Google’s AI turns ‘perverts into heroes’: Gutfeld
A couple decades ago, I read of an Old Washington Hand who worked in Congress, the bureaucracy, and lobbyist groups who, upon his retirement, described the DC inner workings as "nerds working for sociopaths." At first, I thought this an exaggeration, but came to embrace its explanatory power.
Unfortunately, that descriptor now applies to most of our major institutions. Given time, it seems that manipulative sociopaths rise to the top, surrounded by an attached train of conspiratorial dependents who -- in Elon Musk's memorable words -- pretend to be good while doing evil. Are Sociopaths framing Donald Trump as a Russian Spy? Nerd journalists are there to help! Should we believe "the Science," as political hacks demand, even when it is no longer believable? Of course!
Artificial intelligence lacks human empathy -- in other words, it's legitimately psychopathic. Now we have "Nerds working for Sociopaths" creating an information system to malevolently manipulate the population for the benefit of psychologically unfit institutions. A few missteps along that road should be expected, but the intended destination remains the same.
Stop giving them money.

The ethical situation is politically complex.
