I've internalised the adage "Don’t listen to what people/corporations say, watch what they do" and found it very useful to see through these fancy statements.

It's especially useful at workplace to observe what people do and understand the politics. And at a different level observing how Google was acting more evil by the day made me completely switch over to the Apple ecosystem.



Corporations after a certain size become essentially AIs without moral values maximizing profit. It’s funny how some fear the paper clip AI, when capitalism is exactly that. Any decision that seems to be in good moral is simply based on which direction is more profitable, eg, can Company get away in terms of public image with a non-moral decision, or would it then away more potential buyer?


Not even just after a certain size, the current trend in society is to quantify everything so that it can be optimized. There's many companies(like kausa.ai) which focus on quantifying, measuring, and optimizing every facet of your business that they can, no matter the size.
