It has nothing to do with being cowards, they are robots. It's a case of saving a little money at the expense of being excluded from a lot of money.

Piracy laws are very effective... for curbing intentional piracy in businesses because they have too much to lose to break laws like these and they are basically robots with instructions to follow the law.

But they won't outlaw these, what they'd do is prohibit companies that use them from government work/contracts and the government gives away WAY too much of our money to give that up.

So ice planets are intelligent, is what you are saying. Very interesting.

Cybercrime is going to be wild in a few years.

I see. But if we count the opportunity cost, it's not $4 trillion right?

Where does this money come from? Was it minted just for this?

You're still here after all these years?

Notably though if we actually run out of work to do we have a post-scarcity utopia, and that happens when people are so rich that there's basically not a single person who, given even more money, would even be able to think of something to spend it on. That's not going to happen any time soon, so we're basically dealing with a distribution problem, which requires distribution (e.g. minimum wage, set it to 1/3 national hourly GDP, the reason for this takes a while to explain) and redistribution (negative income tax, do it as a universal dividend) policies along with monetary policy to properly increase the money supply to not fall behind productivity growth.

Just hack into everything he makes, that's going to be the MO here. "Oh this guy's LinkedIn says he worked at [insurance company]" boom, an army of 14 year olds now is millionaires from stealing millions of credit cards and selling them on the dark web.

In about 20 years we will call this a cyberweapon broken arrow event.

If companies reduce their workforce by 10% then corporate taxes need to go up by the lost tax revenue.

The way psychopathy works is that if I am a psychopath then I necessarily run all those companies. It's a low-entropy mode.
