Oh, Goody. Thank you, Mad Gods of Slashdot, for granting me the opportunity to pedantically explain a weak joke.
Alan Turing proposed a simple test to judge intelligence. If a device could fool someone into thinking it was intelligent, then it might be intelligent.
Along with this test, was the ethical question of how we should treat an intelligent or potentially intelligent device. If a device is intelligent, is unplugging it morally questionable?
If we grant that a market is intelligent, this may also imply that a market is capable of being evil. It also may imply that destroying a market is evil.
Since markets tend to feed on and even on occasion destroy or assimilate other markets, a market being intelligent might well define a market as not only being evil in effect, but as being personally evil.
