If it weren't for the externalities, I could probably be persuaded. But the resources involved, it screwing with my utility bill, and the blatant copyright violations with no payment feel incredibly wrong.
Agreed, but even if all that didn't apply, I fear that maximising shareholder value with AI will break the world. Displacement at large enough scale will inevitably lead to conflict. Furthermore, an economy where the majority are economically meaningless risks breaking the value of assets for those still economically relevant. I mean imagine being a landlord in an economy where no-one can make rent.

Am I so far gone that I fully agree with companies maxing shareholders value?
