom.
• Then they came for me. And the artists, writers, actors, software engineers, and infosec people laughed derisively at me. So I called James Comer.

The oligarchs might love this, but the third string C-suite execs that dine with Comer at the finest gas-station barbecue place in Paducah? The AIs have finally come for them.

How long before an AI decides to sell drugs online? I wonder how the courts will handle it?

Make infinite money. Make no mistakes.
