Everybody I know who understands both computers and organizations at say college level believes in some version of “corporations are AIs” at a fairly literal (< 50% metaphoric) level. But there’s no good essay on this idea.

Hmm just the title is enough to tell me this ain’t what I’m talking about

understandable. given that it’s an entire book, it covers lots of stuff, but it’s also got some really good analysis on that exact metaphor how does the saying go? “don’t judge a book by its cover” :p

I just think moral judgment is the wrong starting point for this topic. It’s like a book with the title “God exists” might talk a lot about physics but wouldn’t be my first choice to explore physics

100%. i’d definitely say i found the author’s slight moralistic bent to be distasteful (at best). but i thought the exploration of the “corporations as AI” metaphor to be thorough, especially in the absence of similar analyses to draw from
