In reply to JimR:
Large multi nationals having integrity! That's hilarious. They are accountable to Shareholders, who want returns. Pensioners, Investors, Governments, Stock markets ruled by greed who want more money. If the market is not fixed, why does the FTSE keep rising?
The multinationals follow cheap labour, plunder weaker countries and wreck the environment. I digress, with AI, my word, how the world will change. Perhaps we will become slaves. Who controls the AI? Humans? I doubt it. If a machine develops consciousness the human element no longer exists, why should it in the long term?
Name me one ethical company, Body shop tried to be, were they really?
Please, will some one list me a few ethical companies with real integrity. (A new thread maybe)
Ethics cost. Integrity costs. Having integrity means saying no, walking away from money because you have a belief. Real integrity means telling the truth. Whistle blowing. Not playing politics. If you play a game, you keep your job, if you say the right thing, you do not rock the boat. You are applauded. If you create wealth, profits, a company loves you. Its called profit maximisation. Screw everyone else. How else did Trump manage? He took risk, bought cheap properties, inherited a network from his father, then exploited a lot of people. And half of America respects him. If you go bankrupt 3 times, where does all the money that never actually existed go? How do you then amass a fortune?
Putin, rules by fear, an oligarch. Totalitarian. People are scared of him. The Russians? Guess what they respect him. So the media state, that big , big machine that cons people
Do either of them have true integrity as world leaders?
Only if they don't destroy the planet in my estimation. Mars is a long way away. We have finite resources on an overpopulated planet.
