For what it’s worth, I have very high uncertainty about the desirability of wholly autonomous corporations. There’s some world where it all works out fine, but if I had to single out one practice we may well need to international cooperation to ban, it would be this.

@deanwball Agree if by autonomous here you mean no human beneficial owner!

I'm not in politics so I don't have to be as measured here... autonomous legal entities with real financial resources not under human control are one of the worst ideas I've ever heard and should be nuked from orbit.

@sebkrier Correct; liable/responsible/benefitting human is what I care about

@deanwball Same. Corporations acting for their own sake makes no sense, same with agents. Some related points from my RSI piece:
