And of course, tech firms are known for being honest, forthright, and keeping their promises.

2 years from now: We're sorry. We're really sorry....

Don't be evil!

I thought this was a The Onion headline

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

“Palantir” made me giggle. Who is next? Mark “The Eye of Sauron” Zuckie?

[-] Plibbert@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Trust me bro

This is stupid. Bind them by law or don't fucking bother.

[-] MerylasFalguard@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Being “bound by law” barely matters either. They’ll do it anyway and just pay a really minor fine and continue to do it anyway.

[-] Onionizer@geddit.social 3 points 1 year ago

Then make the fine bigger? EU's GDPR for example has a max fine of 10% global revenue

Isn't a pinky swear enough?

[-] Overzeetop@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Write in federal prison terms for any CEO who's company is convicted of AI misuse or abuse and I'll happily negotiate whether the minimum mandatory sentence should be higher or lower than 10 years.

[-] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Said it before I'll say it again, verbal contracts from any business is just lip service. Unless it comes with the real and actionable threat of destroying the business if they don't comply to the letter then they will reneg on the deal the second it becomes inconvenient

Palantir?? I mean the others deserve cynicism too but the company whose whole job is evil and named itself after a surveillance tool explicitly used for evil?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I 100% thought this was an Onion article. Reality is disappointing lately.

How does that pinky swear line up with a business model of “Move fast and break things”?

What a fucking crock of shit.

[-] demonmittenhands@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Biden, you gotta make them pinky swear! It's not legally binding without that!

The White House: Well that doesn’t sound very profitable

I will not be partaking in this pledge

[-] Syo@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I promise to do no evil.

Cross my heart
And hope to die
Stick a needle in my eyes.
(Crossmark on heart)

...

The contract is sealed. Steely nothing will go wrong, right?

[-] dyma@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
